ILLUSTRATED ORGAN RECITAL BY DR ANTHONY GRITTEN, FRCO Friday 12 July, 7.30pm, Queens’ College Chapel, Cambridge This illustrated organ recital will span Stanford’s entire compositional life, from an early work of c.1875 through to his final works of the 1920s. At the centre of the recital is one of his large-scale masterpieces for organ, the Sonata no. 4 in C minor ‘Celtica’ op. 153, written at the end of the First World War. In addition to complete performances of these five pieces, the event will discuss aspects of Stanford’s compositional language, including his use of hymn tunes, the impact of his Irish heritage, the shape of his sonata thinking, and the influence of other composers on his music. The concert takes place at Queens’ College where Stanford was an organ scholar. Programme: Prelude and Fugue in C major op. 193/1 (1923) Prelude and Fugue in E minor (c.1875) Fantasia (In Festo Omnium Sanctorum) op. 121/1 (1911) Fantasia upon the hymn tune ‘Intercessor’ op. 187 (1922) Sonata no. 4 in C minor ‘Celtica’ op. 153 (1920)

LECTURE WITH JEREMY DIBBLE Saturday 13 July, 7.30pm, Queens’ College, Cambridge Charles 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.
