		harles Villiers Stanford was a native of Dublin, where he began his musical life as a pupil of Arthur O’Leary and Sir Robert Stewart.
		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 AT 150 DESERVES these two full-length books, if only because, apart from the more adventurous recording companies, it is mainly the churches that have kept him going since his death and that is not enough.
		Dibble is more generous in his quotations of Stanford himself, whether of such autobiographical books as Studies and memories, Pages from an unwritten diary, Interludes, records and reflections, the many articles of far more than passing interest, or the often combative prose of his correspondence and their sometimes wounded ripostes.
		Dibble therefore gives the richer impression of Stanford the man, touchy, pugnacious on behalf of the causes he held dear and for his students, nor idle in the matter of seeking performances, the more essential in view of a financial position that was never very secure.

		Charles Villiers Stanford, although Irish by birth, was undoubtedly one of the most influential figures in British music from the last century.
		The teacher of Holst, Moeran, Vaughan Williams and Howells, Stanford was the undisputed founder of the renaissance in English music that began in the late nineteenth century, and continued on through the works of Walton and Britten.
		With Brahms as his musical idol, Stanford enlivened the otherwise waning music of the Victorian composers by using Brahmsian devices such as a cyclical unity in his settings of the morning, communion and evening services, and by giving the organ a much more prominent and dynamic role in the music.

		The C major was the last of the "big five" services; Stanford himself felt it was his finest, and was surely right, for it combines an imposing grandeur with a melodic simplicity which conceals an unfailing harmonic resourcefulness.
		However, it is the recording of the Te Deum under John Rutter, with the Cambridge singers on a disc shared between Stanford and Howells (Collegium COLCD 118), which really shows the importance of the organ.
		Unrecorded Stanford anthems and other church pieces remain numerous, most of them are good and some are more than that.

		It is arguable that Stanford made the greatest contribution to this renaissance, and that the labels of "Victorian" and "Edwardian" apply less to his music than to that of the others."
		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.

		Dublin-born Charles Villiers Stanford (1852-1924), an organist, who taught at the Royal College of Music, did indeed have a German training (at Leipzig and Berlin).
		Stanford’s slow movement (this traditional three-movement concerto’s second) is especially lovely, radiantly blooming, confidences intimately shared.
		The finale, in its suggestion of Irish folk music, returns Stanford to his roots and has infectious qualities similar to the last movement of Dvorak’s concerto.

		Stanford is one of the most natural musical talents Britain has ever produced.
		Charles Villiers Stanford is invariably remembered as the teacher of many of Britain's first generation of twentieth-century composers, and as the author of many much-loved works for the Anglican liturgy.
		Nevertheless, Stanford must be recognised as one of the most natural musical talents Britain has ever produced, which is evident in the extraordinary breadth of his creative output, which, on closer acquaintance, reveals a fecund originality shaped by classical equipoise and fertile melodic gift.

		It is not known why the Protestant Stanford composed a Stabat Mater.
		However, in two places Stanford breaks through the order of the poem's stanzas: after the "dum emisit spiritum" the soprano repeats "Stabat Mater Dolorosa" and after the third stanza in the second section the chorus repeats the opening sentence "Eia Mater, fons amoris".

		Sir Charles Villiers-Stanford is not well known today, but a century ago he was in his prime as one of the best known and most respected Irish composers of the Victorian Era.
		The fourth is a rollicking corker in which Stanford's own musical voice is most clearly heard, jigging, jumping and spinning through a Celtic musical landscape to a conclusion which Dvorak could have written.
		Stanford's First is not the best of his seven symphonies, but Handley does as good a job as he does with the others in the Chandos Stanford cycle, and I find myself listening again and again.

		Stanford studied in Germany with Carl Reinecke (Leipzig) and Friedrich Kiel (Berlin).
		Together with Hubert Parry (1848-1918) and Charles Wood (1866-1926), Stanford was responsible for the English renaissance, which freed church music from its traditional circumstances.

		Gabriel Faure was a pupil of Camille Saint-Saëns at the Ecole Niedermeyer and served as organist at various Paris churches, including finally the Madeleine, but had no teaching position until 1897 at the Conservatoire, where his pupils included Ravel and Enescu.
