Musician's or Publisher's Notes

 

Elgar wrote Chanson de Nuit in 1987.  For a night song, the color written into the lines complements the wide intervals, broad bow strokes, and tempo changes which help to direct the beautiful, yet melancholic lines. Octaves play a large role in the substance of the melody, and tempo changes reflect the romanticism of the piece drawing the listener into the melody development.       Joanna Marie Frankel
