God's Acre - A Music Score for Vocals and Piano - To Accompany This Poem by Erwin Clarkson GarrettPaperback, 21 December 2018

This volume contains the complete sheet music for Cecil Forsyth's "God's Acre", a classical music composition for voice and piano set to the words from Erwin Clarkson Garrett's eponymous poem. A beautiful combination of classical music and poetry, this composition is highly recommended for musicians and collectors of vintage sheet music. 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 wonderful piece is perfect for those with an interest in learning and playing classical piano music, and it is not to be missed by fans and collectors of Forsyth's seminal work. 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.
