C. Hubert Parry: Jerusalem: SATB: 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. 

This well-known and loved song by British composer C.H.H. Parry was featured in the film Chariots of Fire and here receives a breathtaking adventuresome a cappella setting. Ideal for concert and contest. Available: SATB divisi a cappella. Performance Time: Approx. 2:25.

So clever and satisfying to bring in Parry's “Jerusalem” hymntune along with Holst's “Thaxted” from “The Planets” to carry the majestic text “I Lift Up Mine Eyes” from the Psalms.There is a regal excellence from start to finish. A superb traditional church choir anthem.
