Much Ado About Nothing is a play by William Shakespeare written sometime between 1598 and 1599 and included in his First Folio (1623). This volume contains the complete sheet music for Charles Villiers Stanford's Op. 76, a four-act opera based upon the famous work by Shakespeare. This music will appeal to those with an interest in performing Stanford's rendition of Much Ado About Nothing is not to be missed by fans and collectors of his seminal work. 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. 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.
