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.

"Choir, director and organist have clearly enjoyed themselves... a very high standard throughout. The Manchester Cathedral organ comes over well throughout. Highly recommended."
The Organ on a previous release

"The choir sings with an unusually expressive tonal vocabulary as well as with dynamic variation which makes it distinctive from other choirs... The whole thing is very refreshing."
Cathedral Music on a previous release
