Edward Elgar rose from obscurity to become the most popular English
composer of his day. Elgar's music is known world-wide and works
such as the 'Enigma Variations' and 'The Dream of Gerontius'
together with the two symphonies and the two concertos have
established him as one of the greatest British composers of all
time. The Elgar Society was founded in 1951 to further the cause of
Elgar's music and the present volume of essays has been compiled as
an expression of gratitude for the work that it has done. These
essays reflect the variety and richness of Elgar's music and the
debate that this music continues to encourage. The book is not
simply for academics however; lovers of music in general will find
much to entertain them and it will add greatly to our appreciation
of Elgar.
