Thesis submitted in July 197$ for the degree of Ph.D. Y .., + k. 4 ^ 2a Christopher John Kent. "Edward El e;a r ': A Composer at Work. A study of his creative processes as seen through his sketches and proof corrections . " Abstract of Thesis . El gar is one of the most comprehensively documented composers of recent times. His biographers have had at their disposal a wealth of correspondence, personal papers and - other archival material. Elgar's musical documents: Ms. sketches, scores and proofs, the provenance of the musicologist, have received comparatively limited scholarly attention. The thesis seeks to relate these musical documents to the creative process through an analytical and critical study of a series of transcriptions. The transcriptions are mainly collations, in a stratified format, of the different versions that Elgar made of phrases between the first outline sketches and the final fair copy. The alterations and corrections that he made at the proof stage are considered if this material has been available. A chronological approach has been adopted so that Elgar's stylistic evolution can be traced from the works of his formative years to those of his maturity. The contents of the thesis cover eight chapters, viz: I Introduction: A summary of the information about Elgar's self-tuition , his working methods and the important personal and musical influences on his style. II Juvenilia and Early Works: Fugue in G minor. Fugue in D minor for Oboe and Violin . Easy Studies and Exercises for Violin . III Organ Sonata in G. IV King Olaf. V The Dream of Gerontius . VI The Apostles, The Kingdom and The Last Judgement. VII Symphony No. 2 in E flat. VIII Symphony No. 3 in C minor. The main sources of material are sizable deposits in the British Library Department of Manuscripts and at the Elgar Birthplace. These have been supplemented by sketch-books, scores and other fragments in other libraries and private collections. As well as the published biographies and letters I have used unpublished material from Lady- El gar's diary and from the archives of Novello & Company. 3a CONTENTS.

Over the past two decades a steady stream of biographical and critical material devoted to Elgar has appeared. Only • Dr. Percy Young's Elgar O.M. (1955) has paid any detailed attention to the composer's sketches. These, as Dr. Young points out in his preface, are "as full of interest in their own way as those of Beethoven". Apart from the penetrating examination of the sketches for The Spanish Zady in Elgar O.M., the commentaries of W.H.Reed and Ernest Newman on the unfinished Third Symphony and Professor Brian Trowell's recent work on the Enigma Variations and Violin Concerto (as yet unpublished), little study has been devoted to Elgar's creative processes. There is a vast amount of material that awaits musicological examination, and this study can only serve as a first step towards a complete survey of Elgar's sketches. The works I have chosen follow a chronological sequence, so that the composer's stylistic development can be related to his creative processes. They have been selected both for the amount of insight they give into Elgar's working habits and for the way they show him as a "progressive conservative" and "retrospective romantic". The introductory chapter surveys and summarizes the biographical information about Elgar's self-tuition, his working methods and the relevant personal and musical influences which affected his style. Chapter II is mainly devoted to contrapuntal juvenilia; but Chapter III shows Elgar channelling his increasingly distinctive material into classical structures. King Olaf, the subject of Chapter IV, concentrates on the significance of Wagner's influence on Elgar's rapidly maturing style. The Dream of Gerontius (Chapter V), in view of its position as Elgar's supreme masterpiece and its remarkable number of sketches and proofs, is the most extended section of the study. 5a Chapter VI is devoted to The Unfinished Trilogy; it shows Elgar at work both a librettist and as composer. The Second Symphony also has a particularly full and informative series of sketches which enable us to study Elgar's mature language with its Wagnerian gestures and harmonic nuances, fully integrated into a Brahmsian symphonic structure. It is inevitable that a chronological study of Elgar's creative processes will closely reflect his personality. The works discussed in Chapters V - VII from his period of intense productiveness reflect his highly-strung temperament. As a distinct contrast to this, the final chapter on the Third Symphony emphasises the disorientation that hampered his work after the Great War and the death of Lady Elgar. The transcriptions of the sketches, with the exception of a few fragments, are contained in the second volume; the editorial procedure is explained in a short prefatory note. In the main text Elgar's rehearsal numbers have been used as 10 a means of liaison with the transcriptions: e. g. 1 indicates the tenth bar after figure one of the printed edition. The transcriptions are presented in collations, as far as possible, in chronological order one beneath another, so that the evolution of a phrase can be traced through the various strata from its first known sketch to the finished product. Shortage of space has meant that it has not always been possible to conclude each transcription with the printed version. In view of this, the reader will find it helpful to have copies of the respective scores at hand to make the final comparisons. 6a Sources and Acknowledgements. The main sources of manuscript material have been the extensive collections in the Department of Manuscripts of the British Library (Reference Division) and the Elgar Birthplace. For access to these documents I am indebted to the staff of the British Library and the Curator of the Elgar Birthplace, Mr. Jack Mackenzie. For permission to consult other smaller collections and single items, I must express my gratitude to the librarians of Birmingham Oratory, The Athenaeum, and to Dr. Watkins Shaw, Curator of the Parry Room at the Royal College of Music, the Royal Academy of Music, Trinity College of Music, the University of London Libraries at Senate House and King's College, the Library Association and the Bodleian Library. Dr. Percy Young has very kindly made available to me the ten volumes of sketches left in his keeping by the late Mrs. Elgar-Blake. For a most generous supply of unpublished biographical information I must express my sincere thanks to Dr. Jerrold Northrop Moore. Mr. Richard McNutt, Mr. Raymond Monk, Mr. Oliver Neighbour and Mr. Albi Rosenthal have been equally cooperative and forthcoming in allowing me to see material in their possession. For additional financial assistance I am grateful to the University of London Central Research Fund, and to the Editorial Committee of rlusica Britannica for the bestowal of a Louise Dyer Award. Finally I must record my thanks to Professor Brian Trowell for his advice and assistance, but above all for his patience during the final stages of writing. But what I owe to my wife's help and forbearance is known only to ourselves. July 1978. Christopher Kent. CHAPT R I. Introduction . To have asked Edward Elgar the question: "How do you compose?" would have brought from him a curt rebuff, or a tirade of satirical banter, rather than a reasoned answer. Yet he did speak freely on the subject to a chosen few who genuinely understood him, and their valuable accounts enhance the plethora of written and recorded information which makes Elgar one of the most comprehensively documented composers of recent times.

  • String Quartet in E Minor, Op 83
    String Quartet in E minor, op 83 A quartet in three movements for two violins, viola and cello: 1 - Allegro moderato; 2 - Piacevole (poco andante); 3 - Allegro molto. Approximate Length: 30 minutes First Performance: Date: 21 May 1919 Venue: Wigmore Hall, London Performed by: Albert Sammons, W H Reed - violins; Raymond Jeremy - viola; Felix Salmond - cello Dedicated to: The Brodsky Quartet Elgar composed two part-quartets in 1878 and a complete one in 1887 but these were set aside and/or destroyed. Years later, the violinist Adolf Brodsky had been urging Elgar to compose a string quartet since 1900 when, as leader of the Hallé Orchestra, he performed several of Elgar's works. Consequently, Elgar first set about composing a String Quartet in 1907 after enjoying a concert in Malvern by the Brodsky Quartet. However, he put it aside when he embarked with determination on his long-delayed First Symphony. It appears that the composer subsequently used themes intended for this earlier quartet in other works, including the symphony. When he eventually returned to the genre, it was to compose an entirely fresh work. It was after enjoying an evening of chamber music in London with Billy Reed’s quartet, just before entering hospital for a tonsillitis operation, that Elgar decided on writing the quartet, and he began it whilst convalescing, completing the first movement by the end of March 1918. He composed that first movement at his home, Severn House, in Hampstead, depressed by the war news and debilitated from his operation. By May, he could move to the peaceful surroundings of Brinkwells, the country cottage that Lady Elgar had found for them in the depth of the Sussex countryside.

  • Acts of the Apostles Bible Study Lesson # 1 “What Is the Role of the Holy Spirit in the Church?”
    Acts of the Apostles Bible Study Lesson # 1 “What is the role of the Holy Spirit in the Church?” Introduction The gospel writer Luke in his second volume, called “The Acts of the Apostles” or simply “Acts,” is giving Theophilus an account of the birth of the Church, how it organized and solved its problems, and its subsequent spreading of the good news of Jesus Christ following his ascension. Luke makes it clear that the Church did not start on account of any human endeavor but by the power of the Holy Spirit that Jesus promised to give. Because of the power of the Holy Spirit, the Church became an agent for change, bore witness to the faith and became a radically unique and diverse community. From Jerusalem at Pentecost, the Holy Spirit enabled the Church to spread to Syria, Asia, Europe and Africa. The Holy Spirit also took a wide range of people, from a Galilean fisherman to a learned scholar, to cities and towns throughout the Roman Empire to preach the good news, heal, teach and demonstrate God’s love. Despite the apostle’s imprisonment and beatings, and an occasional riot, the band of faithful managed to grow in spite of their persecution. The growth of the Church Luke credits to the guiding work of the Holy Spirit that cannot be bottled or contained. Women, children, Jews and Gentiles were coming together into a new sense of community and purpose through the common experience of encountering the transformative power of Jesus Christ. This bible study is produced to not only help the faithful understand God’s plan for the expansion of the Church but to challenge individual Christians as well as faith communities to seek to understand what God is asking them to do in light of God’s current movement of the Holy Spirit.

  • Solving Elgar's Enigma
    Solving Elgar's Enigma Charles Richard Santa and Matthew Santa On June 19, 1899, Elgar's opus 36, Variations on a Theme, was introduced to the public for the first time. It was accompanied by an unusual program note: It is true that I have sketched for their amusement and mine, the idiosyn­ crasies of fourteen of my friends, not necessarily musicians; but this is a personal matter, and need not have been mentioned publicly. The Varia­ tions should stand simply as a "piece" of music. The Enigma I will not explain-its "dark saying" must be left unguessed, and I warn you that the connexion between the Variations and the Theme is often of the slightest texture; further, through and over the whole set [of variations 1 another and larger theme "goes" but is not played ... So the principal Theme never appears, even as in some late dramas-e.g., Maeterlinck's "L'Intruse" and "Les sept Princesses" -the chief character is never on the stage. (Burley and Carruthers 1972:119) After this premier Elgar give hints about the piece's "Enigma;' but he never gave the solution outright and took the secret to his grave. Since that time scholars, music lovers, and cryptologists have been trying to solve the Enigma. Because the solution has not been discovered in spite of over 108 years of searching, many people have assumed that it would never be found. In fact, some have speculated that there is no solution, and that the promise of an Enigma was Elgar's rather shrewd way of garnering publicity for the piece.

  • The Elgar Sketch-Books
    THE ELGAR SKETCH-BOOKS PAMELA WILLETTS A MAJOR gift from Mrs H. S. Wohlfeld of sketch-books and other manuscripts of Sir Edward Elgar was received by the British Library in 1984. The sketch-books consist of five early books dating from 1878 to 1882, a small book from the late 1880s, a series of eight volumes made to Elgar's instructions in 1901, and two later books commenced in Italy in 1909.^ The collection is now numbered Add. MSS. 63146-63166 (see Appendix). The five early sketch-books are oblong books in brown paper covers. They were apparently home-made from double sheets of music-paper, probably obtained from the stock of the Elgar shop at 10 High Street, Worcester. The paper was sewn together by whatever means was at hand; volume III is held together by a gut violin string. The covers were made by the expedient of sticking brown paper of varying shades and textures to the first and last leaves of music-paper and over the spine. Book V is of slightly smaller oblong format and the sides of the music sheets in this volume have been inexpertly trimmed. The volumes bear Elgar's numbering T to 'V on the covers, his signature, and a date, perhaps that ofthe first entry in the volumes. The respective dates are: 21 May 1878(1), 13 August 1878 (II), I October 1878 (III), 7 April 1879 (IV), and i September 1881 (V). Elgar was not quite twenty-one when the first of these books was dated. Earlier music manuscripts from his hand have survived but the particular interest of these early sketch- books is in their intimate connection with the round of Elgar's musical activities, amateur and professional, at a formative stage in his career.

    BRITISH AND COMMONWEALTH CONCERTOS FROM THE NINETEENTH CENTURY TO THE PRESENT A Discography of CDs & LPs Prepared by Michael Herman Sir Edward Elgar (1857-1934) Born in Broadheath, Worcestershire, Elgar was the son of a music shop owner and received only private musical instruction. Despite this he is arguably England’s greatest composer some of whose orchestral music has traveled around the world more than any of his compatriots. In addition to the Conceros, his 3 Symphonies and Enigma Variations are his other orchestral masterpieces. His many other works for orchestra, including the Pomp and Circumstance Marches, Falstaff and Cockaigne Overture have been recorded numerous times.

    Investigating the Word of God Acts Artist’s Depiction of the Apostle Paul Preaching at the Areopagus in Athens Gene Taylor © Gene Taylor, 2007. All Rights Reserved All lessons are based on the New King James Version, © Thomas Nelson, Inc. An Introduction to Acts The Author There are no serious doubts as to the authorship of the book of Acts of the Apostles. Luke is assigned as its author. As early as the last part of the 2nd century, Irenaeus cites passages so frequently from the Acts of the Apostles that it is certain that he had constant access to the book. He gives emphasis to the internal evidence of its authorship. Tertullian also ascribes the book to Luke, as does Clement of Alexandria. That Luke is the author of the book of Acts is evident from the following. ! The Preface of the Book. The writer addresses Theophilus (Luke 1:3), who is the same individual to whom the gospel of Luke was also directed, and makes reference to a “former treatise” which dealt with “all that Jesus began to do and to teach until the day he was received up” (1:1-2). This is very evidently a reference to the third gospel. ! The book of Acts and the gospel of Luke are identical in style, as a number of scholars have pointed out and demonstrated. ! The book of Acts comes as an historical sequel to the gospel of Luke, taking up with the very events, and at the point where the gospel of Luke concludes, namely the resurrection, the appearances following the resurrection, and the commissioning of the Apostles to the task for which they had been selected and trained by the Lord, and the ascension of Jesus.
