	Edward Elgar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sir Edward William Elgar, 1st Baronet, OM, GCVO (2 June 1857 ;– 23 February 1934) was an English composer, born in the small village of Lower Broadheath outside Worcester, Worcestershire, to William Elgar, a piano tuner and music dealer, and his wife Ann.
		Shortly after their composition, Elgar was asked to set the first march to words by A C Benson as a Coronation Ode to mark the coronation of King Edward VII.
		Elgar lived in the village of Kempsey from 1923 to 1927, during which time he was made Master of the King's Musick.

	Sir Edward Elgar
		But Elgar himself was a good violinist, and it may well be that he would have played this tune through to himself on the violin, before adding a piano part and sending it off to his publishers for their consideration.
		If Elgar waited until he was 42 before his major breakthrough, his fame spread rapidly: so much so that by the outbreak of World War 1 he was arguably the most celebrated living British composer, whose reputation had been cemented by a succession of large scale choral and orchestral works.
		Those who knew Elgar at this time have written that he was much taken with the surroundings, and would walk in the woods every day; they also suggest that the woodlands influenced his music, and in the Sonata's central Romance (Andante) it is not at all fanciful to sense an echo of those tranquil surroundings.

	Classical Net Review - Elgar - Symphony #1, etc.
		Elgar characteristically seemed of two minds, mostly brought on by his habitual fear of the evil eye, like a dog who expects to get kicked, which would never allow him to fully enjoy success.
		One can see straightforward variations of it throughout, but less clear is Elgar's use of it as an archetypal "shape." This comes down even to the placement of climaxes in various themes and the very scale-degree of the climactic note, in themes that have otherwise little to do with the motto.
		Elgar identified the motto with the spiritual quality of charity - a thread running through experience and coloring it.

		Elgar composed the Imperial March, for orchestra, for Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee in 1897, receiving performances at the Crystal Palace, a Royal Garden Party, a State Concert and at the Albert Hall.

		And for anyone out-of-tune enough with Elgar to attempt to curb his rhetoric, there's a pitfall right at the opening of the piece, where the crotchet chords are marked risoluto and look (to a pianist) as if they should be played in a heavy, deliberate manner.

		In March 2003, The Elgar Society and The RVW Society organised a joint two-day international symposium which was held at The British Library in London.
		The apocryphal history of Gerontius is well known - how Elgar's late completion of the vocal score, the Birmingham choirmaster's untimely death and the failure of his replacement to appreciate the complexity of the work led to an under-rehearsed première which the critics panned.
		Edward Elgar's music has an instinctive nobility and chivalry, equally characteristic of the man. His wide reading, interests in the world of art, visits abroad and social contacts made initially through his wife's position, reinforced the simple morality of his mother's teaching.
