In my years as an organist, I've worked with some of Stanford's Church music; mostly the Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis and Te Deum settings, the Motets, and Organ music. I've recently purchased the complete Symphonies on Naxos and am familiarising myself with them. It would be great to have Jeremy Dibble's book on the great man in my library, but its price has always been an obstacle and there's no sign of a Paperback copy. Looking ahead to the imminent publication of the Revised version - weighing in at around £70 - that also seems to be far in excess of most people's budgets, which is not going to help anyone with an interest in Stanford's life and music to study the subject. Making it a lost opportunity! He does seem to have been a stern teacher, by all accounts, but composed much glorious music which is well worth exploring. One wonders, in the year which marks the centenary of his death, where his music will mainly be performed outside of the Cathedrals, Collegiate Chapels, and Churches throughout the land.
Lively and illuminating presentation, with thanks to Prof. Dibble!
What a wonderful start to the day this was! Personal and musical insights contextually revealed interspersed with some of his glorious music. A past piano student of mine is currently in the choir - lucky boy! Thank you so much for this film, I only wish it was three times longer!
Wonderful, Jeremy, thank you so much!
Vivian Crawford-Jamaica: Thank you for sharing. I always remember his Te Deum in B flat.
Wonderfully interesting!
I can't help but comment - while no relation I'm aware of, I am a Charles (Thomas) Stanford. As a musician for many years in the US Episcopal Church my name garnered much attention to be sure! Very interesting film - thank you!
Brilliant and fascinating! Thank you very much.
I was in the choir up to the year the Prof joined - so we didn't quite overlap. In those days we were only 16 adult male voices. We had to ship in the lasses from Girton to do our Stanford-based services. Changed days now!
Thank you Jeremy for this informing and entertaining film
Thank you for highlighting this excellent composer. What a pity, though, that the music itself was reduced to snippets. The chamber music, the concertos, the symphonies are too rarely heard. Indeed, if anything can make the case for Stanford as a significant composer, it is the music. _Si monumentum requiris, audi!_
@ProfRonanMC all the music featured in this documentary can be enjoyed in full on our Hyperion Records album of Stanford's Choral Music (available on all major music services) and on our special CVS100 playlist here on UA-cam (link in the description to this video). Enjoy!
@@TrinityCollegeChoirI am indeed familiar with - and love - the Hyperion choral recordings. They are superb! And that organ - I love my little parish organ but sometimes I yearn for the grop that can be summoned to support a gloria! I've been a fan of Trinity College Choir for many years. I would have loved a whole coherent chunk of the music - I imagine that the nunc in A would be a wonderful musical accompaniment to a series of shots of the chapel.
May I wish you all many years of making wonderful music, and thank you for the pleasure and inspiration of your many recordings.
@@ProfRonanMC thank you!
Thank you for this fascinating documentary, so timely in that we just marked the centenary of Stanford’s death last Friday (Good Friday), 29 March, 2024.
Make sure to enjoy the rest of our centenary playlist!

I would not have liked to have been a choral scholar with CVH at the helm.
Correction CVS.
Howdid he treat his choristors?
Most of them have no understanding that the human voice is a biological instrument.
These people, no matter how brilliant and I have worked with, no for, them, they are bast*rds.
Fabulous documentary, thank you
