| Publisher Description: This vintage book contains Charles V. Stanford's "Unison Service in D major", a 1923 collection of five classical music compositions in D major for vocals and organ. The compositions include: "Te Deum Laudamus", "Benedictus", "Juilate Deo", "Magnificat", and "Nune Dimittis". Presented clearly with room for notes and annotations, this volume is ideal for students and is not to be missed by those with an interest in learning how to play one of Stanford's musical masterpieces. 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 the organ. |
