STANFORD AND SONS
Adults $15.00, ages 18 and under free
As a composer, Charles Villiers Stanford (1852-1924) joined with Parry and Elgar to lead a late 19th-century renaissance in English music. Credited with sweeping away “the empty conventions and complacencies which had debased English church music since Purcell,” Stanford also established new standards in his oratorios, cantatas, and part-songs, but it was as a teacher of composition that he exercised his most lasting influence on British music. We showcase Stanford’s music, as well as that of two of his most prominent pupils, Ralph Vaughan Williams and Herbert Howells. Baritone Jordan Markham joinS us for Vaughan-Williams’s Five Mystical Songs and selections from Stanford’s Songs of the Fleet, and we sing, as well, motets and Anglican service music.
