The brief entry devoted to Parry in Baker's Concise Dictionary of Musicians concentrates solely on the social impact of Parry as an academic colleague of Sir Charles Villiers Stanford and a teacher of the likes of Ralph Vaughan Williams.

Though Parry may not be of quite the same stature as Schumann or other giants of the Romantic age, he is among the most ingenious and endearing of the late Romantic composers, with a remarkable talent for compositions that are at once beautiful and powerful in their emotional content, and expertly wrought in their structure.

Born in Bournemouth, Hampshire, and brought up at Highnam Court, Gloucestershire, he was the second son of Thomas Gambier Parry, of Highnam Court, Gloucester - an amateur artist, and He was educated at Malvern, Twyford, near Winchester, Eton (from 1861), and Exeter College, Oxford.
These, like a symphony in G given at the Birmingham Festival of 1882, seemed strange even to educated hearers, who were confused by the intricacy of treatment.
He resigned his Oxford appointment on doctor's advice in 1908 and in the last decade of his life produced some of his finest works, including the Symphonic Fantasia '1912' (also called Symphony No. 5), the Ode on the Nativity (1912), Jerusalem (1916) and the Songs of Farewell (19161918).

Commentary: Charles Portis' comic skill has been characterized in many ways, which can be loosely amalgamated into the idea that Portis delivers to us obsessive, often humorless eccentrics that produce unself-conscious monologues over the course of fruitless quests, all in a deadpan tone that doesn't give so much as a wink to the reader.
