ELIZABETH STIRLING

<Elizabeth Stirling (1819–1895) was born in Greenwich, London, England, and studied music at the Royal Academy of Music with Edward Homes, W.B. Wilson, J.A. Hamilton and Sir George Macfarren. In 1837 she performed a recital at St. Katherine’s Church, Regent’s Park, receiving a review by The Musical World. In 1839 she took a position as organist at All Saints’ Poplar Church. 1853, she passed the examination for the degree of Mus. Bac. at Oxford but did not receive the degree, for the University had never before conferred the degree upon a woman. She is considered one of the finest of the English organists and published many organ works and over fifty part-songs. Her part-song All Among the Barley won a prize offered by Novello & Co. in 1849 and was one of the most popular English part-songs at that time.

 

All are SATB and unaccompanied unless noted in VOICING column. A noting of “div” indicates some divisi within a part or parts, but usually not a true independent part throughout the work. Solos and accompaniment are also noted.
