By Frederic Hymen Cowen

Book Overview

Saint Ursula: Sacred Cantata is a musical composition written by Frederic Hymen Cowen in 1881. It is a choral work that tells the story of Saint Ursula, a legendary Christian saint who was martyred in the 4th century. The cantata is divided into several sections, each of which depicts a different aspect of Saint Ursula's life and death. The music is written for choir and orchestra, and features soloists who sing the roles of various characters in the story. The piece incorporates elements of both classical and romantic music, with lush harmonies and soaring melodies. Cowen's use of orchestration is particularly notable, with the orchestra providing a rich and varied accompaniment to the choir. Overall, Saint Ursula: Sacred Cantata is a powerful and moving work of music that tells the story of a remarkable woman and her devotion to her faith.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
