Book Description
This volume contains the original sheet music for Charles V. Stanford's "Songs of a Roving Celt, Op. 157" a musical composition for solo voice and piano set to the words of Murdoch Maclean's poem of the same name. This volume will appeal most to lovers of classical music and poetry, and it it not to be missed by collectors of rare 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. This vintage book will appeal to those who enjoy playing classical music, and it is not to be missed by collectors of related literature. 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.
