| Publisher Description: This vintage book contains Charles V. Stanford's "The Revenge, Op. 26", a musical composition for chorus and orchestra set to the words of Alfred, Lord Tennyson's poem of the same name. 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. 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. |
