“Rarely, rarely, comest thou, Spirit of Delight!”
Sir Edward Elgar prefaced the score to his Symphony No. 2 with that quotation, lifted from a poem by Shelley.
I hear you, Sir Edward.
We’ll have a chance to listen to the symphony, among other selections today, between noon and 4 p.m. EDT, on WWFM – The Classical Network and at wwfm.org.
