Sir Edward Elgar's bench. HBM

Sir Edward Elgar's bench. HBM
Sir Edward Elgar, British composer, (1857 - 1934) was born in Lower Broadheath, a small Worcestershire village. The house he was born in has been a museum for some time, fairly recently leased by the Elgar family to the National Trust. This statue of him seated on a bench is in the garden.

He is not hugely well known internationally but among his works the Enigma Variations and first Cello Concerto are well known and often performed in the UK and much loved by this photographer.

HBM everyone, have a peaceful week.

Maggie, yes you are broadly correct but I have discovered that Elgar is known in France and Spain, especially for the two pieces you mention! Elgar has been a favourite composer of mine since I was knee high to a grasshopper and I still hold him in high affection.

Great to see you back Maggs. Hope you are doing well. A super shot that has given me an extra smile this week. Any mention of Elgar does that to me. When I was a child my younger brother came home and asked for help with his homework. He said, failing to mention it was a music assignment, he had to write an essay about Helga! I kept asking him if he was sure and he was insistent that he was right. The only Helga I could think of was the rather controversial film of that name about the birth of a baby. I had not seen it but how hard could it be? I wrote his essay and caused untold merriment at his school when it was read and handed around the staff room. He of course should have been writing about Elgar!! He was told to do his own homework in future!!!

HBM and have a good week

It's a beautiful sculpture Maggs and in b&w it looks just right. His music is very soul-stirring. I love it. I hope you have a good new week. HBM.
