Description
This is the complete sheet music for Charles V. Stanford's "Songs of the Fleet, Op. 117", a collection of classical musical compositions for piano set to the words of poems by Henry John Newbolt.
Sir Henry John Newbolt (1862 - 1938) was an English novelist, poet, and historian best remembered for his poems "Vitai Lampada" and "Drake's Drum".
Contents include: "Drake's Drum", "Outward Bound", "Devon O Devon", "Homeward Bound", "The 'Old Superb'".
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 musical notation.
