Convivium Records proudly present the sacred choral music of Charles Villiers Stanford, recorded by Winchester College Chapel Choir, with the new Dobson organ in Merton College Chapel, Oxford. This delightful collection includes some of Stanford’s best-known choral music alongside a number of works that are rarely performed and recorded.
Generously supported by the Stanford Society, the booklet programme notes have been compiled by Professor Jeremy Dibble, a leading authority on the composer’s music. The booklet cover portrait was specially commissioned for this release. Also included in the booklet are a number of images of Stanford’s manuscripts, kindly reproduced with permission from the Royal School of Church Music.
Born into an upper-middle-class family in Dublin in 1852, Charles Villiers Stanford received the core of his musical education in the organ lofts of the Irish capital’s two cathedrals of Christ Church and St Patrick’s. An organ scholarship to Queen’s College, Cambridge in 1870 enabled him to spread his wings, and migration to Trinity College, Cambridge in 1873 allowed even greater scope with its choir school and expanding choir of boys and men. Church music was therefore in Stanford’s blood from a tender age and it was one of many idioms in which he shone as a composer. Perhaps more importantly, Stanford’s cosmopolitan outlook allowed him to develop and experiment with traditional Anglican forms. Through the agencies of symphonic treatment and modern instrumental forms, the canticle, anthem, hymn and psalm were transformed in his hands while remaining (and therein lies the miracle) within the parameters of time restriction imposed by the liturgy. Even more astounding is the sheer range, quality and originality he was able to bring to these works throughout his career, well after he gave up employment as a church musician in 1892.
Winchester College Quiristers (trebles) have for over 625 years sung services in Winchester College Chapel. In modern times they have formed a choir (Winchester College Chapel Choir) renowned for its excellence, under the masterful direction of Malcolm Archer. In addition to singing four services each week in the College Chapel, the Quiristers regularly broadcast and record. In recent years the Chapel Choir has sung in the USA, Canada, Germany, the Czech Republic, Hong Kong, Italy, France, Holland and Russia. They perform a fascinating mix of both sacred and secular repertoire and regularly sing in London, where performances have included the BBC Promenade Concerts. They also frequently appear on TV and Radio. On three occasions since the Millennium, Quiristers have won the title of BBC Young Chorister of the Year, by any standards an outstanding record.
