I Was Glad: The music of Sir Hubert Parry
Choir of the Winchester Cathedral & Canterbury Cathedral Choir

[ Decca / CD ]

Release Date: Monday 25 April 2011

No-one better captures the regal stature and sense of occasion than Hubert Parry, whose immortal anthem 'I was Glad', has featured in Coronations, Royal Weddings, Jubilees and other grand ceremonial occasions since the Coronation of Edward VII in 1902, for which it was written. His hymn 'Jerusalem' of 1916 has become a revered mainstay of English public life.

This collection features many of his other anthems, including the beautiful Blest Pair of Sirens. The performance on this collection is especially rousing and features the fully-scored version for orchestra and choir.

There be none of beauty's daughters
And yet I love her till I die (anonymous) English Lyrics Set VI No. 2
From a city window
Thine eyes still shine for me

No longer mourn for me
There
