There is an article by Robert Anderson on Stanford, Bax and (George or Jonathan - presumably George?) Lloyd which at least mentions the 6th symphony in volume 130, February 1989, p 94 the Musical Times. Will log into my university staff account and read it (Jstor scanned it in, accessible using library acct) later, see if it contains any information on the symphony, the composer, helpful to any of the three composers' articles.

I added a sentence to the article (hopefully not disrupting the flow of the Britannica text) about the popularity of Beati Quorum Via in school choirs. My Glee Club is singing it right now, but we seem to be the only choir in the country that remembers the other two motets that go with it. Maybe they're not as good as Beati, but I like them performed as a set. -- The Realms of Gold ( talk) 19:14, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
That's definitely fair. The sentence could be rewritten to say it's exemplary of the late English Romantic choral style. I gather that, while Elgar et. al. are much more wide-ranging across all genres, as far as sacred motets go, Stanford is pretty standard for the nation and for the time. But the English Romantics aren't my strong point, so anyone is free to revise as they see fit. -- The Realms of Gold ( talk) 08:05, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
There are at least three books of short organ preludes missing from the works list, including Op. 101 and 105. -- JTL 23:14, 24 January 2008 (EST) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.233.20.97 ( talk)
BBC Radio 3 seems to pronounce his second name as "Villers" quite consistently, as though they know something everyone else does not. Is that right? has anyone seen his birth certificate? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.30.56.43 ( talk) 21:22, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
Many English surnames, and English place names have anomalous pronunciations, which are unknown to outsiders. Villiers is pronounced /Villars/. The BBC have a guide to the correct pronunciation of proper names, that would be the source, though I can testify that members of the Villiers family do pronounce it with two syllables. The words 'medicine' and 'venison' are also bisyllabic in the Received Pronunciation of English. Llawdden ( talk) 18:37, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
I don't mean to offend anyone, but the recording of 'The Blue Bird' is a particularly ugly recording. Is it possible to get a better one ? All very subjective, I know ! - Tpacw ( talk) 11:06, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
Ah, right. Apologies - I didn't know how the system worked for sound recordings on wikipedia. Thanks for enlightening me. - Tpacw ( talk) 14:56, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

There is a list of Stanford's pupils in a paragraph in the article proper, followed by a list of pupils in a note, followed by a link to a list of his pupils. How many lists do we need? Hyacinth ( talk) 23:06, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

The "Works" section, which seems to be based on a somewhat old overview, does little justice to "The Blue Bird". I hear it on various classical music stations all the time, with various recordings, mostly excellent performances (I personally prefer Rutter's, but that's probably because of his association with the annual outdoor performance by Cambridge University's choral society). I'd love to assert this popularity, but I hope someone else can find actual verifiable sources. Also, the song deserves its own page: it has recently been called " perhaps the ideal impressionistic musical realization of a bird in flight and the shimmering effects of light on water, and I'll put that on my to-do list.
