Stanford 100
Charles Villiers Stanford, one of the great choral composers of the late 19th/Early 20th Centuries, died in March 1924.
Like many organisations, we are celebrating this milestone throughout the year. Stanford left a vast legacy of both his own music as well as that of his illustrious pupils such as Holst, Ireland, Vaughan Williams and Wood. Much of Stanford’s choral and organ repertoire is heard in churches and cathedrals throughout the year, but this is a time also to explore less well-known works. As executors of the Stanford estate, the Royal School of Church Music publish a vast range of Stanford’s music.
