A Journey Through Songs By Sir Edward Elgar |
| | Description: | Where Corals Lie is an album by Julia / Christopher Glynn Sitkovetsky, released in 2021. The album is a classical CD.
The England of Elgarâ??s time favoured popular ballads, sung by well-known singers. These were then sold as sheet music, the singerâ??s name emblazoned on the cover, for performances given in middle-class homes. There was little demand for lengthy song cycles, or song recitals consisting entirely of â??seriousâ?? repertoire in the German tradition. As a result, Elgarâ??s songs are often individual works, sometimes adapting instrumental works into songs (such as â??Land of Hope and Gloryâ??) when the
commercial opportunities arose. Elgar also chose poetry that was popular and straightforward, rather than drawing on the established classical masterpieces.
These songs were then transposed into numerous keys to allow performance by any voice type, designed for mass appeal and profitable sales.
Making her Chandos début, Julia Sitkovetsky is a British-American lyric-dramatic coloratura soprano with a flourishing, exciting international career. - A JOURNEY THROUGH SONGS BY SIR EDWARD ELGARWorking in an era before Arts Council grants, public sponsorship, recording royalties, and long-term publishing deals, Elgar had to write for the public demand as much as personal satisfaction.
