Richard Woodward Jr. was organist of Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin from 1775 to 1777, succeeding his father. A curious decorative setting of Veni Creator Spiritus by the obviously gifted Woodward, indicates talent that left a small but clear mark on the history of Irish church music.
The Canadian Psalter contains four and The Anglican Chant Psalter contains two of Woodward's chants.
