The first book devoted to the composer Charles Villiers Stanford
(1852-1924) since 1935, this survey provides the fullest account of
his life and the most detailed appraisal of his music to date.
Renowned in his own lifetime for the rapid rate at which he
produced new works, Stanford was also an important conductor and
teacher. Paul Rodmell assesses these different roles and considers
what Stanford's legacy to British music has been. Born and brought
up in Dublin, Stanford studied at Cambridge and was later appointed
Professor of Music there. His Irish lineage remained significant to
him throughout his life, and this little-studied aspect of his
character is examined here in detail for the first time. A man
about whom no-one who met him could feel indifferent, Stanford made
friends and enemies in equal numbers. Rodmell charts these
relationships with people and institutions such as Richter, Parry
and the Royal College of Music, and discusses how they influenced
Stanford's career. Perhaps not the most popular of teachers,
Stanford nevertheless coached a generation of composers who were to
revitalize British music, amongst them Coleridge-Taylor, Ireland,
Vaughan-Williams, Holst, Bridge and Howells. While their musical
styles may not be obviously indebted to Stanford's, it is clear
that, without him, British music of the first half of the twentieth
century might have taken a very different course.
