Sir Charles Villiers Stanford (b. 1852, Dublin; d. 1924, London) Charles Villiers Stanford started his musical career as a choirboy at St. Patrick's (Anglican) Cathedral in Dublin. Although his father intended for him to pursue the legal profession, his early musical talent convinced his father (an amateur cellist and singer) to allow him to engage in a musical career, provided he got a university education. He entered Queens College, Cambridge, in 1870 as a choral scholar but was soon awarded an organ scholarship at Trinity College, where he subsequently became Organist of the College and led several university choral societies—unprecedented for an undergraduate. From 1874 to 1876, he studied abroad for part of each year. He studied with Reinecke and Kiel and met Brahms, Wagner, Saint-Saëns, and Offenbach during these travels. In 1875 he won second prize in the Alexandria Palace competition for British composers for his Symphony No. 1. As a result, he garnered wider attention, including that of Alfred, Lord Tennyson, who commissioned him to write the incidental music for the play Queen Mary in 1876, when Stanford was not yet twenty-four. At twenty-six, his

Sir Charles Stanford and the R.C.M. Orchestra. Sir Charles Villiers Stanford had such gifts as a composer and teacher of composition that it is little wonder they have dominated most appreciations of him which have appeared of late in different quarters. Yet they were not his sole claim to eminence. His secondary gifts (could they have been dispersed), would have supplied several people with honourable reputations, and as a Conductor he achieved more than Collegians even - with their privileged opportunities for observation - may have quite realised. British orchestras are acknowledged to be among the finest in the world. Fifty years ago their members were mainly foreign: to-day they are staffed with British born, British trained players, unsurpassed in resourcefulness, self-reliance, sight-reading and ready musicianship. Their training grounds have been the R.A.M. and R.C.M., and Sir Charles Stanford was one of their greatest trainers. For years now he cannot have gone to any first class orchestral concert in the Kingdom without seeing the faces of old Collegians confronting him from among the ranks of players. Outside College he held several important appointments. The Cambridge conductorships began (while he was still an undergraduate) with the Cambridge Amateur Vocal Guild, soon joined by that of the Cambridge University Musical Society. Then there was the conductorship of the London Bach Choir, which lasted from 1885 to 1902, and the conductorship of the Leeds Philharmonic Society and Festival from 1901 to 1910. There were also various Royal Philharmonic Society Concerts in London. It is on these outside appointments that his conducting is usually appraised, but no one really knew him who had not seen him with the R.C.M. Orchestra. Here his powers found their most congenial expression, and he put a steady glow of enthusiasm into work that many men might have regarded as mere tiresome routine.

Levey (violin), Miss Meeke, Mrs Joseph Robinson , Miss Flynn and Michael Quarry (piano), young Stanford's musical powers were trained in the early days; and Sir Robert Stewart taught him composition and organ.

His appointment as conductor of the Cambridge University Musical Society gave him great opportunities, and the fame which the society soon obtained was in the main due to Stanford's energies. Before his time ladies were not admitted into the chorus , but during his tenure of the office of conductor many most interesting performances and revivals took place. In the years 1874 to 1877 he was given leave of absence for a portion of each year in order to complete his studies in

Afterward he went to Germany to study composition with Carl Reinecke in Leipzig, and later with Friedrich Kiel in Berlin.

Home Archive C Faust Alto Rhapsody As a conductor he early made his mark, and in addition to countless Festival and other engagements in England and on the Continent, he held the post of conductor to the Bach Choir (1885-1902) and Leeds Philharmonic Society (1897-1910). He received the honorary degree of Mus. Doc. at Oxford in 1883, and at Cambridge in 1888. The honour of knighthood was conferred on him in 1901, and in 1904 he was elected a member of the Royal Academy of Arts at Berlin. Like most British composers, his larger compositions have rarely had the attention they deserve. Yet few will deny that his symphonies and other orchestral works are infinitely better, and far more attractive, than stacks of things that are played to rags year in, year out. And are not and The Critic still worthy of the attention of our opera companies? Among choralists his position is secure. No church choir is likely to exhaust the interest and effect of his service music and anthems. His Service in B flat, with its skilful and significant use of fragments of plain-chant, was something new in English church music, and wears as too little of the repertory does. Choral societies, large and small, will long revel in
