Charles Villiers Stanford is justifiably renowned for his brilliantly original church music, but he is perhaps less well known for the extraordinary range of other work he composed across his highly creative life. This lecture will explore some of that repertoire which will include extracts from his operas, symphonies, choral works, songs and partsongs, and it is hoped, that hearing some of this unfamiliar music will provide a useful prism through which we can derive a fresh appreciation of his unrivalled composition for the Anglican liturgy.
Part of the RSCM's #Stanford100 events to mark the composer's centenary
The event takes place in the Cambridge college where Stanford was an organ scholar
