Oh, soft was the song
Oh, soft was the song is a song with words by Gilbert Parker set to music by the English composer Edward Elgar in 1910, as his Op. 59, No. 3.
It is the second and last verse of a poem" At Sea" which Parker published in Volume I of a series of poems called" Embers".
The Opus 59 songs were part of a song- cycle of six romantic songs by Parker that was never completed – Nos 1, 2 and 4 were never composed.
The other songs were" Was it some Golden Star?" and" Twilight".
The songs were originally written with piano accompaniment, but this was later re-scored by the composer for full orchestra.
The songs were composed between December 1909 and January 1910, and published by Novello's in 1910.
Elgar's friend Edward Speyer sent him as a Christmas present some music scores of Beethoven String Quartets, and when Elgar thanked Speyer he added to his letter a quotation from Beethoven's Op.59 No.3.

Edward Elgar
Sir Edward William Elgar, 1st Baronet, (2 June 1857 – 23 February 1934) was an English composer, many of whose works have entered the British and international classical concert repertoire.
Among his best-known compositions are orchestral works including the "Enigma Variations", the "Pomp and Circumstance Marches", concertos for violin and cello, and two symphonies.
He also composed choral works, including "The Dream of Gerontius", chamber music and songs.
He was appointed Master of the King's Musick in 1924.
Although Elgar is often regarded as a typically English composer, most of his musical influences were not from England but from continental Europe.
He felt himself to be an outsider, not only musically, but socially.
In musical circles dominated by academics, he was a self-taught composer; in Protestant Britain, his Roman Catholicism was regarded with suspicion in some quarters; and in the class-conscious society of Victorian and Edwardian Britain, he was acutely sensitive about his humble origins even after he achieved recognition.
He nevertheless married the daughter of a senior British army officer.
She inspired him both musically and socially, but he struggled to achieve success until his forties, when after a series of moderately successful works his "Enigma Variations" (1899) became immediately popular in Britain and overseas.
He followed the Variations with a choral work, "The Dream of Gerontius" (1900), based on a Roman Catholic text that caused some disquiet in the Anglican establishment in Britain, but it became, and has remained, a core repertory work in Britain and elsewhere.
His later full-length religious choral works were well received but have not entered the regular repertory.
In his fifties, Elgar composed a symphony and a violin concerto that were immensely successful.
His second symphony and his cello concerto did not gain immediate public popularity and took many years to achieve a regular place in the concert repertory of British orchestras.
Elgar's music came, in his later years, to be seen as appealing chiefly to British audiences.
His stock remained low for a generation after his death.
It began to revive significantly in the 1960s, helped by new recordings of his works.
Some of his works have, in recent years, been taken up again internationally, but the music continues to be played more in Britain than elsewhere.
Elgar has been described as the first composer to take the gramophone seriously.
Between 1914 and 1925, he conducted a series of acoustic recordings of his works.
The introduction of the moving-coil microphone in 1923 made far more accurate sound reproduction possible, and Elgar made new recordings of most of his major orchestral works and excerpts from "The Dream of Gerontius".
Twilight (Elgar)
Twilight is a song with music by the English composer Edward Elgar written in 1910 as his Op. 59, No. 6.

The Opus 59 songs were part of a song- cycle of six romantic songs by Parker that was never completed – Nos 1, 2 and 4 were never composed.
The other songs were" Oh, soft was the song" and" Was it some Golden Star?".
The songs were originally written with piano accompaniment, but this was later re-scored by the composer for full orchestra.
The songs were composed between December 1909 and January 1910, and published by Novello's in 1910.
The first performance was by Muriel Foster at the Jaeger Memorial Concert in the Queen's Hall on 24 January 1910.

Inside the Bar
” Inside the Bar" is a song written in 1917 by the English composer Edward Elgar, with words by Sir Gilbert Parker.
It was published by Enoch& Sons in 1917.
In its original version it is a part- song for four baritones with a piano part marked" accompaniment ad lib.", but it was also arranged by the composer as a song for solo voice with piano accompaniment, and for a group of two tenors and two basses.
It is sub-titled" A Sailor's Song", and dedicated to the singers Charles Mott, Harry Barratt, Frederick Henry and Frederick Stewart, following their successful performances of Elgar's" The Fringes of the Fleet".
It was first performed at the Coliseum Theatre in London, on 25 June 1917.
The song was added to" The Fringes of the Fleet" songs for the provincial tour of that year, with Charles Parker replacing Charles Mott who had been called upon to serve in the army.
It tells the story of a sailor's longing for a safe harbour and his girl.
Notably, with its juxtaposition to the" Fringes of the Fleet" songs, it makes no reference to the wartime role of sailor or ship.
The song's first dedicatee, Charles Mott, was killed on 22 May 1918 in the World War I action in France.
Three other poems by Parker:" Oh, soft was the song Twilight" and" Was it some Golden Star?" had earlier been set to music by Elgar, as part of his Op. 59 song- cycle in 1910.
