About this arrangement

String Quartet - intermediate SKU: HL.44005887 Composed by Edward Elgar. Arranged by Donald Fraser. Fentone Instrumental Books. Educational Tool. Set (Score & Parts). Fentone Music #F622. Published by Fentone Music (HL.44005887). UPC: 884088043575. English.Sir Edward Elgar was born in Worcester in 1857. Until the outstanding success of the 'Enigma' Variations in 1899, he was considered a 'provincial' composer - and a largely self taught one at that.In the earlier part of Elgar's career as a composer, he wrote several short pieces which became very popular indeed. Chanson de nuit is one such, the second of a pair (Chanson de Matin the other being), which carried his name far and wide before his larger orchestra works appeared. It was published in several versions at once: for string orchestra, for small orchestra, for violin and piano and so on - so it is almost impossible to say, with any degree of certainty, which was theoriginal version. This arrangement makes a useful addition to the repertoire for string quartet. Priority Direct Import titles are specialty titles that are not generally offered for sale by US-based retailers.
