Wood The son of a church organist, who also kept. a small music shop at Broadheath Worcester, Sir Edward Elgar received hardly any formal musical training, yet by the time he was in his teens he could play half a dozen instruments, and at fifteen was maintaining himself by playing in an orchestra, writing quadrilles at five shillings a-piece, and scoring minstrel songs at eighteen pence a time. From such small beginnings, with undaunted courage in the face of obstacles and very little encouragement, he won his way to recognition as one of the most original musical composers since the days of Purcell. 8.57 Dominion and district weather reports, and station notices 9. 0 NBS Newsreel: A digest of the day’s news
