We Say...
"There is sweet music here that softer falls/ Than petals from blown roses on the grass/ Or night dews on still waters between walls/ Of shadowy granite, in a gleaming pass." So goes the opening lines to "There Is Sweet Music," one of Edward Elgar's most well-known choral work. It's a beautiful poem by Tennyson, but it's transformed in Elgar's hands into a strange and wondrous work written in two keys (the tenor and bass parts in G, the soprano and alto in A flat). Elgar called it "the best I have done" at the time. Also included here: "As Torrents in Summer," which achieves tour de force status in a little bit over two minutes.
