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.
