R.I.P. HM Queen Elizabeth II - 8 September 2022
It is incredible that this piece was written for Queen Elizabeth II, still here in 2021, a link across three centuries
May she rest in peace.
This music seems very appropriate, though it was written for her when she was 5 and now at her passing in September 2022. R.I.P Queen Elizabeth II 1926 - 2022
one of Elgar's late pieces, it's a pity Elgar fell largely silent after the death of Lady Elgar in 1920. Anyway, lets be thankful for all the lovely music Elgar did give us.
Elgar's music is a charming delight to souls who are weary of modern times. He takes me back, dares me to dream and remember.
Michael Patterson me too his music is sublime and when I am weary of this world Elgar takes me back to an England of my youth and much further back. Yes I am an old romantic and I am glad I am!
Wonderful flute playing from Atarah in the second movement, using her beloved wooden Rudall Carte.
Musical food for the soul👍
I wonder how many first heard this as the interval music played between BBC TV School programmes of the 1950s and 60s ?
Restful listening
RIP HM the Queen
It's not resting and wishing that is foolish. Dead is dead. Only decay and non-existence.

@@tr7938 Guess we won't be seeing you then.
Very nice thank you...one to dream to!
Each part of this suite is just about perfect. Apart from the Envoy, most of the pieces seem to have a curiously Gallic sensibility about them, or, at least, that is how they sound to me. I found myself thinking of Saint-Saens and Faure, for instance.
