Description

This volume contains the original music notation for "Bible Songs, Op. 113", a classical music composition for solo voice and organ by Charles V. Stanford. This piece is set to words from the Bible (Ecclesiasticus - XXIV, KJV). A beautiful marriage of Christian verse and classical music, this composition is not to be missed by fans of religions music or the fantastic work of this seminal composer. 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. 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.
