Bennett May Queen. Autograph musical notations from Edward Elgar and Landon Ronald on a leaf taken from an autograph album belonging to James Robert Sterndale Bennett (1847-1928), writer on music as well as son and biographer of the composer Sir William Sterndale Bennett. At the top of the page Elgar notates 4 bars from Bennett’s cantata, The May Queen, and adds, “(Beautiful) pageant music, May Queen, W. Sterndale Bennett,” then adds his signature with the date October 8, 1915.
