Edward Elgar: Chanson de matin // Principal Cello David Cohen

Programme Note We often think of Elgar as the quintessentially English composer writing solid Romantic Victorian music at a time when the rest of the musical world was in turmoil. We now know however that Elgar was in just as much personal turmoil as everybody else. From a lower-middle class family of amateur musicians, Elgar was self-taught, Roman Catholic and for much of his early adult life felt that his face just didn’t fit the mould of ‘great British classical composer’. Chanson du matin (Morning Song) was written before his first major success (Enigma Variations) but just after his marriage so Elgar was suffering from conflicting emotions. His personal life was happy but his work still unacknowledged and overlooked. Perhaps mirroring this, he also wrote a darker companion piece Chanson de nuit. Both are now very famous and beloved.
