Eleana Menuhin finds herself constantly being pushed towards excelling in music by her father, for reasons not known to her. Reasons that may require her to uncover the secrets contained within a century-old composition, deemed unsolvable by some of the brightest minds in musical history. There are a million permutations of cracking the code, of which only one can be the true solution. Here lies an exceptional puzzle, enciphered by an ingenious maverick of a classical composer - Sir Edward Elgar.
How far will an artist go to conceal his deepest, most vulnerable secret in a tune sung regularly by the world's greatest religious leaders? How much is an overshadowed brother willing to sacrifice to regain lost glory? What do we see when we delve below the depths of music’s gentle surface to expose an ocean of enigmas?
The Search for Serenata answers all this and more. It takes you on a journey through clever codes and crazy composers. It involves a retired conductor with a dark past, an underrated musical teacher with an indelicate sense of humour, an impulsive young woman with several unanswered questions, and a deadly secret society with an obsession for musical cryptography - that has long crossed the borders of insanity.
