This book contains the complete, original sheet music for Charles V. Stanford's "Magnificat, Op.164", a musical composition for eight-part chorus. It was dedicated to his student Charles Hubert Hastings Parry, who died in the World War I just months before the armistice and the publication of this piece. 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. Stanford 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. 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 musical notation.
