Publisher's Synopsis
This book contains the original sheet music for Cecil Forsyth's "Lady Anne (A Polite Tale)", a choral ballad set to music for piano and intended for female vocals. A masterful combination of classical music and poetry, this composition is highly recommended for musicians and poetry lovers alike. Cecil Forsyth (1870 - 1941) was an English composer and musicologist. He played the viola in various orchestras in London after attending the University of Edinburgh and the Royal College of Music, where he studied together with Hubert Parry and Charles Villiers Stanford. He is best remembered for his operas "Westward Ho!" and "Cinderella", as well as the choral ballad "Tinker, Tailor". With wide margins and clear notation, this volume is highly recommended for students and players with an interest in mastering Forsyth'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 musical notation.
