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.
This survey of European composers from Palestrina to Wagner was
intended for the interested amateur, and begins with a rapid and
somewhat dismissive survey of European music up to the Renaissance:
each composer subsequently discussed is placed in the context of
his time, and in a vigorously expressed conclusion, Parry argues
for an aesthetic which recognises that some composers are great,
others second-rate and yet others downright bad, and that it is
essential that the listening public is able to make this
distinction.
