Intermezzo - Founded Upon an Irish Air - Sheet Music for Organ - No. 4, Op. 189 - Paperback

by Charles Villiers Stanford (Author)

"Founded Upon an Irish Air - No. 4, Op. 189" a 1923 classical music composition for solo organ by Charles V. Stanford, originally part of his "4 Intermezzi, Op. 189". This volume contains the complete, original sheet music for this beautiful piece, which is highly recommended for students and musicians with an interest in playing classical English organ music. 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.
