专辑简介
休伯特·帕里(Hubert Parry,1848 – 1918 年)被许多人(包括爱德华`埃尔加)誉为自普赛尔以来最优秀的英国作曲家和现代英国传统之父,他最著名的作品是赞美诗《耶路撒冷》(被妇女协会和英国板球支持者奉为不朽之作!)。他于 1902 年为爱德华七世的加冕礼创作的国歌《I was glad》也被乔治五世、伊丽莎白二世和查尔斯三世(查尔斯三世是帕里的忠实粉丝)的加冕礼所采用。从 1883 年到 1895 年,他一直在伦敦皇家音乐学院教授作曲,1895 年,他接替乔治-格罗夫爵士担任学院院长,直至去世。他的学生包括拉尔夫-沃恩-威廉姆斯(Ralph Vaughan Williams)、古斯塔夫-霍尔斯特(Gustav Holst)、弗兰克-布里奇(Frank Bridge)和约翰-爱尔兰(John Ireland)。帕里最初受到德国浪漫派音乐家门德尔松和舒曼的启发,很快成为勃拉姆斯和瓦格纳的忠实信徒,在他的大部分作品中都能听到他们的影响。不过,从他最早的作品中,可以清晰地听到他自己的声音。1880 年,他受委托为格洛斯特的三合唱节创作的《Scenes of Shelley’s Prometheus Unbound》中的场景就是这样一部早期作品。首演后反响不一,尽管在剑桥、牛津和伦敦等地多次重演,好评如潮,但这首作品却逐渐沉寂。弗农-汉德利(Vernon Handley)曾于 1980 年为 BBC 广播 3 台演出,以纪念首演一百周年。
