This is the complete sheet music for Charles V. Stanford’s Songs of the Fleet, Op. 117 , a collection of classical musical compositions for piano set to the words of poems by Henry John Newbolt. Sir Henry John Newbolt (1862 - 1938) was an English novelist, poet, and historian best remembered for his poems Vitai Lampada and Drake’s Drum . Contents include: Drake’s Drum , Outward Bound , Devon O Devon , Homeward Bound , The ‘Old Superb’ . 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. 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.
