Meet the composer – Edward Elgar – Spring Concert 2023

The Spring Concert 2023 repertoire included the piece ‘Chanson du matin‘ (‘Song of the Morning’) was composed by British composer Edward Elgar and is often regarded as one of his most charming and melodic works. This beautiful instrumental work was written in 1899 and is one of two pieces, along with “Chanson de nuit”, that the composer wrote as a small tribute to his wife Caroline Alice, on the occasion of their wedding anniversary.

“Chanson du matin” is a piece written for violin and piano, although Elgar later also did a version for orchestra. The composition exudes delicacy and subtlety, which perfectly conveys the theme of morning reflection and nostalgia. The melody is graceful and sentimental, putting the listener in a warm mood and allowing them to immerse themselves in the beautiful sounding world of the music.

Profile of the composer

The profile of Edward Elgar is as interesting as his compositions. Born in 1857 in the small village of Broadheath, England, Elgar was a self-taught musician who showed exceptional musical talent from an early age. As a child, he learned to play the violin and piano and was also interested in composing. His family supported him in developing his musical passions, although they were not very wealthy.

Elgar gradually gained recognition as a composer, but his real success came with his oratorio The Dream of Gerontius in 1900. He became one of the most respected British composers of his era, and his music was often inspired by his native England’s traditions and landscape.

Edward Elgar died in 1934, but his music continues to live on and delight listeners around the world. “Chanson du matin” is just one of his many beautiful works that remain a lasting testament to his unique talent and contribution to music history. His music continues to touch hearts and transport us into a world of beauty and emotion, making him one of the most important composers of his era.
