The Irish composer Chales Wood studied in his native Armagh and then in London under Stanford and Frank Bridge. He succeeded the former in 1924 as professor of music at Cambridge.
Vocal and Instrumental Music
Wood is probably chiefly remembered for his Anglican church music, but his earlier years had brought a number of choral works that found their place in various festivals. He also left half a dozen string quartets, part-songs, solo songs and a series of organ preludes.
