STANFORD CD - Sir Charles Villiers Stanford is considered the father of English choral music & played a major role in the English musical renaissance through his legacy of teaching & composing. Almost every major 20th Century English composer benefited from his strict tuition: Holst, Moeran, Bliss, Vaughan Williams, Howells & Bridge all studied under him. In his compositions he re-shaped & enriched the repertoire with finely-wrought anthems & services, many of which are still performed today.
