Elgar's "Pomp and Circumstance March No.1" - Audio + Full Score

pf: Eric Robinson cond/ National Philharmonic Orchestra

[@austinmccoy9743]

I find it funny that the actual chorus, the part the people really associate with Pomp and Circumstance, doesn’t start until almost two minutes in. But the intro is the best part if you ask me.

[@drummerflex]

This piece follows the march and trio form. The "intro" you speak of is the march and the "chorus" is the trio. The famous section is more of a secondary melody in the context of the piece.

[@varixalint]

Andrea Dobetti it’s literally labeled as trio if you look at the score

[@itsamusicthing]

I agree, I love the low reeds, horns, low brass, and low strings at 0:29

[@jtgd]

The same with 1812 overture. Everyone knows the ending. Imo, the beginning and middle is the best

[@MrMuppetLover]

2:51-3:49 and 4:57-6:00: Land of hope and glory Mother of the free How shall we extol thee Who are born of thee? Wider still and wider Shall thy bounds be set God, who made thee mighty, make thee mightier yet God, who made thee mighty, make thee mightier yet (Not British but love the song!)

[@danielparradicillo]

Then you are culturally British. Promot it, and share it with your contacts! :)

[@robertoortizespinoza795]

01:55 "The Throne Room" theme from Star Wars, A New Hope, 1977 is very similar. Edward Elgard was a strong inspiration in the music of John Williams. In particular for the soundtrack of this movie.

[@btf_flotsam478]

Holst also inspired John Williams. To be fair, I think it's more accurate to say he was influenced by classical music in general.

[@thenameisgsarci]

Ah yes, that march we use for graduation ceremonies...

[@vitogeraci7146]

If Wagner wrote this it would be called, “Abschlussmusik”

[@austinmccoy9743]

One of the hardest pieces I have played. Not because the notes are hard, but because it is fast, though tenor clef on the cello is a bit trickier, since we are normally in bass clef. Difficulties aside, it's an amazing song.

[@Metamario68]

Tenor clef is if bass clef and Bb instruments had a baby. Because the notes are positioned as if they're for clarinet but the key signature looks like it would for a bass clef (or C) instrument. Hope my weird reasoning makes sense😂

[@Stradivarius_Violin]

IT'S A PIECE NOT A SONG

[@daisyjohnson2723]

Poseidon I what a pretentious gatekeeping attitude. No wonder classic music is getting less and less popular.

It's 👏 a 👏 piece 👏

Elgar a genius of music composition! To write for just one instrument is something great, but for a whole orchestra, that's just amazing! All the composers of beautiful music, are given the gift of composition from God!

[@matthiasba2024]

Lovely, where is my cup of tea?

[@thejils1669]

The absolute greatest sections of this piece are at 3:35 and 5:42 where there is triumphant downward modulation in the horns and low brass to the dominant. Wonderful and most appropriate music composition.

It is absolutely impossible to read the orchestral score.

[@rawpotatofella9654]

No it's not

[@vahagnvardanyan]

It is possible, but it doesn't fully match the audio.

[@musik350]

Vahagn Vardanyan Well, it does

[@vahagnvardanyan]

RDVMusic No, it doesn't. The piccolos don't shriek and the horns are inaudible when in unison woth violins. The recording is slightly different in instrumentation than the score. (I was surprised than low clarinets' timbre could be audible under unison violins).

[@musik350]

Vahagn Vardanyan Well ok, thought you were referring to the structure

Jose Saavedra these are professionals what do you expect ???

[@Musicrafter12]

Oof. The orchestra at my graduation sounded... suspicious. Mostly because the best players were graduating.

[@trishalennex4630]

Highschool bands can sound good just normally with more peppy and more recognisable songs like Seven Nation Army

this would actually sound great in an assflute
