'The Pied Piper of Hamelin' by ROBERT BROWNING
Set to music by C.H.H. PARRY
Browning's poem has been set over and over again, both as a cantata and as opera. Sir Hubert Parry 's choral work-for the greater part of the setting is for the chorus-was first sung at the Norwich Festival in 1905. Of Parry's secular choral works, The Pied Piper is probably the most popular, if we exclude the shorter and more classicly dignified work on Milton's text The Blest Pair of Syrens, which is usually held to be Parry's masterpiece in choral writing.
