Full biography Hubert Parry
Hubert Parry, full name Sir Charles Hubert Hastings Parry , 1st Baronet, was an English composer, writer, and teacher who was born on February 27, 1848, and died on October 7, 1918. Parry was a significant figure in the revival of English music at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. He is widely regarded as one of England's most eminent composers.
Parry's compositions include orchestral , choral, and chamber music, as well as songs and hymns. Among his most well-known works are his choral setting of William Blake's "Jerusalem" and his coronation anthem "I Was Glad." He also wrote an oratorio titled "O Lord, Thou Hast Cast Us Out."
As a teacher , Parry held positions at the Royal College of Music and Oxford University, among others. He was knighted in 1898 and was later made a baronet in 1902. In addition to his contributions to English music, Parry was also a noted historian of music, writing extensively on the subject.
Parry's music was highly influential, not only in England but also internationally. His works influenced other English composers such as Edward Elgar and Ralph Vaughan Williams. Parry's legacy continues to be celebrated today, with performances of his music regularly appearing on concert programs and recordings.
