The Kingdom: An Oratorio is a musical composition created by the renowned English composer Edward Elgar in 1906. The oratorio is a sacred work that tells the story of the early Christian church, focusing on the events of Pentecost and the spread of the gospel to the world. The Kingdom is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on the disciples' preparation for their mission and the second part depicting the triumph of Christianity.The work is scored for a large orchestra, chorus, and soloists. The vocal parts are written in English and are based on biblical texts and poetry by Elgar's wife, Alice. The music is characterized by its grandeur and soaring melodies, with Elgar's signature use of brass and percussion to create dramatic effect.The Kingdom was first performed in Birmingham in 1906 and was well-received by audiences and critics alike. It has since become a popular work in the choral repertoire and is often performed in concert halls and churches around the world. The Kingdom is considered one of Elgar's greatest works, showcasing his mastery of orchestration and his ability to create powerful and moving musical narratives.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A tour de force for any cellist, Elgar's magnificent Cello Concerto is performed more frequently than any other except that of Dvorak.

Elgar's Serenade for Strings is a youthful work full of charm and elegance. Completed in 1892, it is most likely a reworking of a suite Elgar had written some years earlier and has been a long-standing favorite of string orchestras and audiences worldwide ever since its publication the same year. Even though the first known public performance was given in Antwerp on July 21, 1896, at least one movement was performed in Worcester by the Worcester Ladies' Orchestral Class in March 1892 under the composer's direction. Richard W. Sargeant, Jr.'s newly engraved edition showcases this brilliant work and is available for the enjoyment of professionals and amateurs alike. IMSLP page Wikipedia article

Elgar produced orchestral arrangements of three items (Nos.1, 3 and 6) from his own set of six songs for chorus and orchestra entitled "From the Bavarian Highlands" in the wake of the successful premiere at the Worcester Festival in April of 1896. The original settings, with text by Alice Elgar, were completed by April of the previous year and no doubt inspired by the Elgars' summer holidays spent in Garmisch, Bavaria. The orchestral suite was given its first performance at London's Crystal Palace on October 23, 1897 under August Manns.
