Biography

Jeremy Dibble studied music at Trinity College, Cambridge (with Philip Radcliffe, Richard Marlow, Peter le Huray and Robin Holloway) and at Southampton University (with Peter Evans). Before he was appointed as a lecturer at Durham in 1993, he was a lecturer in music at University College, Cork. He teaches courses in harmony and counterpoint, musicianship, nineteenth- and twentieth-century music, and includes special topics in nineteenth- and early twentieth-century English song, Brahms, Britten's Chamber Operas and (at MA level) English church music. In 2010 the Royal School of Church Music awarded him a Fellowship (FRSCM) for services to church music and, in 2013, he was awarded a Fellowship (FGCM) by the Guild of Church Musicians. He is also a founder and President of The Stanford Society, and Vice-President of the Association of English Singers and Speakers and the Delius Society.

Jeremy Dibble’s research specialisms lie in British and Irish music of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, an area which includes not only composer studies, but also musical criticism and aesthetics, church music, hymnology, song, light music, opera and instrumental music. He is best known for his monographs (see below) and for his edition of Parry’s Violin Sonatas for Musica Britannica (Vol. LXXX, 2003). He has also edited, with Bennett Zon, Volume 2 of Ashgate’s Nineteenth-Century British Music Studies (2002), and is musical editor of the Canterbury Dictionary of Hymnology (with Dick Watson), launched in 2013; he has also contributed numerous essays to books (see below) He has contributed many articles on British composers to the New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, the New Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, the Irish Dictionary of National Biography, the Encyclopaedia of Music in Ireland, the Revised Oxford Companion to Music, the new edition of Musik in Geschichte und Gegenwart, Thoemmes’ Dictionary of Nineteenth-Century British Philosophers and Grolier’s Encyclopaedia of the Victorian Era.He has also completed numerous editions for the RSCM Press, Peters Edition and OUP.

In 2011 he participated in the national symposium to mark the 150th anniversary of Hymns Ancient & Modern, and his paper formed part of subsequent publication Hymns Ancient & Modern and Henry Williams Baker: A Herefordshire Vicar and His Hymn Book (2012).

In 2012 he contributed two papers to international conferences in Paris and London on Frederick Delius and is now completing a study of Delius's musical style. Further studies in the pipeline are the music of William Alwyn, a monograph on Elgar (for Reaktion) and a study of the works of Patrick Hadley. He has also edited (in collaboration with Julian Horton) a volume of essays on British Musical Criticism and Intellectual Thought 1850-1950 for Boydell (2018). 

Professor Dibble has for many years worked closely with commercial recording labels such as Hyperion, Chandos, Dutton, Signum, Regent, Herald, EMI and SOMM, and has done much to promulgate the results of his research with leading performers and orchestras. This has involved historical commentary, orchestrations, and the production of performing materials from primary and rare secondary sources. This work as included an edition of Stanford's Piano Quartet No. 2 Op. 133 with the Gould Trio for Naxos, editions of Harty's Piano Quintet Op. 12 and two string quartets Opp. 1 and 5 for Hyperion, and editions of Parry's Magnificat, Coronation Te Deum and 'England' for Chandos and the BBC National Orchestra and Chorus of Wales. He has also made orchestrations of extracts of Parry's unpublished opera Guenever and Ivor Gurney's song cycle Lights Out for the BBC Concert Orchestra with the Dutton label. In March 2012 his orchestration of Stanford's Violin Concerto No. 2 in G minor was premiered by the Durham University Orchestral Society in Durham Cathedral. In May 2014 his edition of Stanford's unperformed Song of the Soul was premiered by the RTE Symphony Orchestra and Chorus in Dublin's National Concert Hall and has now been recorded on the Naxos lable with the London Bach Choir under David Hill.

In 2018 he has been heavily involved in the centenary commemoration of the death of Sir Hubert Parry. This has included two concerts of Parry's music in Durham Cathedral in February and March 2018, the first in the presence of HRH the Prince of Wales. he has also given talks at the Barbican Centre, the Three Choirs Festival in Gloucester, the Cheltenham Festival, the Charles Wood Festival in Armagh, the Oxford Lieder Festival, the Guild of Church Musicians and the RSCM. His edition of the original version of Parry's verse anthem 'Hear my words, ye people' was performed at the Proms on 27 July 2018. 

Recent projects have included a major recording project with SOMM Recordings, the Stanford Society and Durham University of the complete string quartets and quintets of Charles Villiers Stanford, recordings of Parry’s Judith and the cantata Scenes from Prometheus Unbound with Chandos.  In October 2018 the BBC National Orchestra of Wales and Chorus performed his edition of Stanford Mass 'Via Victrix 1914-1918' in a world premiere in Cardiff under Adrian Partington. He delieverd talks on Stanford's last opera The Travelling Companion as part of North Sussex Opera's tour of the work in November and December 2018 (https://www.newsussexopera.org/) as part of his role as President of the Stanford Society. He also produced performing editions of Stanford's operas The Veiled Prophet of Khorassan and The Critic for performance at the Wexford International Opera.

His most recent recording projects have included the recording of the complete string quartets of Charles Wood for SOMM, Stanford’s orchestral songs for Resonus and Stanford’s Violin Concerto No. 2 for Chandos.
