Procession Music from 'Drake' - Composed by C. V. Stanford - Arranged for Organ by Walter G. Alcock

By Charles Villiers Stanford and Walter G Alcock

This volume contains the original sheet music for "Procession Music from 'Drake'", a classical music piece composed by Charles V. Stanford and arranged for the organ by G. Alcock. Sir Walter Galpin Alcock (1861 - 1947) was an English composer and organist. He was an esteemed organ player, performing at the coronations of three different monarchs during his lifetime. 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.
