Later the work was rescored for full orchestra and ultimately for concert band in this present arrangement. This band version was first performed in 2016 by the combined Wind Ensembles of Texas Lutheran University conducted by Beth Bronk.

The authorship of the six poems used in this song cycle is generally attributed to Petronius Arbiter (died ca AD66) Nero's Arbiter of Elegance and author of the Satyricon a comic novel with poems interspersed in the prosenarrative. William Arrowsmith author of a translation of the Satyricon wrote that '(The Satyricon)was clearly written not to be read silently but to be read aloud by a trained artist with a voice and virtuosity capable ofregistering the enormous variety of the work.' It is these considerations which were foremost in Elias' mind whilst writing the work - that they represent a great variety of verse forms and demonstrate a wide range offlexibility and style and that above all the Latin itself was very much alive and vibrant. Therefore the tenor part is thoughout the most important aspect of the work even though the orchestra does more than merelyaccompany. Each of the songs is different from the others and there are no more direct musical links except between III and IV. The music develops throughtout the work the sixth song containing distant memories of the first.

The first performance took place in June 1986 at St. Magnus' Cathedral Kirkwall as part of the tenth St. Magnus Festival.

In its strongly developed substance it asks to be measured in the company of Beethoven Brahms and Sibelius while there is also particularly in the middle movement a strong element of the Scots lament. The orchestra is generally muted in colour though there is a dramatic role for the timpanist. There are threemovements played without a break - this is only one of many connections with the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto. Duration c. 30mins.

The Elgar Complete Edition brings together for the first time all of the composer's surviving music from printed and manuscript sources.
