Piano Music - Charles Villiers Stanford

Charles Villiers Stanford


1852 - 1924
Charles Villiers Stanford was an Irish composer, music teacher, and conductor of the late Romantic era. Stanford was a prodigiously gifted and greatly versatile musician who, along with Carrie and Mackenzie contributed much to forging the new standards of the so-called 'renaissance' of British music at the end of the 19th century. He brought a technical brilliance to most genres as a composer and acquired a stature as a composer primarily in the province of church music. Today he is best remembered as a teacher of several generations of British composers who studied with him at the Royal College of Music and Cambridge University.
