”Through the Long Days” is a song written by the English composer Edward Elgar in 1885 as his Op.16, No.2. The words are from a poem by the American writer and statesman John Hay. The song was composed when Elgar was on holiday at the home of his friend Dr. Charles Buck at Settle between 10–31 August 1885. It was in memory of a mutual friend, Jack Baguley, who had just died.〔Young, p.6〕 The song, together with Like to the Damask Rose, was first performed by Charles Phillips at St. James's Hall on 25 February 1897. It was first published by Stanley Lucas (London) in 1887, dedicated to the Rev. E. Vine Hall,.〔The Rev. E. Vine Hall was Minor Canon at Worcester Cathedral, active in musical life in Worcester, and known to have conducted some of Elgar's works in 1888〕 When he received the first copies from the publisher, Elgar inscribed one of them to "Miss Roberts from Edward Elgar, Mar 21 1887".〔Alice Roberts was later his wife. Moore, p.119〕 It was re-published by Ascherberg in 1890, then in 1907 as one of the ''Seven Lieder of Edward Elgar'', with English and German words. ==Lyrics== ''German words by Ed. Sachs'' Elgar expanded the original poem, which had just the first three lines of each verse. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Through the Long Days」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
