English Poetry

The composer Sir Edward Elgar is primarily remembered for his orchestral music, some of which develops patriotic themes. Composers from England have not achieved recognition as broad as that earned by their literary counterparts, and, particularly during the 19th century, were overshadowed in international reputation by other European composers; however, many works of earlier composers such as Thomas Tallis, William Byrd, and Henry Purcell are still frequently performed throughout the world today.
