I was Glad - C Hubert H Parry

Parry's setting is a large scale and grand work employing full choir. It was written in 1902 and has been performed at all of the coronations since then, being sung at the arrival of the monarch. After the instrumental fanfare and introduction, the choir enters emphatically repeating the word glad, then each section in the choir sings Our feet shall stand in a passage which grows in intensity to its climax on O Jerusalem.

There follows an antiphonal  exchange (Jerusalem is builded as a city) which again builds slowly to a substantial climax which subsides in the accommpaniament.  There follows the reflective setting of O Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem, and then the final crescendo begins over a sustained bass note which gradually builds to an impressive choral climax and the piece finishes with grandiose fanfares.
