For the audience in the Elgar Museum, in Lower Broadheath, Worcestershire, it’s a little bit of history: the first performance of two newly-discovered songs: The Mill Wheel and The Muleteer’s Serenade. ‘Really Elgar there – yes, I enjoyed them very much.’ ‘Very beautiful.’ ‘It was different.’ ‘Delightful!’ ‘Not ground-breaking Elgar, but very pleasant…’ he songs were found in the British Library by researchers working on a Complete Elgar Edition. ‘ it’s rare to find two previously unknown songs: it’s usually songs already known; or manuscripts. ‘Quite a discovery!’ ‘There are no other recordings to listen to. Elgar's wife worte the words for, 'The Mill Wheel' in 1896.
