Based on a poem by T. E. Ellis = Thomas Evelyn Scott-Ellis (1880 - 1946); each section of each movement has headings from this source.

(The 36-minute version recorded on Hyperion is the 1923 revision, not the 1902?/1906-1908 original.)

Program note to the first performance refers to the concerto as a symphonic poem.

Is Op.36, performed at the Proms) 27 August 1903 as Concerto dramatique in F minor, a concerto later revised (maybe as this?)
