The Harvard-Radcliffe Chorus, a college, university and community chorus presents A Parry Premiere: Invocation to Music, and a Variety of Tidbits.

It will be the U.S. premiere performance of C. Hubert H. Parry’s 'Invocation to Music: In Honour of Henry Purcell,’ ... 'a cantata of melodic grandeur.'

We will also perform 'Blest Pair of Sirens,' a favorite of the British Royal Family - sure to be played at the upcoming wedding, and 'Jerusalem,' Britain's unofficial national anthem – a hint, if you are either a fan of British cricket, rugby or football teams, or of the movie ‘Chariots of Fire,’ you’ve already heard it!

A late addition is the hymn, 'Repton.' While unfamiliar to American music lovers, Parry was one of the leaders of the British choral music renaissance and influenced generations of British composers: Elgar and Vaughan Williams, among others.

Come and enjoy an evening of rich, dynamic music that will inspire you, raise your spirits and fill your heart with thoughts of spring.
