SUMMARY:Stanford in Germany
DESCRIPTION:Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy: “Calm of the Sea and Happy Voyage”\, concert overture op. 27\nCharles Villiers Stanford: Concerto for Piano and Orchestra No. 2 in C minor op. 126 on the 100th anniversary of the composer’s death\nEdward Elgar: Variations on an Original Theme op. 36\, “Enigma Variations” \nAt the centre of the program is the piano concerto by Charles Villiers Stanford\, which was created in 1911 and is close to the sound world of Rachmaninoff. We are taking the centenary of his death as an opportunity to remember the important Irish composer. He was one of the leading British masters of the second half of the 19th century\, before the only slightly younger Edward Elgar overtook him: with the premiere of his “Enigma Variations” in 1899\, a new chapter in British music history was opened and her Author world famous. The concert begins with Felix Mendelssohn’s concert overture “Calm of the Sea and Happy Voyage”\, which Elgar quotes in the 13th variation of his work and which two Goethe poems served as a source of inspiration. \n(Four performances of Stanford Piano Concerto No.2 across this time period) \nPlease visit the website for more information.

SUMMARY:VOICES UNITE FOR A SPECIAL CELEBRATION
DESCRIPTION:VOICES UNITE FOR A SPECIAL CELEBRATION\nCome & Sing Stanford Evensong with Orchestra at Coventry Cathedral\nSaturday 28th September\nConducted by Nicholas Cleobury\nHosted by the Royal School of Church Music\n\nThroughout 2024\, the Royal School of Church Music (RSCM) is marking the centenary of the death of composer Charles Villiers Stanford with events featuring his celebrated choral music. On Saturday 28th September\, RSCM will be partnering with Coventry Cathedral to offer a special service of Choral Evensong\, where a very large choir assembled from across the region will be singing Stanford’s music accompanied not only by the cathedral’s magnificent pipe organ\, but also the full Warwickshire Symphony Orchestra.\n\nEvensong services happen in regularly in Coventry Cathedral throughout the week\, but to have a full orchestra playing with the singers is a really unusual occurrence. The director for the day\, international conductor Nicholas Cleobury\, says:\n“These works are so “orchestral” in concept\, with a variety of colours and textures; the sheer range and excitement of a large orchestra\, make such an event very special.”\n\nThe service is taking place on the weekend closest to the date of Stanford’s birthday (30th September 1852).\nThe event is open to all\, and the singing fee includes a souvenir copy of all the music.\nParticipation fee: Adult £15.00; under 18s £5.00. Booking deadline 24th September\nFurther information/booking: https://www.rscm.org.uk/events/come-and-sing-stanford-evensong-with-orchestra/\nEveryone is welcome to attend the actual service at 16.00; there is no admission charge for the service.

SUMMARY:Salisbury Singing Weekend
DESCRIPTION:The Salisbury Hymn Singing Society will be hosting a Salisbury Singing Weekend on 14-15 September 2024 which will include some of Stanford’s music and a talk given by Jeremy Dibble. \n\nWe have a date in the With Cheerful Voice calendar for this year :  Saturday 14th & Sunday 15th  September in Salisbury. Here is further information about the event. This is a weekend organised by Naomi and John King\, naomi4law@btinternet.com 0786 227 7071 whom some of you will know from their regular participation in With Cheerful Voice events. I\, Philip Price\, of Cheerful Voice am assisting with publicity and administration and will be taking part as a singer. \n\nIt is a weekend to celebrate the music of Charles Villiers Stanford\, and some of his High Victorian hymn-writing peers\, this year being the hundredth anniversary of his death. It is going to be led by Prof Jeremy Dibble\, emeritus of Durham University\, who is a leading expert on Stanford\, and the author of many books on British and Irish music of the 19th and 20th centuries\, and editions of Stanford’s music. On Saturday morning (14th) Jeremy Dibble will lead a workshop to prepare Stanford’s Mass in C. \n\nOn the Saturday afternoon Jeremy will give a talk about the Victorian hymns of the Oxford Movement\, which will involve singing a lot of them\, in full harmony. The Saturday afternoon ends with a private concert by Allan Schiller\, who had a stellar career as an international concert pianist and will play a programme of Mozart\, Bach\, Chopin and others. Then\, to complete this special day\, we retire to the White Hart in Salisbury for a black-tie dinner\, and an after-dinner speech by Allan. \n\nOn the Sunday\, we sing Stanford in C in the morning service in the Salisbury church of Sarum St Martin\, and that completes the programme\, with an optional Sunday lunch at the White Hart. For those who like Stanford and Victorian hymns this promises to be a most memorable weekend with a genuine expert\, and a great historical and musical experience. \n\nIf you are interested and require accommodation you may choose to make a reservation at The White Hart\, a four star traditional Salisbury coaching Inn and where the Saturday evening dinner will be held. They have kindly agreed to hold a number of rooms until Monday 1st July at a discounted rate. To secure this special rate\, contact the Function Manager at sarah.archer@accor.com or 01722 327476 option 2.  As always\, any arrangements should be cancellable\, just in case minimum numbers are not achieved and the event has to be postponed. The White Hart is in the centre of the city\, only five minutes’ walk from the cathedral\, and seven minutes’ walk from Sarum St Martin. Salisbury is a popular destination so it will be advisable to make accommodation arrangements early. \n\nThe ticket price will be £149 fully inclusive of tea\, coffee\, a light lunch on Saturday\, a champagne reception and four course dinner on the Saturday evening\, the piano recital by Allan Schiller\, and all music. Sunday lunch\, if taken\, is £25 for two courses of a traditional Sunday lunch. Details should be finalised soon and bookings open in July. If you would like to put your name down early\, please email me at phil@withcheerfulvoice.org.uk.  For the early arrivals\, there will be a three course buffet dinner available on the Friday evening (£28) at the White Hart\, followed by informal entertainment. \n\nPlease find the event poster HERE.

DESCRIPTION:Bridge Three Idylls 12′\nStanford Quartet No 5 in B flat 32′\nJudith Weir String Quartet 13′\nElgar String Quartet in E minor 30′ \nThe Sussex woodlands which inspired Elgar shine through in his quartet\, the ‘captured sunshine’ of the middle movement being much loved by his wife; Elgar chose it to be played at her funeral. Bright summer days and dark winter evenings are captured masterfully by Bridge in his evocative Three Idylls\, and Stanford pens a moving musical tribute to his friend Joseph Joachim in his Quartet No 5. Judith Weir’s lyrical String Quartet\, based on song fragments\, is also brought to life in this exquisite programme by the award-winning Dante Quartet.

His students were some of the twentieth century’s most successful British composers\, including Gustav Holst and Ralph Vaughan Williams. Professor Jeremy Dibble will discuss Stanford’s approach to teaching and why he believes that it was so successful.

SUMMARY:Stabat Mater
DESCRIPTION:Step into a magical world in Grace-Evangeline Mason’s The Imagined Forest\, an enchanting musical picture of a wild woodland filled with colour\, light and beauty. The mystical tones continue in Holst’s glorious The Hymn of Jesus\, a call to join the joyful divine dance and a unique response to the suffering of the First World War. The concert’s second half features some of Charles Villiers Stanford’s finest and most compelling music in the Stabat Mater. A vivid musical depiction of the Passion and the sorrows of Mary\, the intensity and drama of the opening subsides into ethereal beauty at the close\, telling of the hope of redemption and life in paradise. \nhttps://3choirs.org/events/stanford-stabat-mater

SUMMARY:Lecture with Jeremy Dibble
DESCRIPTION:LECTURE WITH JEREMY DIBBLE\nSaturday 13 July\, 7.30pm\, Queens’ College\, Cambridge\nCharles Villiers Stanford is justifiably renowned for his brilliantly original church music\, but he is perhaps less well known for the extraordinary range of other work he composed across his highly creative life. This lecture will explore some of that repertoire\, including extracts from his operas\, symphonies\, choral works\, songs and partsongs\, to offer a fresh appreciation of his unrivalled composition for the Anglican liturgy.\nFull details of both events can be found at  rscmshop.com/features/stanford-singing-break
