| Title Name | Elegy, Op. 58 |
| Marketing Copy | Edward Elgar's (1857-1934) ELEGY, Op. 58, written for string orchestra in 1909, was composed at the request of his publisher following the death of Rev. Robert Hadden, a fellow freeman of the Worshipful Company of Musicians. While the work is dedicated to Hadden, it is thought that it might more reflect Elgar's grief at the passing of his close friend August Jaeger less than a month prior. While not formally acknowledged in the dedication, Jaeger did receive an earlier and unsurpassable tribute as the focus of the Nimrod movement from the ENIGMA VARIATIONS. The ELEGY was first performed on July 13, 1909, at a Memorial Concert for the Worshipful Company of Musicians at the Mansion House in London. A string count of 8-8-5-5-5 is included in the set. Reprint edition. |
