This is Charles V. Stanford "Songs of Faith, Op. 97", containing three classical musical compositions based upon poems by seminal poets Alfred, Lord Tennyson and Walt Whitman. The pieces are for voice and piano, with the lyrics of which being the words to the poems in question. Contents include: "The Soul", "Tears", and "Joy, Shipmate, Joy". This fantastic collection will appeal to lovers of classical music and poetry alike, and it it not to be missed fans and collectors of Stanford's wonderful work. 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. His music eventually became overshadowed by that of Edward Elgar and a number of his former pupils in the 20th century. 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 Walt Whitman.
