Overview

Cushendall, Op.118 is a musical composition by Charles Villiers Stanford. For lyrics, it uses the words from the eponymous poem by John Stevenson (1761 - 1833), an Irish composer most famous for collaborative efforts with with other musicians and poets that incorporate traditional Irish songs or poetry. This volume contains the original sheet music for these pieces, presented here in a modern edition for the enjoymen oft music and poetry lovers. 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. 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 on the history of musical notation.
