Saturday Stanford #3 - Jerry Martin: Influences & Heritage
· 21.04.2024 · 08:32:26 ··· ··· Sunday ·· 7 (0)
Jerry Martin Let's take a brief look at some of the melodies and harmonies that influenced Stanford: tunes from Ireland, and a brief trip to Leipzig! This year I am learning the organ works and remembering the centenary of Sir Charles Villiers Stanford (1852-1924) - Born in Dublin, Ireland his music is heavily influenced by his native home - meanwhile he became a most influential figure in English music. Axel Klein comments that he is sometimes considered "Too Irish for the English, too English for the Irish and too German for both, he fell between all stools, where only a new appreciation in a more multicultural environment will help his position" - I think the time is ripe for us to appreciate his amazing compositions, and in this monthly series I will share my ongoing explorations of these (and related!) works.
I am looking forward to discussion in the chat and comments - let's see what we can learn from each other!
