Jerry Martin This month we celebrate St. Patrick's Day, and I am joined by my special guest Dr. Stanley Workman Jr: join us as we explore music and song written by Stanford. 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!
