↑ J. F. Porte, in his critical book Sir Edward Elgar, asserts that Elgar wrote two songs in his Op. 5, but does not name either: "The two numbers comprising Opus 5 are to be commended to those who would see how a great composer commenced his contributions to the world of song."
1 2 Frederick G. Pedley was (according to the 1881 census) a warehouseman from Worcester, two years older than Elgar. He was an amateur singer, and gave the first performance of "A Soldier's Song" at a Worcester Glee Club meeting in 1884

The family emigrated to New Zealand where he, his brothers, their wives and other family (known as "The Brescian Family") made their living in the theatre, which included the novelty of a moving picture show or bioscope as it was called. He died in Adelaide, Australia. His most well-known song (he wrote the lyrics and the music) is called "Come back to me" which was sung by his sister Florence Hayward.

1 2 3 Elgar made four visits to the USA: the last in 1911. He wrote three songs: "The Merry-go-round" for (children's) voices in unison with piano accompaniment; "The Brook" a simple two-part song with piano accompaniment; and "Windlass Song" for four-part voices (SATB) unaccompanied. The songs were published by Silver, Burdett & Co. of New York City in "The Progressive Music Series", books Two (1914), Three (1915) and Four (1915) respectively. All three songs are short: "The Merry-go-round" 13 bars with two verses - the tune of this is simple and the notation unusually large, indicating that this was written for young children; "The Brook" 13 bars with three verses; and "Windlass Song" 14 bars with four verses. Elgar signed a schedule excluding their publication in any form apart from that series, and specifically not to be published outside the USA, though in 1921 Elgar gave permission for them to be published in the Canadian edition of that series.

↑ The Civic Fanfare was written for the mayoral procession at the opening of the Hereford Festival on 4 September 1927. The orchestration includes fanfares for the orchestral brass accompanied by wind and percussion; but the only strings which take part are violas, celli and double basses. The work was written to precede a performance of Elgar's transcription of 'God Save the King' and is ended by a side-drum roll which leads directly into the National Anthem, when the violins join the full orchestra and choir in a triumphant entry.
