Angebote / Angebote:

Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809 - 1892) was a British poet who remains one of the most famous and popular. During the Victorian Era he was Poet Laureate of Great Britain and Ireland, and some of his most notable works include: "Break, Break, Break", "The Charge of the Light Brigade", and "Tears, Idle Tears". This volume contains his poem "Mary's Song" set to music for voice and piano, composed by Charles V. Stanford. 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. 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.
