For many years, and still for many people, Stanford’s name was synonymous with music for the Anglican Church. In this role, he expressed an easy, trusting, but not smug or complacent, relationship with the Christian faith. The natural assumption is that Stanford the man held such a faith. Yet the truth is that we know nothing of his beliefs beyond what we may infer from the music. In the previous CD in this series, Stanford, in the Triumph of Love cycle, entered perfectly into the spirit of his friend Edmond Holmes’s belief in reincarnation while, in Die Wallfarht nach Kevlaar, he set Heine’s reworking of a Catholic Marian legend with total empathy. On a larger scale, we must note four Mass settings (two lost), a Requiem and a Stabat Mater. “Songs of Faith” is very far from a concert room equivalent to the well-known Bible Songs with organ accompaniment. Published as two mini-cycles, the first has texts by his friend Tennyson, for whom “There is more faith in honest doubt … than in all the creeds”, the second draws upon Walt Whitman. Stanford had already raised eyebrows back in 1884 with his Elegiac Ode, a cantata setting of Whitman’s lines “Come, lovely and soothing death” from his Elegy to Abraham Lincoln. Whitman’s belief in an afterlife was more complex than Holmes’s vaguely Buddhist creed, and Stanford seems once again perfectly at his ease.
According to the date in the published score, the cycle was completed in September 1906, but the Hudson catalogue shows the songs were written between May and December of that year, and not in the printed order. They were not published until 1908, but already in 1906 an SATB version of “God and the Universe” was issued without opus number. The general assumption has been that this was an arrangement of the voice and piano song, but the publication chronology and certain internal features of the writing suggest that it may have been the first version and that the cycle therefore grew from this seed – it was in fact the first to be completed in its solo song form, on 27 May 1906. In either medium, it achieved a rare sense of spiritual longing, giving way to mystic power.
