The Irish partsongs of Charles Villiers Stanford

Charles Villiers Stanford was a major force in bringing the music of the British Isles to the table of nationalism that had increasingly influenced the course of music in Europe throughout the nineteenth century. Born and raised in Dublin, Ireland, he would migrate permanently to England, where he would become professor of music at the University of Cambridge and a teacher, conductor, and composer of high renown. His vast compositional output included symphonies, operas, concertos, church music, songs, piano/vocal arrangements of Irish folk music and over 60 SATB partsongs. Among the latter are the 14 Irish partsongs that are the focus of this study.
