Henry Purcell is perhaps England's finest and most influential composer, and his music for Queen Mary II's funeral in 1695 is regarded as amongst his best.
Parry was educated at Eton and Exeter College, Oxford. He became Professor of Music at Oxford and established himself as the leading English choral composer of his day. His Ode, on the patron saint of musicians and Church music was written in 1889.
