About this Item

THERE ARE NO TARIFFS OR CUSTOMS DUTIES ON BOOKS. "Any celebration of Martin Shaw's life is in a very real way an English occasion; and therefore in some sense an old-fashioned occasion. For we are here reflecting on the life of the man whose special distinction it was to restore to English church music the quality of being English. This he did because he profoundly - we might almost say fanatically - believed in the virtues of being English. Times have changed, manners and assumptions have changed unrecognizably; and it will be as if we were writing of somebody who belonged to a far distant age. That is inevitable. I must try to bring to life a man whom I myself met only once - although memorably - but whose name has ever since I can remember anything been among those which I most affectionately honoured." (https://www.musicweb-international.com/). Pictorial card covers. Staple binding. Some foxing. No inscriptions. Illustrated in colour. Unpaginated.
