Te Deum Laudamus - Together with the Office for the Holy Communion - Morning Service in A - Sheet Music for Voice and Organ

The "Te Deum" is an early Christian hymn of praise, it's name originating from the opening Latin words: 'Te Deum Laudamus'; or 'Thee, O God, we praise'. This volume contains the complete sheet music for Charles Villiers Stanford's musical rendition of the hymn, being its words set to music for solo voice, chorus and orchestra. 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. "Te Deum, Op.66" is highly recommended for fans of classical and Christian music. 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.
