The Dream of Gerontius, Op. 38, is a work for voices and orchestra in two parts composed by Edward Elgar in 1900, to text from the poem by John Henry Newman. It relates the journey of a pious man's soul from his deathbed to his judgment before God and settling into Purgatory. Elgar disapproved of the use of the term "oratorio" for the work (and the term occurs nowhere in the score), though his wishes are not always followed. The piece is widely regarded as Elgar's finest choral work, and some consider it his masterpiece.

  • Il sogno di Geronte, op. 38, è un'opera per voci e orchestra in due parti e tredici movimenti, composta da Edward Elgar nel 1900, basandosi su un testo dal poema di John Henry Newman. Riferisce il viaggio dell'anima di un uomo pio dal suo letto di morte al suo giudizio davanti a Dio, risdolvendosi in Purgatorio. Elgar non approvava l'uso del termine "oratorio" per l'opera (e il termine non compare da nessuna parte nella partitura), sebbene i suoi desideri non siano sempre seguiti. Il pezzo è largamente considerato come il miglior lavoro corale di Elgar e alcuni lo considerano il suo capolavoro. (it)
  • The Dream of Gerontius, på svenska Gerontius dröm, är ett oratorium (opus 38) av Edward Elgar skrivet 1900 för mezzosopran, tenor, baryton, blandad kör och orkester. Elgar fick ett exemplar av dikten, som senare blev texten till The Dream of Gerontius, i bröllopspresent 1899. Dikten är skriven av kardinalen John Henry Newman och handlar om en mans själ efter döden. Gerontius kan ungefär översättas till gammal man. Inte förrän 1900 kom Elgar att påbörja komponerandet av oratoriet till 1900 års upplaga av Birminghamfestivalen, och detta i sista minuten eftersom han hade tänkt sig ett annat stycke. Detta först tänkta verk blev 1902–03 ett andra oratorium med titeln The Apostles. (sv)
