Sir Edward William Elgar was a composer of the "Later Romantic" period -
Born - 2nd of June, 1857 in Lower Broadheath near Worcester, England.
Died - 23rd of February, 1934 in Worcester, England, of intestinal cancer.
Elgar wrote, what is commonly referred to as, classical music. The word classical, in music history, indicates a period that is generally accepted as being between the death of Bach, in the middle of the eighteenth century, and the death of Beethoven and Schubert, in the early part of the nineteenth century. This can be misleading, since music by composers like Bach, who lived in the early eighteenth century, and Elgar, who lived in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, are also referred to as classical music, even though neither of them composed in the classical period. Therefore, it is more correct to refer to the type of music that composers like Elgar, Beethoven and Bach wrote as art music, or Western art music.
Elgar was an English composer and is most noted for the graduation ceremony march "Pomp and Circumstance." He was an accomplished musician and wrote many other military marches.
