The Elegy for 24 Violins and Organ is a piece of music composed in 1908 by Frederick Corder. It was first performed that same year at the Queen's Hall in London. It first appeared in print in 1910, dedicated to the memory of Victor Harris, a child prodigy violinist who had become a sensation in England and passed away in 1908 at the age of 13. An average performance of the piece lasts seven minutes. Frederick Corder (26 January 1852 – 21 August 1932) was an English composer and music teacher. Corder was born in Hackney, the son of Micah Corder and his wife Charlotte Hill. He was educated at Blackheath Proprietary School and started music lessons, particularly piano, early. Later he studied with Henry Gadsby. After that, he studied harmony with Claude Couldery. Frederick Corder continued his studies at the Royal Academy of Music, where he studied with George Alexander Macfarren (harmony and composition), William Cusins (piano) and William Watson (violin). In 1875, he earned a Mendelssohn Scholarship, which enabled him to study for four years abroad. He spent the first three in the Cologne Conservatory in Cologne, Germany, where he studied composition with Ferdinand Hiller and piano with Isidor Seiss. He spent his last year in Milan, Italy without formal instruction. He did, however, meet Arrigo Boito and Giuseppe Verdi. Upon his return to England, in 1879, he became a conductor at the Brighton Aquarium. In August 1884, for a single month, he filled in for William Robinson as musical director with D'Oyly Carte Opera Company, touring Patience and Iolanthe. Corder became professor of composition at the Royal Academy of Music in London,[3] becoming the Academy's curator in 1889. His students included notable British composers like Granville Bantock, Arnold Bax, York Bowen, Alan Bush, Eric Coates, Benjamin Dale and Joseph Holbrooke, as well as his own son, Paul Corder. See List of music students by teacher: C to F#Frederick Corder. With others, Frederick Corder co-founded the Society of British Composers in 1905 and served as its first chairman. He developed an early fascination with Richard Wagner and produced with his wife the first accepted English translations of The Ring and other works by Wagner. His own compositions included songs, operas, and cantatas. Corder's Prospero overture can be heard on CD and is available in full score. Corder married Henrietta Walford, the daughter of Henry Walford on 25 September 1876. They had a daughter, Dorothea Charlotte (known as Dolly), born on 30 June 1878 (died in her nineties), and a son, Paul Walford, born on 14 December 1879 (died on 7 August 1942). Corder's sister, Rosa Corder, was a friend of Dante Gabriel Rossetti and painted his portrait. (http•••) Performer: Steve's Bedroom Band
