By Charles Hubert H. Parry
A majestic and triumphant setting of Psalm 122, Parry’s I Was Glad stands as one of the great masterpieces of British choral literature. First composed for the coronation of King Edward VII in 1902 and famously performed at royal ceremonies ever since (including the coronations of Queen Elizabeth II and King Charles III) this anthem exudes grandeur, reverence, and regal splendor. From its dramatic opening fanfare to its lush harmonies and soaring vocal lines, Parry’s setting captures the awe and joy of entering into the house of the Lord. Perfect for special worship occasions, festivals, or concert settings, this work offers a stirring musical experience for choir and congregation alike.
