Speak, Music!
Speak, Music! is a song written by the English composer Edward Elgar in 1901 as his Op.41, No.2. The words are from "The Song" in the book of verse "The Professor, and other poems" by A. C. Benson. It was dedicated to 'Mrs. Edward Speyer, Ridgehurst'. At about the same time Elgar wrote a song "In the Dawn", as his Op. 41, No. 1, with words from the same poem. The two songs were first performed in the Queen's Hall on 26 October 1901. Lyrics. SPEAK, MUSIC
