(Vatican Radio) - English composer Sir Edward Elgar , says Monsigner Philip Whitmore,
once wrote a Nursery suite dedicated to two young princesses, Elizabeth and Margaret,
and their mother.
"Elgar jotted down a few notes about each movement in the
suite."The first one", he said, "should call up memories of happy and peaceful awakenings:
the music flows in a serene way ; a fragment of a hymn tune is introduced, a hymn
written for little children when the composer was a youth."
