ELGAR FOR SCHOOL ORCHESTRAS
Scores and parts of some of Elgar's shorter orchestral works are being made available in an edition suitable for
performance by school orchestras. Both Chanson de Matin and Nimrod are available to download
as a series of Sibelius files.
Because most of Elgar’s music published during his lifetime is now in the public domain, this edition is free of
charge to all users.
This edition comprises an exact transcription of the original score and a large set of separate orchestral parts
derived from the score. Some of the parts (e.g. horns, violas) exist in many transposed forms for alternative
instruments, in order to maximize the chances of adequate performance. In these transposed versions of parts, it will
be apparent that certain pitches may need to be played an octave higher, but this should not detract from overall
adequate performance.
A complete commentary on this edition of Chanson de Matin, and details of all the orchestral parts, can be
