Add to my Calendar 15-06-2024 19:30 15-06-2024 21:30 36 Lambert's Rio Grande & Charles V Stanford I Thomas Tallis Society The Thomas Tallis Society, conducted by Eamonn Dougan, presents Constant Lambert’s Rio Grande and part songs and piano works of Charles V Stanford (1852-1924), on the centenary of his death. The programme also includes the English premiere of a Gloria by Philip Cooke. The choir will be joined by pianists Tyler Hay and Jack Redman. Charles Villiers Stanford had a profound influence on a whole generation of English composers, either as a composition teacher or as a presence in the musical community who could not be ignored. This influence extends today - anyone familiar with music for the Anglican liturgy will have encountered his canticle settings which remain a staple part of the repertoire of cathedrals throughout the country. While not actually his student, Constant Lambert was one of those to be influenced by Stanford, and Philip Cooke follows in his footsteps, writing numerous sacred choral works.
