| Description: Chanson de Nuit (originally titled “Night Song” by Elgar) is one of several short selections written by Elgar for violin and piano referencing a specific time of day. Chanson de Nuit utilizes the lower and middle range of the violin extensively, creating a thick, rich sound. The sonorous voicings and lush underpinnings are a large part of the timeless appeal of this piece. This is a superb work to engage orchestras in finessing ensemble balance, timbre, and dynamic nuances. G Major. |
