(1880s), being the manuscript score of Gounod's sacred song For Ever with The Lord (1872), consisting of over 150 bars of music, with words, on 16 stave manuscript paper. With a smaller, neatly trimmed additional page of manuscript loosely inserted. Signed by Gounod to the title page, completed entirely in his hand, '''For ever with the Lord'' a Sacred Song, The words by…The music by Ch. Gounod (nota) The copyright of this song belongs to M. M[ess]rs. Phillips and Page, Ch. Gounod'. Some light overall age wear and dust staining, most noticeable to the outer covers, about VG Gounod was a prolific composer of songs, although most of them were secular and only a small handful of religious songs, such as the present example, were written for the British market. During his lifetime Gounod's religious music was regarded in many quarters more highly than his most popular operas. Alfred Phillips and Sydney Hubert Page entered into partnership as music publishers in 1884, the same year in which they commissioned Gounod to compose the popular setting of The King of Love My Shepherd is. Phillips and Page went on to publish further works by Gounod including O Divine Redeemer.
