Piece Description

This piece, arranged by Bill Thorp, forms part of a group of Edward Elgar's much-loved salon pieces, that are as fresh and exquisite as when first conceived over a century ago. Chanson de Nuit evokes the (appropriately) Edwardian golden age, and will be ever-popular because it is so beautifully written.

Review: "This lovely arrangement is ideal for introducing the music of Elgar to students and is suitable for concerts, weddings and other occasions. For schools, colleges, conservatories, professionals." – New Issues December 1994

Biography

Thorp, Bill

Bill Thorp started arranging music, while still at school, as a member of a folk group in which he played string bass. More experience followed with a college based acoustic folk-rock bank, playing violin, viola and piano, which went on to work professionally for two years. Later, in a varied career which included performing with string quartets at some of London's pizza restaurants, he was prompted to arrange music especially for that grouping and situation. Nowadays his playing career ranges from appearing on Renaissance, Baroque and Classical Violin with most of London's period instrument groups, to odd recording sessions on country and western fiddle.
