Where Corals Lie a song by Sir Edward Elgar
Music by Edward Elgar (1899). Words by Richard Garnett (1835 1906) Yvonne Minton, mezzosoprano. (c) Decca Music Group Ltd, 2002 I have two recordings of this song this one and the wellknown version by Dame Janet Baker. The two versions (Janet Baker and Yvonne Minton) are rather different. Miss Baker sings it per the score indication: Allegretto, ma non troppo (56 bpm). Miss Minton takes it at about 65 bpm, some 20 faster. Personally I prefer the latter. The Baker version seems overly drawn
