ELGAR CHANSON DE NUIT CHANSON DE MATIN OP 15

Violin and Piano

Publisher: Henle
Format: Softcover
Composer: Edward Elgar
Editor: Rupert Marshall-Luck

Like Elgar's Salut'd'amour, the two chansons are amongst his most popular melodies. The dreamy Chanson de nuit and its cheerful counterpart Chanson de matin are often performed together. With this in mind, it is almost surprising that Elgar had in fact completed the Chanson de nuit in October 1897 as a separate piece and shortly afterwards offered it to his publisher Novello. He only submitted the Chanson de matin eighteen months later, telling Novello on this occasion: I see from my sketch (which I found last week and have since completed) that this piece was intended to be a companion to the one you have already. Two evergreens of theviolin repertoire, with moderate technical demands, prepared using the first editions, and with fingering by the British violinist and Elgar scholar Rupert Marshall-Luck.
