OSX Yosemite suggesting updates, I don't want to upgrade, but need to upgrade iTunes

My oldish MacMini has a fresh install of Yosemite (OSX 10.10.5). I go to iTunes, check for updates, and request to download 12.8.1.

MacOS then sends my to app store updates, suggesting an update which includes macOS High Sierra (see screenshot).

Is there a way to install the new iTunes without installing all these updates?

Always check out Apple Support

There is a link to a 10.10.5 compatible version of iTunes 12.8.2. You must click this link for the 10.10.5 compatible version.

The 'Read before you install iTunes' document that is within the DMG states that 10.10.5 is supported on this version of iTunes.
