God is Our Hope and Strength, Op. 8" is a musical composition for solo, chorus, orchestra, and organ by Charles V. Stanford. This particular piece is based on Psalm XLVI from The Book of Psalms, containing its words as lyrics set to classical music. Sir Charles Villiers Stanford (1852 - 1924) was an Irish composer, conductor, and teacher of music. He was educated at the University of Cambridge and continued his studies in Berlin and Leipzig. He was a very influential composer, responsible for making Cambridge University Musical Society an internationally acclaimed organisation. Stanford was also a profuse composer, producing a large corpus of work in many genres, however, he is perhaps best remembered for his Anglican choral works for church performance. His music eventually became overshadowed by that of Edward Elgar and a number of his former pupils in the 20th century. Other notable compositions by Stanford include: "The Veiled Prophet of Khorassan" (1879), "Savonarola" (1883), "The Canterbury Pilgrims" (1883). This volume is highly recommended for those with an interest in classical Christian music. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the history of the organ.
