FLUTE 1

Harmony Music No. 2

“Nelly Shed”
music by
EDWARD ELGAR
written 1878

for
2 Flutes, Oboe, Clarinet and Bassoon

This work is a single Allegro movement, longer and more ambitious than his first Harmony
Music. Elgar gave it the nickname “Nelly Shed” for Helen Weaver, to whom he was to
become engaged a few years later.

Transcribed by John Morrison, November 2020.
