Description

The composer anxiously awaits "the Te Deum & Benedictus"

ALS, one page, 4.5 x 7, July 5, 1897. Letter to his publisher Novello & Co., in full: "I am feeling rather anxiously to the arrival of the Te Deum & Benedictus & shall be much obliged if you can get it sufficiently advanced for the chorus to have proof copies as soon as possible. There is probably a vacation in August so that the opportunities for chorus rehearsal become less as time goes on." In fine condition.
