Where it came from
Released in 2020 by the Hyperion label, this recording showcases a collection of late 19th and early 20th-century British choral music, centered on Hubert Parry's seminal set of motets, Songs of Farewell. These works were composed during the final years of the First World War, reflecting the composer's profound introspection and his desire to reconcile the somber reality of global conflict with the comfort of traditional sacred texts.
The performance is led by James O'Donnell, then the Organist and Master of the Choristers at Westminster Abbey, conducting the Abbey Choir. The production is notable for its acoustic clarity, intended to highlight the liturgical context of the music. The inclusion of works by Stanford, Gray, and Wood serves to frame Parry’s masterwork within the broader tradition of the Anglican choral revival, emphasizing the harmonic sophistication and emotional depth characteristic of the period's composition style.
