Elgar's A Christmas Greeting and In the South

In this second Christmas special, and last episode of the calendar year, I played two pieces by Edward Elgar, firstly A Christmas Greeting and, then, In the South, from whose melody I drew parallels with Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol and what happens after the end of the book. Merry Christmas, everyone!
