Hubert Parry

Hubert Parry was a prominent British composer and musicologist of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He is best known for his contributions to English classical music, including the patriotic hymn "Jerusalem" and the orchestral work " Symphony No. 1." Parry played a key role in the development of the modern British choral tradition and was instrumental in establishing the Royal College of Music. His work often combined traditional music elements with innovative ideas, helping to shape a distinctively English musical identity during his time.
