Format : Vocal Score
Blest Pair Of Sirens is one of Hubert Parry's best-known works. An ode by John Milton Parry's setting is for SSAATTBB Chorus and Orchestra. This item is the Vocal Score. The words of one of the greatest poets in the English language are taken here and set by undoubtedly one of the more influential composers in English orchestral and choral music. Blest Pair Of Sirens was commissioned by Charles Villiers Stanford who bestowed upon Hubert Parry the claim of being the greatest English composer since Purcell. Milton's 'At A Solemn Musik'provides the source for this wonderful work of Choral composition whose lush harmonies and sweet melody lulls the listener into a calmness and serenity. C. Hubert Parry is perhaps most familiar to millions as the composer of the great English hymn 'Jerusalem' but the brilliance of this song is similarly represented across his other works. Any audience is sure to be hugely impressed with a performance of a beautiful Choral piece such as this. Our Blest Pair Of Sirens sheet music will ensure that every note in this sublime work is as perfect as possible.

A key figure in the so-called English Musical Renaissance, Parry was a considerable composer of chamber music. His three violin sonatas, the first of which, in d minor, is here published for the first time, along with the Fantasie-sonata and Sonata in D major, date from the 1870s and 80s, and are contemporary with his four symphonies and setting of Milton's Blest Pair of Sirens. They are fine additions to the string repertoire and will be greeted enthusiastically by violinists seeking new material for recitals. Performing editions of each sonata are available separately.
