On November 6th 1929 at the Small Queen's Hall London Edward Elgar recorded five short improvisations at the piano. He used the piano extensively when composing and the recordings present a fascinating insight into the composer's genius referencing his work on the never-completed piano concerto and other themes in five remarkably cohesive and memorable pieces.Although these recordings were eventually released in 1975 there has not until now been a printed transcription of this music available. In this edition Iain Farrington has skilfully transcribed Elgar's playing to reconstruct the five pieces making a significant addition to the Elgar pianorepertoire.

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. There are numerous arrangements - but the only versions for which the autograph manuscripts survive are those for Violin and Piano (HN 1188), Piano solo (HN 1190) and Violoncello and Piano. Up to now there has only been an arrangement of the cello part made by the original publisher, presumably with Elgar's approval. We are now for the very first time publishing the version following Elgar's autograph manuscript, which for unknown reasons had never been released. In addition we are publishing the trusted musical text from the first edition. / Violoncelle Et Piano

Par ELGAR EDWARD. Elgar's Six Easy Pieces were first published in 1892. Four of these pieces were published even earlier in the early 1880's as A Set of Exercises For Violin. The 1892 version was a revised and expanded version of these original exercises. In this 1985 version, there are now 6 exercises and the opportunity has been taken to revise the original fingering and bowing indications and to remove a number of discrepancies of phrasing and dynamics. / Niveau : Facile / Répertoire / Violon et Piano

Edward Elgar écrivit grandes oeuvres symphoniques pour instruments solistes avec accompagnement d'orchestre, mais aussi des oeuvres de musique de chambre et des oeuvres occasionnels, en particulier pour le violon: pour 'Salut d'amour' par exemple ou 'Chant de nuit'. Cette série comprend aussi 'La Capricieuse', composé en 1891. Le violoniste formé Elgar a su écrire un caprice, ou un morceau de musique même 'irascible', qui est à la hauteur du nom de 'Capricieuse'. Bien que la charmante miniature ne peut pas rivaliser avec la popularité de 'Pomp and Circumstance', on peut difficilement imaginer un plus drôle que ce réglage.

Edward Elgar's The Dream Of Gerontius is a splendid oratorio for Mezzo-soprano, Tenor and Bass with Chorus and Orchestra. It is based on the epic poem, The Dream of Gerontius by John Henry Newman written in 1865. The original vocal score of Gerontius was actually printed before Elgar's had even finalised or completed his final orchestration and as such it was printed without many of the markings that were added in the later full score. This new edition brings vocal and full scores into agreement for the first time having been authentically and effectively edited by Hywel Davies and Bruce Wood, and also includes helpful notes on the background to the work as well as an outline of the editorial procedure and list of sources. This New Novello Choral Edition of the Vocal score with Piano reduction of the orchestral materialincludes a detailed foreword listing history, sources and editorial proceedure. / Chant Et Piano

The Dream Of Gerontius was composed in 1900 for the Birmingham Music Festival. It was a large-scale work for chorus soloists and orchestra setting a poem by Cardinal John Henry Newman. The section of the text beginning Praise To The Holiest had already been set and popularised to an Anglican hymn tune but Elgar shunned this version preferring to write his own melody. This has been arranged here for female chorus with Piano accompaniment. Edward Elgar (1857-1934) is one of England’s best-known and most-loved composers. He was self-taught as composer coming from outside the musical and social establishment whichallowed his music to be fresh and unencumbered.
