Overview

This volume contains the original sheet music for Funeral March from 'Becket' , a musical piece composed by Charles V. Stanford and arranged for the organ by Sydney H. Nicholson. Sir Sydney Hugo Nicholson (1875 - 1947) was an English organist, composer and choir director most famous for being the founder of the Royal School of Church Music (RSCM). 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. This fantastic composition will appeal to those with an interest in learning and playing classical music, and it is not to be missed by fans and collectors of Stanford'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 on the history of the organ.
