Music Man.

It's the Proms season again, so here's a question for you - which composer features at the Proms every year and yet is generally only known for one fairly short work? Answer, Hubert Parry. He of course wrote the music for "Jerusalem" which is part of the traditional Last Night programme. But other than that his music is rarely heard despite a prolific output. He's one of those composers who at one time was considered important, but has slowly fallen out of fashion. But this year he's being given somewhat of a revival, with four of his works on offer. Listen out particularly for his Symphony No 5 and Symphonic Variations and then ask yourself just why this most English of composers is normally so woefully underrepresented.
