Composer of the  Week

Edward Elgar- born in England (1857-1934)

Edward Elgar's father was a musician who tuned pianos, owned a music shop and was employed as a church organist.

The young Edward learned to play the organ and violin at a young age, and composed his first short piece at the age of 10. His first job was as assistant organist to his father.
​His main love was composition.


 ​We are going to watch  an amazing performance of   Elgar's cello concerto 1st Movement.

​Somebody once said that the way Edgar  chooses to open his Cello Concerto, is as if   Shakespeare had started Hamlet with ‘To be or not to be’... listen to the powerful beginning...


Picture
 After watching the performance, write down a list of words that describes Jacqueline's Du Pre
 performance. 
 
​Find out more about Jacqueline Du Pre, one of the greatest cellist of all time!
 Music theory Knowledge of  the week

As you listen to the music try to draw the story that you imagine.

Be creative and let your imagination fly!
