Blest Pair of Sirens

Experience Classical

Available for over a year

With Blest Pair of Sirens, Parry achieved a fusion between the English choral tradition of Wesley and Stainer and the Germanic orchestral diligence of Wagner and Brahms. Written to celebrate the golden jubilee of Queen Victoria, it perfectly encapsulates the grandeur and ceremony of the late Victorian era.
