March No. 3 in C minor-Pomp and Circumstance est le titre porté par cinq marches composées entre 1901 et 1930 par le compositeur anglais Sir Edward Elgar. Si la Marchen° 1 est incontestablement la plus célèbre la Marche n° 3 en Ut mineur est la plus achevée en terme de musicalité et de techniques de composition. La conception des motifs est dans la meilleure tradition elgarienne. Le passage principal aux sombres couleurs de la tonalité mineure et le thème cantabile résolument généreux sont impressionnants et donnent à la marche son caractère unique.

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

Pride, pomp, and circumstance of glorious war! It is these words from Shakespeare's Othello that these works by the English composer Sir Edward Elgar fall back on. The work was a sensational success from the very beginning, especially March #1. At its premiere in 1901 under the composer's direction, the audience requested two repeats - in 1902 the words of 'Land of Hope and Glory' were added to the march at the request of Edward VII for his coronation ceremonial. The resulting version is now performed every year at the Last Night of the Proms. Motivated by the success of the first two marches, Elgar composed another three which were performed in 1905, 1907 and 1930. #4 is as formal as #1 whereas the others are of a rather melancholy nature. / Orchestre

Opus 2 no. 1. Par ELGAR EDWARD. En 1885, Edward Elgar est nommé organiste de l’église Saint-George de Worcester. À ce titre, il compose de nombreuses oeuvres liturgiques. En 1887, il crée un Pie Jesu, dans le cadre d'un triptyque comprenant aussi un Ave Maria et l’ Ave Maria Stella. Il remanie la pièce en 1892, et celle-ci devient alors l’ Ave Verum Corpus pour Soprano solo, Ténor solo, Choeur mixte et Orgue (Opus 2, n°1). Robert van Beringen en a réalisé un arrangement délicat et profond. / Niveau : 2 / Classique / Répertoire / Fanfare

Edward Elgar's Chanson De Matin composed in 1899 arranged for string orchestra by W.H. Reed. Duration: Approx 3 minutes.

Elgar published the Chanson de Matin and its partner Chanson de Nuit at the time of his life when he was also creating the Enigma Variations and The Dream of Gerontius. This work was originally created as a Violin and Piano duet but Elgar then Orchestrated the work and it was presented at the Proms. Since then other arrangements have been created.Although published in 1897 scholars suggest that these two works may have been written in the 1880’s. The contrast of the two melodies which Elgar then intertwines yields a satisfying short work especially with the composer’s fine Orchestration.

Elgar's oratorio The Apostles was the biggest endeavour of his creative life. Elgar used the Bible as the source for his libretto taking words and phrases combining separate stories and superimposed different actions one upon another until the psychological emphasis of the libretto reflected its composer as faithfully as the music it was to serve.The Elgar Complete Edition brings together for the first time all of the composer's surviving music from printed and manuscript sources.

A paper-bound full score of Elgar's arguably most famous work Op.36. This volume contains an informative introduction and an appendix with Elgar's original ending. A scholarly edition for conductors and students alike.

A paper-bound full score of two of Elgar's slightly less well-known symphonic works recommended for study. This affordable volume brings you the authority of the scholarly Elgar Complete Edition in a clear large-format score.

Composed in 1911 this work is dedicated to the memory of Edward VII who died in 1910. The symphony reflects the abrupt change of mood that took place throughout the country upon Edward's death.

Of Elgar's five Pomp and Circumstance Marches the first in D is the best known as it includes Land of Hope and Glory. The origin of the title of these marches is a speech in Shakespeare's 'Othello':O now for ever/ Farewell the tranquil mind! farewell content!/ Farewell the plumed troops and the big wars/ That makes ambition virtue!/ O farewell!/ Farewell the neighing steed and the shrill trump / The spirit-stirring drum th' ear-piercing fife / The royal banner and all quality / Pride pomp and circumstance of glorious war!This arrangement has been made to make it more accessible to the average orchestra; the instruments marked with an asterisk in the orchestrationlist above may be omitted if necessary.Duration: 6 minutes OrchestrationPiccolo 2 Flutes 2 Oboes 2 Clarinets in A or Bb Bass clarinet* 2 Bassoons 2 Horns in F 2 Trumpets in Bb 3 Trombones Tuba Timpani Percussion (Snare drum Triangle Bass drum Cymbals) Strings (Violin 1 Violin 2 Viola Cello Bass) (* = instruments optional)
