Product Description

The Wand of Youth Suites No. 1 and No. 2 are works for orchestra by Edward Elgar, first performed in 1907 and 1908 respectively. The titles Elgar gave them were, in full: The Wand of Youth (Music to a Child's Play) First Suite, Op. 1a (18691907) and Second Suite, (Op. 1b).

The music was drawn from material written by the composer in his youth and orchestrated forty years or so later.

This is mvt V from the second suite "The Tame Bear" arranged for wind quintet by me.

In 2/2 time, the C major movement is marked allegro moderato.

The music depicts a tame bear dancing to a tambourine.
Kennedy writes that the poignant mood of the movement is marked by the use of plagal cadences.
Elgar's wife commented that the music showed the composer's sympathy with "the poor bear captive, made to dance".
