C. Hubert H. Parry (1848 1918), knighted in 1902 for his services
to music, was a distinguished composer, conductor and musicologist.
In the first of these roles he is best known for his settings of
Blake's 'Jerusalem' and the coronation anthem 'I was glad'. He was
an enthusiastic teacher and proselytiser of music, believing
strongly in its ability to widen and deepen the experience of Man.
In this book published in 1893 (and later revised as The Evolution
of the Art of Music, also reissued in this series), Parry examines
the universal impulse to create musical sounds, traces the origins
of music in 'primitive' societies using the research of
contemporary anthropologists, and surveys the rise of western music
from the ancient Greeks to the Victorian age.
