 Charles Villiers Stanford - Wikipedia NL
Sir Charles Villiers Stanford ( 30 september 1852 – 29 maart 1924) was een in Dublin, Ierland geboren en opgegroeide Engelse componist.
Hij werd op grond van zijn muzikaal talent toegelaten tot de Universiteit van Cambridge op zijn 18e waar hij zich al spoedig een grote reputatie verwierf en tot organist van Trinity College werd benoemd nog voor zijn kandidaatsexamen.
Zijn werk leeft echter vooral voort in de muziek die hij voor de kerk schreef; hij is een van de meest gespeelde componisten in de Anglicaanse kerk, naast zijn vriend en opvolger Charles Wood.

 The Musical Times: Charles Villiers Stanford 1852-1924   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
So unerring was his knowledge of effect – which is, of course, merely a branch of a composer’s technique – that many a work, uninspired and dull on paper, ‘comes off’ so well in performance as to reach a degree of success denied to better music less well written.
Although there is difference of opinion as to the value of Stanford’s instrumental works in the larger forms, there is unanimity as to his general high level when writing for voices.
We believe that a revival of the bigger Stanford works will take place, and that it will show him to be of greater stature than was evident to most musicians during his life-time.

Stanford almost certainly kept no diary (none was found) and seems to have kept a "clean desk", throwing away letters as he answered them, maintaining only a small scrap book of letters from particularly famous people (Greene assures us that "a most thorough search" was made for further correspondence).
Stanford’s two children, Geraldine and Guy, both died childless and he himself was an only child (but his wife came from a family of nine, so what about the relations on that side?).
His conclusions on Stanford as a conductor are unexceptionable except that, in assessing a conductor’s work, it would be a normal practice to take into consideration any recordings he made, yet Rodmell nowhere mentions (and neither does Dibble for that matter) the two sessions which Stanford cut in 1916 and 1923.

 Charles Hartshorne
Charles Hartshorne is considered by many philosophers to be one of the most important philosophers of religion and metaphysicians of the twentieth century.
In fact, a small number of scholars--some philosophers and some theologians--think of him as the greatest metaphysician of the second half of the twentieth century, yet, with a few exceptions to be treated below, his work has not been very influential among analytic philosophers who are theists.
Charles Hartshorne was born in the nineteenth century and lived to philosophize in the twenty-first.

 Kruger set research on steady course
When Charles Kruger became vice provost and dean of research and graduate policy in 1993, his challenges were daunting.
Stanford's relationships with the government were strained, with more than a dozen auditors scrutinizing direct and indirect costs of almost everything the university charged to the government.
"Charles in particular understood that to earn it, our policies for the conduct of research had to be unquestionably compliant, clearly stated, understandable to and understood by the faculty and their support staff, and, most importantly, fairly and consistently enforced," he wrote in an e-mail interview.

Charles Hubert Hastings Parry (1848-1918) and Charles Villiers Stanford (1852-1924) rose above the insular mediocrity of the British musical establishment of the time, exemplified in cathedrals throughout the country.
Stanford, whose career followed a similar trajectory to Parry’s, is now regarded primarily as a brilliant teacher with a role-call of pupils including Vaughan Williams, Holst, Ireland, Bridge, Howells, Moeran and Lambert, and as a composer who reinvigorated the moribund cathedral tradition.
The transformation Stanford wrought in his settings of the communion service and the evening canticles was perhaps his greatest achievement in church music.

 Classical Net - Composers - Stanford
Stanford also enjoyed a high profile public career as a conductor of some repute and through his long-term involvement with several provincial festivals all through the British Isles.
Later in his career, Stanford's symphonies were upstaged by the works of much more flamboyant orchestrators and were made to appear plain and somewhat old-fashioned in comparison with the symphonies of Elgar.
However, Stanford's creative impulse and sense of invention was un-diminished in his later years and he managed to create some of his most beautiful works during this time, though many were left unpublished and few were performed.
