Charles Villiers Stanford had a profound influence on a whole generation of English composers, either as a composition teacher or as a presence in the musical community who could not be ignored. This influence extends today - anyone familiar with music for the Anglican liturgy will have encountered his canticle settings which remain a staple part of the repertoire of cathedrals throughout the country. While not actually his student, Constant Lambert was one of those to be influenced by Stanford and Philip Cooke follows in his footsteps, writing numerous sacred choral works. This programme also explores some of the less well-known corners of Stanford’s output - his partsongs (with a particular focus on melodies from his native Ireland), piano works and solo songs.
