Frederick Corder

In August 1884, for a single month, he filled in for William Robinson as a musical director for the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company, touring Patience and Iolanthe.

His students included notable British composers such as Granville Bantock, Arnold Bax, York Bowen, Alan Bush, Eric Coates, Benjamin Dale, Harry Farjeon, Joseph Holbrooke and Montague Phillips, as well as his own son, Paul Corder.

He represented the conservative Brahms faction of English academia, whereas Corder followed the more progressive influence of Liszt and Wagner.

In particular, many of Corder's pupils showed the influence of the "clever primitivism and latent giganticism" of The Ring, but little of the eroticism of Tristan.

[15] History favours the legacy of Stanford, whose pupils included Vaughan Williams, John Ireland, Gustav Holst and Frank Bridge, while (arguably) Corder's one major talent was Bax.

The critic Peter J Pirie put in this way: Corder's methods were progressive but too easygoing, and all his pupils, even the devastatingly gifted Bax, suffered from it.

Joseph Williams, London, issued a vocal score of Margaret: The Blind Girl of Castel-Cuillé.
