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.

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

Britannia a été écrit en 1994 que la célébration d'une force majeure dans notre vie musicale, l'orchestre britannique. Le travail Remplir une commande de British Telecommunications plc avec l'Association de la Colombie-Orchestres dans le cadre de la série BT célébration, et fournit tous les grands orchestres du Royaume-Uni avec une nouvelle ouverture de concert pour la performance de la saison 1994/95.Britannia est un fantasme de dix minutes orchestrale basée sur des 'thèmes patriotiques. Il n'existe aucun programme de recherche, mais que l'histoire de la tapisserie de mélodies populaires et des allusions de résonance, compte tenu de leurs contextes nouveaux et inconnus, peut provoquer certains scénarios surprenant dans l'esprit de l'auditeur, en particulier à un moment où le chauvinisme petite menace à l'arrière une fois de plus dans toute l'Europe. La pièce se développe sur un court sketch écrit plus tôt cette année, Mémoire Impériale, qui est basé sur un air de mars par le général Reid, à l'officier britannique du 18e siècle, l'armée qui a créé le département de musique de l'Université d'Edimbourg. Ce thème et le 'impériale' d'Elgar et de thèmes Arne sont jetés dans une concoction volatile avec d'autres matériaux - une bobine irlandaise (qui devient un gabarit), une chanson à boire Cockney, des airs d'autres mars et une modalité brumeux celtique.Toutes les idées principales sont présentées dans une succession rapide et forte au cours de la section d'ouverture rapide. La partie lente milieu commence avec un canon sereine qui est progressivement Minée par gradés de l'armée et des percussions sur des allusions. Cette confrontation conduit à l'apogée du travail, suivie d'une coda en suspens.Britannia est dédié à Libby MacNamara de l'Association des orchestres britanniques. / Orchestre
