Elgar – The Angel's Farewell from "The Dream of Gerontius"

Elgar's "The Dream of Gerontius", with words by Cardinal St John Henry Newman, just crept into the twentieth century and has been hugely popular ever since, as much in Germany as in England. Its popularity was such that Elgar arranged and authorised publication of both the Prelude and the final section, The Angel's Farewell, as concert pieces to be played separately or consecutively. He also made piano transcriptions of them both (as he had done with the Enigma Variations). Herbert Brewer subsequently made organ versions of both. I play this quite often as a funeral congregation is arriving.
