Cecil Forsyth's "Twilight Night" is a musical composition using the
words from Christina Rossetti's poem by the same name as lyrics.
Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830 - 1894) was an English poet famous for
her romantic, devotional, and children's poems. Her most celebrated
works are Goblin Market and Remember, and she was also responsible for
the words of the Christmas carols In the Bleak Midwinter and Love Came
Down at Christmas. 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". This volume will be of
particular interest to those who enjoy classical music and poetry, and
it would make for a fantastic addition to collections of allied
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.
