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.

  • Reducing the Term of Copyright in Unpublished Works (“2039” Rule)
    December 2014 Consultation on reducing the duration of copyright in unpublished (“2039”) works in accordance with section 170(2) of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 About UK Music 1. UK Music is the umbrella body representing the collective interests of the UK’s commercial music industry, from songwriters and composers to artists and musicians, studio producers, music managers, music publishers, major and independent record labels, music licensing companies and the live music sector. 2. UK Music exists to represent the UK’s commercial music sector, to drive economic growth and promote the benefits of music to British society. The members of UK Music are listed in annex 1. General 3. We see no justification to change the 2039 Rule to the extent that it impacts music, whether it is for sound recordings or musicial works. The rule constitutes a compromise achieved in 1988 in order to bring the calculation of term for unpublished works in line with the one for published works in 2039. We note that Government has not provided any evidence in the Impact Assessment which would justify their preferred Option 2a with regards to sound recordings and is otherwise very limited for other forms of works. 4. There are some important general points about the Impact Assessment that we would wish to note: a) On page 1 it is stated that the works cannot be lawfully published if copyright owners cannot be identified. The Government has recently introduced an orphan works licensing scheme to permit lawful publication of such works. In addition the Impact Assessment does not consider whether works subject to the 2039 Rule could be cleared via an extended collective licence.

  • 1 Introduction
    Cambridge University Press 0521533635 - The Cambridge Companion to Elgar Edited by Daniel M. Grimley and Julian Rushton Excerpt More information 1 Introduction daniel m. grimley and julian rushton International interest in Elgar’s music has enjoyed a general revival following the performance and recordings of his Third Symphony, properly entitled ‘the sketches for Symphony No. 3 elaborated by Anthony Payne’. When permission was granted by the family for Payne to make his work public, understanding and perception of Elgar was permanently altered. Hitherto it was assumed that the death of Alice Elgar in 1920 had suppressed his creative urge, a view supported by the relatively small-scale works of his last decade, and their dependence on earlier sketches. It appears, however, that he was sufficiently restored not only to contemplate an opera (The Spanish Lady) and a new symphony, but to reach a stage in composing the latter from which a complete score could be elaborated – obviously not identical to what Elgar would have written, but rich in ideas and deeply moving in performance.1 And if both symphony and opera depended in part on earlier sketches, research into Elgar’s compositional methods shows that to be true of many, if not all, his greatest works (see chapters 4 and 5). In fact the level of interest in Elgar among musicians, including musical scholars, was already high. Elgar has never been long out of public view, at least in Britain, where his music is a fixture at the Last Night of the Proms. The Jacqueline du Pre´ phenomenon, in which a young artist working with a senior conductor (Sir John Barbirolli) presented the cello concerto unforgettably, seemed to recreate the history of Elgar recording his violin concerto with the young Yehudi Menuhin; but we should not forget that the concerto was in the repertoire of senior cellists such as Paul Tortelier.

Delius’ father was a German cotton magnate; the grandfather of Gustavus Theodore von Holst (he became plain Gustav Holst in 1918) was a Latvian composer with Scandinavian ancestors and German cousins; and the name Elgar is probably a form of the Scandinavian Aelfgar (fairy spear).
