Elgar's Overture ' Froissart' was first performed at the Worcester Festival of 1890, and with it Elgar made his first appearance at a meeting of the Three Choirs. It was not, as may be thought, the result of a reading of Froissart's ' Chronicles '; rather was it inspired by recollection of a scene in Scott's ' Old Mortality ', in which Claverhouse tells Morton of the delights of reading the old historian.
