Hear thy children ...


(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."
