 Update me on new releases by Stanford

Charles Villiers Stanford (9/30/1852 - 3/29/1924)

Born in Dublin in 1852, Stanford established himself in England as a leading figure in the musical life of the country, appointed professor of composition at the Royal College of Music in London in 1883 and four years later elected to the chair of music at Cambridge. He exercised a strong influence over generations of composition pupils, although, by his final years, his once admired achievements as a composer were out of fashion. He had maintained strong personal relations with composers in Austria, Germany and France, including Brahms, the violinist Joachim, and Saint-Saëns. He was knighted in 1902.

Oratorios, Cantatas and Church Music

Stanford fulfilled contemporary demands in a wide range of choral works, services and anthems that remain in cathedral use in the Church of England. He also wrote a solemn Requiem Mass for the painter Lord Leighton and set a number of varied texts, often of patriotic or religious intention.

Stage Works

Stanford wrote incidental music for a number of plays, including the Cambridge Greek Play, and several operas, including The Veiled Prophet of Khorassan, based on Thomas Moore’s poem Lalla Rookh.

Orchestral Music

A prolific orchestral composer, Stanford wrote seven symphonies, a Clarinet Concerto and a number of other concertos, and five Irish Rhapsodies.
