The Songs of Sir John Andrew Stevenson

Sir John Andrew Stevenson is well renowned for his symphonies and accompaniments to Thomas Moore’s Irish Melodies, his glees and cathedral works. This thesis focuses on the songs of Sir John Andrew Stevenson and includes a catalogue of his works which amounts to more than three hundred individual pieces containing the majority of his output. Very little has been written about these songs so investigating this repertoire relies heavily on information provided in the catalogues. The aim of this thesis is to draw attention to Stevenson’s songs and to provide a reliable and informative listing of these songs.
