Featuring music of Elgar
THE 178th concert of Clitheroe Parish Church Organ Society will be largely devoted to the music of Elgar, who died 50 years ago. Saturday’s recital, by
the church’s own organist, Charles Myers, will also include a first perform ance of a transcription of a song by; Edgar Francis Day, who was assistant; organist of Worcester Cathedral for 50 years and knew Elgar well. There will be pieces by
Elgar’s musical friends, Herbert Brewer and Dr Herbert Sumsion, as well as Elgar’s 2nd organ sonata in B flat. This was arranged from the Severn Suite by Sir Ivor Atkins, who was organist at Wor cester Cathedral for many years. The programme is ' of
particular significance to Mr Myers, who sang as a treb le in Worcester Cathedral choir under Sir Ivor and started piano lessons with Mr' Day, later studying both piano and organ with P r Sumsion.
