Stanford's \"St Patrick's Breastplate\", a classical music composition for chorus and organ in the key of G, using the words from Cecil Frances Alexander's eponymous hymn. Cecil Frances Alexander (1818 - 1895) was an Anglo-Irish poet and hymnodist. Other notable works of hers include: \"Verses for Holy Seasons\" (1846), \"The Lord of the Forest and His Vassals\" (1847), and \"Hymns for Little Children\" (1848). 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 international 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 on the history of musical notation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.04 x 11 x 8.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 14, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52710594576691,"sku":"9781528707435","price":35.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/OTFXT1p5bUZabENjcG5mK3RzS0RLQT09_87a44265-c46c-4336-9de7-a56998280654.webp?v=1763496026","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/st-patricks-breastplate-hymn-of-the-ancient-irish-church-words-by-cecil-frances-alexander-sheet-music-arranged-for-mixed-chorus-and-organ-in-g-paperback-1","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
