Vote for Elgar!

Posted by Sarah Canice Funke Mar 30, 2007

British composer Edward Elgar turns 150 this year, prompting the BBC to run a special series featuring the works of this composer. However, the BBC network is calling for listener/viewer participation to determine how the pieces should be ordered in the series. The most popular piece will be featured first in the series and so on. To help determine the line-up, simply go to the BBC's website and cast your vote. However, choose wisely. You can only vote once. Unfortunately the BBC does not provide brief clips for each piece, making participation difficult for anyone but aficionados of Elgar's music. However, everyone who has ever been to a graduation will be able to pick out Pomp and Circumstance, so hurry up and get your vote out today!
