Synopsis "How Beauteous are Their Feet - Short Anthem for Saints' day - Sheet Music Arranged for Soprana, Alto, Tenor, Bass and Organ - Words by dr. Watts"
This book contains the complete, original sheet music for Charles V. Stanford's "How Beauteous are Their Feet", a 1923 musical composition for soprano, tenor, alto, bass and organ using the words of Dr. Watts' hymn of the same name. Isaac Watts (1674 - 1748) was an English Christian minister, theologian, and hymn writer. He wrote a large number popular hymns, many of which are still used today. This wonderful composition will appeal to lovers of christian and classical music alike, and it is not to be missed by collectors of allied literature. 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. 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.
