Elgar described what followed:   “In a little while, soothed and feeling rested, I began to play, and suddenly my wife interrupted by saying: ‘Edward, that’s a good tune.’ I awoke from the dream. ‘Eh! Tune, what tune!’ And she said, ‘Play it again, I like that tune.’ I played and strummed, and played, then she exclaimed: ‘That’s the tune.’ The voice of [my wife] asked with a sound of approval, ‘What is that?’ I answered, ‘Nothing – but something might be made of it.’”   This tune is what became the theme to one of the greatest works in the orchestral repertoire, VARIATIONS ON AN ORIGINAL THEME or the ENIGMNA VARIATIONS. Elgar called the variations \"Enigma,\" not to be thought of as a riddle so much as a \"dark saying [that] must be left unguessed.,\" though he also hinted that a hidden melody is also embedded within the music. Each of the fourteen variations functions as a musical caricature of a specific friend, starting with his wife Alice (\"C.A.E.\"), and ending with himself (\"E.D.U.\"). Variation No. 9, \"Nimrod\" is a caricature of Augustus J. Jaeger. The work premiered in 1899 at St. James Hall in London, conducted by Hans Richter, and acheived immediate popularity, establishing Elgar's international reputation.

Elgar described what followed:   “In a little while, soothed and feeling rested, I began to play, and suddenly my wife interrupted by saying: ‘Edward, that’s a good tune.’ I awoke from the dream. ‘Eh! Tune, what tune!’ And she said, ‘Play it again, I like that tune.’ I played and strummed, and played, then she exclaimed: ‘That’s the tune.’ The voice of [my wife] asked with a sound of approval, ‘What is that?’ I answered, ‘Nothing – but something might be made of it.’”   This tune is what became the theme to one of the greatest works in the orchestral repertoire, VARIATIONS ON AN ORIGINAL THEME or the ENIGMNA VARIATIONS. Elgar called the variations \"Enigma,\" not to be thought of as a riddle so much as a \"dark saying [that] must be left unguessed.,\" though he also hinted that a hidden melody is also embedded within the music. Each of the fourteen variations functions as a musical caricature of a specific friend, starting with his wife Alice (\"C.A.E.\"), and ending with himself (\"E.D.U.\"). Variation No. 9, \"Nimrod\" is a caricature of Augustus J. Jaeger. The work premiered in 1899 at St. James Hall in London, conducted by Hans Richter, and acheived immediate popularity, establishing Elgar's international reputation.

Named after a phrase found in Shakespeare's OTHELLO, they were meant to showcase that the splendidness of military pageantry (\"Pomp\") has little relation to the drabness and terror of actual warfare (\"Circumstance\"). MARCH No. 1 in D is certainly the most well-known of the five, with the Trio section, which includes the melody known as LAND OF HOPE AND GLORY, used in almost all graduation ceremonies in Canada, the Philippines, and the United States. It was premiered in Liverpool, along with No. 2, on October 19, 1901, by the Liverpool Orchestra Society, with the dedicatee Alfred E. Rodewald conducting.

Composed in the aftermath of World War I, it premiered in October of 1919. The premier was reportedly quite the debacle, as Elgar (as director) and the performers of the London Symphony Orchestra had not been allotted proper rehearsal time from director Albert Coates, who overran his rehearsal time at Elgar’s expense. Composed in the summer of 1919, the first theme supposedly came to Elgar during a dangerous procedure to remove an infected tonsil. Upon waking from sedation, he asked for a pencil and paper and began sketching out the melody. The Cello Concerto did not achieve popularity until the 1960’s, where a recording by renowned cellist Jacqueline du Pré made it into a classical best-seller, driving a popularity that remains through today.

Elgar described what followed:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“In a little while, soothed and feeling rested, I began to play, and suddenly my wife interrupted by saying: ‘Edward, that's a good tune.' I awoke from the dream. ‘Eh! Tune, what tune!' And she said, ‘Play it again, I like that tune.' I played and strummed, and played, then she exclaimed: ‘That's the tune.' The voice of [my wife] asked with a sound of approval, ‘What is that?' I answered, ‘Nothing – but something might be made of it.'”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis tune is what became the theme to one of the greatest works in the orchestral repertoire, VARIATIONS ON AN ORIGINAL THEME or the ENIGMNA VARIATIONS. Elgar called the variations \"Enigma,\" not to be thought of as a riddle so much as a \"dark saying [that] must be left unguessed.,\" though he also hinted that a hidden melody is also embedded within the music. Each of the fourteen variations functions as a musical caricature of a specific friend, starting with his wife Alice (\"C.A.E.\"), and ending with himself (\"E.D.U.\"). The middle variations refer to: II. \"H.D.SP.\" (Hew David Steuart-Powell), III. \"R.B.T.\" (Richard Baxter Townshend), IV. \"W.M.B.\" (William Meath Baker), V. \"R.P.A.\" (Richard Penrose Arnold), VI. \"Ysobel\" (Isabel Fitton), VII. \"Troyte\" (Arthur Troyte Griffith), VIII. \"W.N.\" (Winifred Norbury), IX. \"Nimrod\" (Augustus J. Jaeger), X. \"Dorabella\" (Dora Penny), XI. \"G.R.S.\" (George Robertson Sinclair), XII. \"B.G.N.\" (Basil George Nevinson), XIII. \"***\" (possibly Lady Mary Lygon of Madresfield). The work premiered in 1899 at St. James Hall in London, conducted by Hans Richter, and acheived immediate popularity, establishing Elgar's international reputation. Elgar did quickly revise the final variation, adding 96 new bars of music and an organ part, which is how the work is usually performed today. Istrumentation: 2(2dPicc).2.2.2+CBsn: 4.3.3.1: Timp.Perc(1): Org(opt): Str (9-8-7-6-5 in set). The conductor's score and parts are available from E. F.

Just why this should be so is difficult to say. All five of the Pomp and Circumstance Marches are cast in basically the same form, a two-part A-B-AB, with the \"A\" part energetic and moving briskly along, and the \"B\" bringing a change of feeling (even though no actual change of pace is indicated) with the so-called \"great tune\" by way of contrast. However, it has become almost a tradition with Nos. 1 and 4 to play the final section in a slower tempo, probably in respect of Elgar's tempo marking \"Grandioso\" at this point. Certainly both of these \"great tunes\" could, and have, been considered as portraying musically the very essence and glorification of British majesty and power at the time they were written.","brand":"Alfred Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44592183017608,"sku":"36-M907101","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0697\/6104\/0520\/files\/36-M907101_large_3e6cc743-9383-4a8b-bdd8-1bcbc152cf5e.jpg?v=1779255352"},{"product_id":"the-music-makers-op-69-for-contralto-solo-chorus-and-orchestra-36-a912401os","title":"The Music Makers, Op. 69 for Contralto Solo, Chorus, and Orchestra: Cantata\/ Oratorio, Orchestra Accompaniment, Oversized Score","description":"Edward Elgar (1857-1934) began work on The Music Makers, Op. 69, a work for solo contralto, mixed chorus, and orchestra, in 1903 and completing it in 1912. It sets the entirety of Ode by Arthur O'Shaughnessy to music, a text that likely appealed to Elgar's sense of an artist's life and relationship to society. (The text begins with, \"We are the music makers, And we are the dreamers of dreams, Wandering by lone sea-breakers, And sitting by desolate streams.\") Perhaps given the kinship he felt to the text, Elgar's music is almost autobiographical in ways, quoting music from some of his own most popular works, including: The Dream of Gerontius, the Violin Concerto, \"sea-breakers\" from Sea Pictures, \"Nimrod\" from the Enigma Variations, Symphonies Nos. 1 and 2, the Violin Concerto, Rule, Britannia, and La Marseillaise. Despite the many quotations, most of the music is original. It premiered on October 1st, 1912 at the Birmingham Festival, with Muriel Foster singing the alto solo, and Elgar himself conducting the Festival Chorus and Orchestra.
