Op. 38. Par ELGAR EDWARD. This is the best of me, wrote Edward Elgar after the final measure of his Dream of Gerontius. Premiered in 1900, in Great Britain the work has long been a standard work in the repertoire of large oratorio choirs. Elgar?s moving, poetic setting of the eponymous poem by Cardinal John Henry Newman is about a dying man and his journey beyond death to God. Before the eyes of the listeners, a musical image of the soul is created which flies past mocking demons to God with its protecting angel at its side, is allowed to look at him briefly, then faces the purgatorial fire of salvation confident and comforted. The work is a real rarity in the history of oratorio, and for large choirs it is a thrilling alternative to the established repertoire of Requiem settings. Its popularity is thanks to the suggestive, often sensuous power of the music, the great choral scenes of the demons and the Angel, and the three impressive solo parts. All previous editions were reprints based on the historic first printed materials, which are inconsistent. By contrast, Carus has produced a modern, newly-engraved edition, compatible in all sections, which takes all the sources into consideration and evaluates the autograph manuscript in detail. For this edition the complete orchestral material is available on sale, and the vocal score and full score contain both English and German singing texts. The full score is also available digitally. / Date parution : 2022-05-31/ Répertoire / Solistes, Ch?ur SATB et Orchestre

Arr. Philip Sparke. Par ELGAR EDWARD. Avec Pomp and Circumstance, un cycle de cinq marches militaires, Edward Elgar a donné à la marche une véritable dimension symphonique. La Marche n° 1 est incontestablement la plus célèbre des cinq. De la mélodie du trio, Elgar devait déclarer qu’elle était de celles dont on n’a l’inspiration « qu’une fois dans sa vie ». Il réutilisera cette mélodie dans son oeuvre chorale Coronation Ode (1902) pour accompagner le texte Land of Hope and Glory d’A. C. Benson. Depuis, Land of Hope and Glory est devenu une sorte de second hymne national anglais et fait partie intégrante de la célébrissime Dernière Nuit des Concerts-promenades (the Last Night of the Proms). / Niveau : 2.5 / Musique pour célébration / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Par ELGAR EDWARD. The Vocal Score to Edward Elgar's From The Bavarian Highlands./ Répertoire / SATB et Orchestre

Edward Elgar's Salut d'amour is one of those pieces by the British composer that has a particularly haunting melody. Composed in 1888 for his future wife Caroline Alice Roberts, the work became an enormous success early on. Notes in the surviving autographs for the versions for Violin and Piano (HN 1188), Violoncello and Piano (HN 1189) and Piano solo show that Elgar had intended making arrangements for numerous scorings - but only the three named versions were authorised through original manuscripts. Amongst these the piano version has a special signifi cance: Caroline Alice Roberts was a piano pupil of Elgar's and thus the composer might have rewritten the original for violin and piano for his fiancée and later wife. Alongside the first print, we have also evaluated Elgar's autograph engraver's copy for the first time. / Piano

With Separate Violin Part-One of the most beloved pieces in the modern Violin repertoire the Concerto in B Minor is among Edward Elgar's longest orchestral compositions and one of the last of his works to achieve and retain popular success.This practice and performance edition contains a Piano reduction and a separate Violin part.Famed violinist Fritz Kreisler pronounced Elgar the greatest living composer placing him 'on an equal footing with my idols Beethoven and Brahms. He is of the same aristocratic family. His invention his orchestration his harmony his grandeur—it is wonderful. I wish Elgar would write something for the violin.'A commission from the Royal Philharmonic Society helped fulfill Kreisler's wish and the violinist performed the Concerto in B Minor at its 1910 debut with Elgar conducting the London Symphony Orchestra.

Das Cellokonzert war Edward Elgars letzte große Komposition. Es besticht durch eine klare Struktur, ist aber gleichzeitig auch eine sehr emotionsgeladene Komposition. Kein Wunder, dass dieses Werk einen zentralen Platz in der Celloliteratur einnimmt.
