About

This album brings together major choral works by Hubert Parry and Edward Elgar, reflecting the richness of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century British music. At its centre is Parry’s De Profundis, a large-scale setting of Psalm 130, widely admired by contemporaries for its emotional depth, contrapuntal mastery and expressive journey from penitence to hope. Parry’s anthem God is Our Hope and Strength complements it with a grand, confident vision of choral architecture and spiritual assurance. Elgar is represented by the intimate partsong The Snow and the charming Scenes from the Bavarian Highlands, inspired by Alpine landscapes and folk traditions, capturing a more personal and lyrical side of his art.
