music Gounod’s setting of a major Christian hymn 835. Charles Gounod Autograph Musical Manuscript Signed. French composer (1818-
1893) best remembered for his composition of ‘Ave Maria.’ Handwritten musical manuscript by Charles Gounod, two pages, 10.25 x 14, signed and inscribed on the front of the first page in ink, “A Madame Louisa Brown, There is a green hill far away… Ch. Gounod, 9bre/70.” Gounod intricately pens more than 60 bars of piano music and lyrics to the Christian hymn. In very good condition, with scattered toning and chipping to the fragile edges. Accompanied by a custom-made folder, worn at the spine. Gounod reportedly considered it to be ‘the most perfect hymn in the English language,’ due in part to its striking simplicity.
