Description

This is the complete sheet music for Charles V. Stanford's "Ode to Wellington", a classical musical composition based upon the eponymous poem by seminal English poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson.

Tennyson's ode concerned the death of Arthur Wellesley (1769 - 1852), twice Prime Minister and leading military in19th-century Britain.

This volume will appeal to lovers of classical music and poetry alike, and it it not to be missed fans and collectors of Stanford's wonderful work.

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.
