Sir Hubert Parry was one of Britain's most creative and influential musicians, and a key architect of the English Musical Renaissance. This is a major reappraisal of Parry, both of his life and his vast legacy of compositions.

Dibble also charts Parry's development as a composer, and presents a detailed examination of his works illustrated with a number of musical examples.
