This vintage book contains the original sheet music for Charles V. Stanford’s Sonata Celtica No. 4, Op.153 a sonata in three movements for solo organ. It was first composed in 1918 and published in 1920. 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 in the 20th century. Presented clearly with room for notes and annotations, this volume is ideal for students and those with an interest in learning to play one of Stanford’s masterpieces. 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.
