Synopsis

Product Description
Sir Hubert Parry composed some of the most masterful and moving choral music of the
Victorian and Edwardian eras. His magnificent coronation anthem for Edward VII, I was
glad, and his setting of Blake's mystical poem Jerusalem rightly remain famous, while his
Magnificat and Nunc dimittis display his debt to Anglican musical traditions. The Songs of
Farewell draw psalms and English poetry together into a charming garland, and Long since
in Egypt's plenteous land from his oratorio Judith sets the composer's own prayerful text.
