The Bell-Man - A Music Score for Vocals and PianoPaperback, 21 December 2018

This volume contains the complete, original sheet music for Cecil Forsyth's "The Bell-Man", a musical composition for piano and voice. Cecil Forsyth (1870 - 1941) was an English composer and musicologist. He played the viola in various orchestras after attending the University of Edinburgh and 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". He also published a number of books, including: "A Study of English Opera" (1911), "Choral Orchestration" (1920), and "A History of Music" (1916). This volume will appeal to those who enjoy playing classical music, and it is not to be missed by collectors of related literature. 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.
