A 'Last
Night of the Proms'
without this march -
unthinkable! 'Pomp and
Circumstance Military
March No. 1' with its
middle section, the
hymn-like 'Land of Hope
and Glory' by Edward
Elgar (1857-1934),
belongs to the finale of
the London music event
like the Radetzky March
usually played as last
piece to the New Year's
Concert of the Vienna
Philharmonic Orchestra.
The fame and popularity
of the other four
military marches composed
by Elgar between 1901 and
1907 fade in comparison
to this secret national
anthem of Great Britain
(although strongly
rivalled by 'Rule,
Britannia!'). It is,
indeed, an equally
rousing and catchy piece
of music, and the catchy
tune in the middle has
just become a classical
'hit'. Thanks to the
present edition, all
those who do not have a
large symphony orchestra
at home can now play this
rousing march by
themselves.
