		Sir Charles Hubert Hastings Parry, 1st Baronet (February 27, 1848 – October 7, 1918) was an English composer, probably best known for his setting of William Blake's poem, Jerusalem, the coronation anthem I was glad and the hymn tune Repton, which sets the words Dear Lord and Father of Mankind.
		Parry scored a greater contemporary success, however, with the ode Blest Pair of Sirens (1887) which established him as the leading English choral composer of his day.
		Parry joined the staff of the Royal College of Music in 1884 and was appointed its director in 1894, a post he held until his death.

	BBC - h2g2 - Hubert Parry:English composer
		Sir Charles Hubert Hastings Parry[1848-1918] was one of the foremost British composers of the late Victorian/Edwardian era.
		Parry's reputation continued to grow; not only as a composer, but also as a teacher, historian, performer and writer.
		In Parry's hands, this combination of influences produces a music which is reminiscent of Elgar's whilst retaining an utterly distinctive character all its own.

		His own full development as a composer was almost certainly hampered by the immense amount of work he took on, but his energy and charisma, not to mention his abilities as a teacher and administrator, helped establish art music at the centre of English cultural life.

	Classical Net - Composers - Parry
		Parry was a Romantic composer who managed to balance an affinity for both Brahms and Wagner in a time when there were few composers or other cognoscenti willing to admit being influenced by both.
		Parry's exposure to this environment was as a consequence instrumental in charting a course for his own musical interests.
		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.

		An English composer and teacher of relative insignificance in the former capacity, Hubert Parry exercised a strong influence over the music of his time in England, occupying positions both at Oxford and at the newly established Royal College of Music.
		In 1880 Dannreuther played Parry’s Piano Concerto in F sharp major, a choice of key that did not endear him to the orchestra, at the Crystal Palace and success here was followed by a cantata based on Shelley’s Prometheus Unbound for the Gloucester Festival, where it was performed in 1882.
		Parry's setting of Milton's Blest Pair of Sirens remains a staple item in amateur choral repertoire in England, while part-songs and solo songs also retain an occasional and deserved place in vocal repertoire.

		The main body of the movement is dominated by a characteristic melody that speaks of lofty dignity (it might as well have been marked ‘nobilmente’).
		There is a Brahmsian influence at work in this single-movement work (the variations may be subdivided into five sections but run together as one — Parry used the word ‘Symphonic’ in the title to emphasise the high degree of continuity).
		It is, in fact, amazing just how large Parry’s canvas seems when one considers the total duration is only just under thirteen minutes.

	THE CHIVALRY OF THE SEA SIR HUBERT PARRY (1848-1918)
		Parry's music was completed somewhat later and perilously close to the concert, which was also to include Stanford's Songs of the Fleet and Vaughan Williams' Sea Symphony, the second of which we also perform tonight.
		Parry himself foresaw one reason for this: audiences at the end of 1916, shocked by the appalling losses of the war, wanted rousing patriotism from their music, not grieving and desolation.
		But Parry, greatly opposed to jingoism and devastated by the death in France of many of his best Royal College of Music students, had little stomach for this.

	Hubert Parry: English Composer
		Sir Charles Hubert Parry (1848-1918), an English composer in company with the likes of Henry Purcell and William Byrd (his predecessors) and Edward Elgar and Ralph Vaughn Williams (his successors), was not one of those child prodigies who was born writing music.
		Parry, his wife, or the pair together appreciated George Eliot immensely, because the couple named their two daughters, Dorothea and Gwendolyn, after characters in her novels.
		Though Parry has both composed and written several texts on music, his setting of William Blake’s poem Jerusalem (found in both the soundtrack and title of Chariots of Fire) is perhaps the most memorable legacy he has left.

	The Musical Times: Charles Hubert Hastings Parry 1848-1918
		Parry, then, became a veritable centre of argument, a fact of which it is reasonable to suppose he himself was completely ignorant.
		Between Parry and the mass of the musical profession there was a huge gap, and he stood miles away from, and outside of, the musical – commercial questions that interested them.
		Parry was half – paralysed from the beginning of his directorate by its multifarious duties, and that half – ruined his opportunity for being of greatest significance to British music.

		C H H Parry remains sadly neglected overshadowed perhaps by better-known contemporaries and successors such as Elgar and Vaughan-Williams.
		Dibble's style is very readable and creates a picture of a lovable and kindly man beloved of his students and respected for his integrity by his colleagues and contemporaries.
		Both the joys and the trials of Parry's life are related: not only does the work educate it is also in places very moving.br />br />As one who has a great fondness for the music of Parry I found that the book further enhanced my listening pleasure.

	Hubert Parry
		Hubert Parry (1848-1918) is one of those many 19th Century composers, like Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov or Alexander Borodin, who started out in an entirely different business and only later devoted their full time to music.
		Parry composed an extensive (mainly vocal) oeuvre and wrote many an article for the Grove’s Dictionary of Music and Musicians.
		Parry had a prominent social background and lived the life of an English gentleman, sailing off the Channel Islands in his spare time and being one of the first persons in England who got a ticket for speeding.

		The music to Blake’s words was composed in 1916 by Sir Hubert Parry, specifically for a meeting of the “Fight for the Right” women’s suffrage movement being held at Queen’s Hall in London that year.
		Its association with the women's movement led to it being adopted as a hymn at the annual general meeting of the National Association of Women's Institutes in 1924.

	Charles Hubert Hastings Parry - ChoralWiki
		Sir Charles Hubert Hastings Parry (February 27, 1848 – October 7, 1918) was an English composer, probably best known for his setting of William Blake's poem, Jerusalem.
		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.

	In Tune with Heaven - The Girls and Men of Norwich Cathedral Choir
		In the first, My soul there is a country, Parry’s concern with ‘just and noble accent’ is paramount; whilst this setting of Vaughan’s text is the most sectional motet of the set, the congruence of poetry and music is such that this never detracts from the overall sense.
		As in all of the songs, Parry has complete command of the expressive potential of the choir using melody, harmony and tessitura to profound effect.
		Stanford, whose career followed a similar trajectory to Parry’s, is now regarded primarily as a brilliant teacher with a role-call of pupils including Vaughan Williams, Holst, Ireland, Bridge, Howells, Moeran and Lambert, and as a composer who reinvigorated the moribund cathedral tradition.

	Sir Hubert Parry
		The day must surely come when every unnatural violation of the verbal and musical compact in a song (still more in a chorus) will seem as obviously laughable as Tolhurst's "Ruth" was to Wesley (who, we are told, took that work down from his shelf whenever he felt unwell and in need of a tonic).
		Students will know how true a judgment this is. It explains the twenty odd versions of the Emperor slow-movement, and the utter transformation of a commonplace fragment in A flat into the close consecutive melodic thought and feeling in the first eight bars of the slow-movement of the Fifth Symphony.
		He was telling of all the splendid things the men did for each other, with much the same admiration that Sir Hubert had for ordinary men.
