Piano Music Vol. 2 restores a lesser-heard facet of Charles H. H. Parry, situating his writing within English music at the turn of the twentieth century. Sonata no. 2 in A major balances formal ambition with restrained cantabile, favouring clarity and command of long span. Three Sonnets and Songs without Words from Book 2 - Resignation, L’Allegro, Il Penseroso - translate a literary horizon poised between radiance and inwardness. The suite Hands Across the Centuries (1918) reimagines old dances as stylised memory: Allemande, Courante, Sarabande and Jig become figures of time, not archaeology but continuity of gesture. It is a bridge across centuries, where the past becomes present through the discipline of form. Measured rhetoric and British reserve converse with the Continent while retaining a distinct profile.
