Our first release of 2020 and the second in our 'Northern Edition' Series (the purpose of the series is to extend the range of music from Northern England from composers both past and present). These are two typical romantic Victorian pieces and are suitable for concert or recital use.
Sir Joseph Barnby was an English composer and conductor born in York in 1838. He was educated at the Royal Acadamy of Music and went on to succeed Charles Gounod as Conductor of the Royal Albert Hall Choral Society. He was also director of music at Eton College, and in 1892 became principal of the Guildhall School of Music, being the first conductor to receive the honour of knighthood in July of that year.
