Overview

This volume contains the sheet music for Charles V. Stanford's Stabat Mater, Op. 96 . It is a 'symphonic cantata', a vocal composition accompanied by instruments, typically in several movements and often including a choir. 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. Contents include: Prelude , Quartet and Chorus. 'Stabat Mater' , Intermezzo , Quartet and Chorus. 'Eja Mater' , and Finale . 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.
