8 sections according to Chandos recording track listing, one for each stanza of Tennyson's poem (and have been set right- Choric Song from etc. is indeed the subtitle, not just the name of one of the 8 sections.) Finished as well as published in 1892 according to Dibble.

According to Allis (2003, Ashgate Publishing), "Parry’s Creative Process" (p.40; based on the kind of manuscript paper used etc.) this work was revised ca.1912.
