This site, along with its partner valentinesideasforher.com, is to honor and
support the people, organizations and other entities interested in keeping the
legacy of this great composer alive and well in the memories of those who have
heard his magnificent classical music compositions and to ensure that his music
continues to be performed. Though the great man himself has passed on his music
will withstand the test of time. Our mission is to ensure that these great works
do not get lost, so that millions more around the world can enjoy the beautiful
works of Elgar. Our passion for classical music is the inspiration for this
site. It is a passion that is shared by many but is at risk of being lost if the
music is not preserved for current generations and those to follow to enjoy and
appreciate. It is with the aim of ensuring both Elgar’s compositions and
classical music in general do not lose their place in today’s world of music.
Elgar is considered to be England’s greatest composer of his generation, if not
of all time. His numerous works have been played through the decades at some of
the most prestigious concert halls both in the United Kingdom and abroad. His
continuing worldwide recognition as a composer of note is important not only to
England but to the classical music world at large. We aim to encourage the
continuing enjoyment of his music, both for musicians and for audiences alike.
We encourage classical music enthusiasts of all ages to explore the works of the
great composer and learn more about the interesting life Elgar lived, for he was
not only a great composer but very competent as a musician and conductor, as
well as a lover of literature. The man, his life, and his music must live on.
