opis

The Organ Sonata by Elgar is relatively well-known, not least thanks to its orchestration by Gordon Jacob, but the only other work he originally composed for organ is the Cantique Op.3 No.1, which moves solidly forward in the Victorian tradition without suggesting the personal voice and unpredictable drama that would come to characterise Elgar’s style. The set of Vesper Voluntaries Op.14, and this has had far fewer recordings. These gloriously intimate and expressive miniatures date from 1889-90, shortly after Elgar’s conversion to Catholicism, and in their simple songfulness betray their origin as pieces for harmonium. Three other arrangements of Elgar at his most representatively English were made by later organists: the Imperial March, the first of the Pomp and Circumstance marches, and ‘Nimrod’ from the Enigma Variations.

Works:
• Elgar: Cantique in C major, Op. 3 No. 1
• Elgar: Imperial March, Op. 32
• Elgar: Nimrod (from Enigma Variations)
• Elgar: Organ Sonata No. 1 in G major, Op. 28
• Elgar: Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1 in D major, Op. 39 No. 1
• Elgar: Vesper Voluntaries, Op. 14
