Abstract

Irish born composer Charles Villiers Stanford (1852–1924) is a central figure in the British Musical Renaissance. Often considered only in the context of his work in England, with occasional references to his Irish birthplace, the reception of Stanford’s music in America provides fresh perspectives on the composer and his music.
