These studies highlight the most important aspects of Sir Hubert Parry's life and his creative work, and include a complete assessment of his output for orchestra and for chorus and orchestra. Much unpublished material is used to portray the characters of Parry and Lady Maude Herbert. The second half of the book presents a survey of Parry's work as a leading musical historian, with extended excerpts from his major published books.
