error
[edit]If Mr. Greenfield was writing about The Spirit of England ending with Land of Hope and Glory, he was in error and possibly was confusing it with the earlier Coronation Ode. In any case, what is written here is certainly misleading and needs to be explained or corrected. I cannot supply a reference except actually listening to The Spirit of England.
What Elgar does quote in the first movement, at some length, is the Demon's Chorus from The Dream of Gerontius. This should be mentioned.
- Thank you very much for raising this. I'll scout about for references and add something suitable if I can. Tim riley talk 17:02, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
