Parry, Sir Hubert (1848–1918). Together with Charles Stanford, whose music he detested, Parry inspired what is called the ‘English musical renaissance’ of the later 19th cent. He produced some fine second‐rank works, of which his Fourth Symphony, Piano Quartet, and shorter choral settings are perhaps the best. He is best known for the tune he wrote for
Blake's ‘Jerusalem’, which was first performed at a patriotic concert in 1916. He succeeded Sir George Grove as director of the Royal College of Music in 1895.
