Chanson Celtique - A Music Score for Viola and PianoPaperback, 14 December 2018

Cecil Forsyth (1870 - 1941) was an English composer and musicologist. He played the viola in various orchestras in London after attending the University of Edinburgh and the Royal College of Music, where he studied together with Hubert Parry and Charles Villiers Stanford. He is best remembered for his operas "Westward Ho!" and "Cinderella", as well as the choral ballad "Tinker, Tailor". This book contains the complete sheet music for his piece "Chanson Celtique", a classical composition for piano and vocals. With wide margins and clear notation, this volume is highly recommended for students and those with an interest in playing classical music. 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 and biography of the composer.
