Irish composer Charles Wood. He studied with Charles Villiers Stanford at the Royal College of Music in London, and he would himself become a Professor of Music there, where his pupils would include Ralph Vaughan Williams and Herbert Howells. Wood is chiefly remembered for his Anglican church music, but his earlier years brought a number of choral works. He also left half a dozen string quartets, part-songs, solo songs and a series of organ preludes.
