Synopsis
Excerpt from College Addresses: Delivered to Pupils of the Royal College of Music
I can see him striding into the hall on the first morning of the College term, a carnation from Highnam in his buttonhole, a slip of paper on which a few notes were scribbled in his left hand, and his right hand free to grasp that of any boy or girl who greeted him in its enveloping grip. Sometimes the right hand was used to deliver to some unsuspecting youth that smack on the back which was his favourite token of recognition, and which has made many of us still associate a sharp pain between the shoulder-blades with the glow of the Director's presence.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book collects over twenty essays by Sir Hubert Parry, who served as the first Director of the Royal College of Music at the invitation of Queen Victoria. The author's reflections span music, art, culture, and society across his decades-long tenure. The author emphasizes the importance of education for life and the pursuit of fine things for the individual and collective enrichment of society. The author warns that amid the nation's progress, carelessness, and false imitation can have dangerous effects on society's appreciation for the arts. Parry also emphasizes the importance of character from an early age, both in personal formation and in the development of youth's role in society. Though originally delivered as addresses to students and colleagues at the Royal College of Music, these essays are as insightful and meaningful today for their emphasis on values, education, and culture.
