Abstract

This study is designed to explore the nature of Hubert Parry's musical style and focuses on four major areas of his output, those being chamber music, orchestral music, works for soloists, chorus and orchestra and songs. The first section discusses Parry's largely neglected contribution to instrumental music, primarily in terms of structure and tonality. The developments of Parry's formative years are assessed, taking into account his musical environment and e The second part is a study of the vocal works devoted primarily to analysis of selected pieces for soloists, chorus and orchestra. Matters of structure are again considered, together with Parry's attitude to the problems of word-setting, and an The final section is a study of other stylistic features such as melody, rhythm, and most notably the formation of an individual harmonic language. This study is supported with references to Parry's own articles, books and, most important of all, his own personal diaries and letters which have, upon fresh scrutiny, provided concrete evidence of works he studied and heard.
