The Music Makers

Unlike the effervescence of pieces such as the Pomp and Circumstance Marches, Elgar’s The Music Makers is a very introverted work which cleverly includes quotations from many of his other works. It was commissioned for, and first performed at, the Birmingham Triennial Music Festival, 1912. Early criticism of the work, directed more at the words than at the music, described the piece as tawdry and self-centred, but such views are perhaps more reflective of the reviewer than the composition, as is displayed by the continued popularity of this piece with audiences and performers alike.

Also performed tonight are Ireland’s London Overture and Delius’s Sea Drift.
