EDITORS COMMENTS
This composite group portrait, dating back to approximately 1888, showcases the rich tapestry of Our National Music. A stunning assembly of 53 musical luminaries graces the concert stage, their collective presence a testament to the depth and diversity of the nation's musical heritage. Composers, conductors, instrumentalists, and vocalists, all eminent figures in their respective fields, come together in this remarkable image. Their expressions radiate a palpable sense of passion and dedication, as they prepare to share their art with the world. Among the esteemed composers, we find the likes of Edward Elgar, whose iconic "Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1" would later become synonymous with British pride. Alongside him stands Hubert Parry, whose "Jerusalem" would inspire the words of William Blake's "And did those feet in ancient time" and become a cherished national anthem. The conductors, such as Henry Wood and Thomas Beecham, stand tall and resolute, their batons poised to lead the orchestra through the intricacies of the musical masterpieces. Instrumentalists, including the virtuoso violinist Adela Maddison and the renowned cellist Alfredo Piatti, showcase their mastery of their respective instruments, their fingers dancing over the strings in a mesmerizing display of skill and artistry. Vocalists, too, hold pride of place on the stage, their voices raised in song. Dame Nellie Melba, a celebrated soprano, and the baritone Charles Santley, captivate the audience with their powerful and emotive performances. This composite portrait stands as a poignant reminder of the enduring power of music to bring people together, to inspire, to heal, and to celebrate the very essence of a nation's identity. The legacy of these musical pioneers continues to resonate through the ages, their music a living testament to the indomitable spirit of Our National Music.
