In the Dawn


In the Dawn is a song written by the English composer Edward Elgar in 1901 as his Op.41, No.1.
The words are from the poem The Professor by Arthur Christopher Benson.
At about the same time Elgar wrote a song Speak, Music!, as his Op.41, No.2, with words from the same poem.
The two songs were first performed in the Queen's Hall on 26 October 1901. The cover of the song, published by Boosey & Co, indicates that it was sung by John Coates, who recorded the song in 1915.
