When Elgar's popular steamy song My Love Dwelt in a Northern Land was published in 1890, the market for such works was created by the competitive festival movement, which itself was fueled by a huge increase in the number of choirs. This wide selection includes some of Elgar's best songs, including his most famous work in the genre As Torrents in Summer, which boasts a catchy melody, the highly original and chromatic Owls, probably the strangest Elgar has ever created, and the ambitious and tonal There is Sweet Music, which the composer himself described as "clinker and the best thing I've done."
