Edward Elgar Manuscript Found
The BBC reports of a score found that's been lost for 90 years.
From the piece...
The piece had been commissioned to accompany the opening of a bell tower in the town's Queen's Park in 1923.
Letters from the composer and a film reel, believed to be of the tower being opened, were also found.
Officers had been clearing out old files when they found a dusty unmarked folder containing the handwritten manuscript.
Titled Carillon Chimes, notes reveal the short piece had been prepared for the opening of the Carillon Tower in Queen's Park.
