The Irish composer, Charles Wood (18661926) who wrote the cantata "Eden Spirits," is better known as the man who set to music Walt Whitman’s poem " Ethiopia Saluting the Colours." Besides writing a great quantity of music he was famous for many years as a teacher. He taught some of our leading present-day composers, including Vaughan Williams, and in 1924 he succeeded Stanford as Professor of Music at Cambridge University. He had held the post only two years when he died. Like Stanford he was an Irishman who settled in England and collected and edited a great many beautiful Irish tunes. While at Cambridge University he took a keen interest in the lighter side of University life as well as in its serious work, and was bandmaster to the Cambridge University Volunteers.
