Military March No. 1. Composed by Edward Elgar. Arranged by Wolfgang Birtel. This edition: Sheet music. Edition Schott - Single Edition. Score. Op. 39/1. Schott Music - Digital #Q12422. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q12422).
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.
Une pièce musicale à la fois entraînante et évocatrice ; le passage central Land of Hope and Glory est devenu un hit” classique. Grâce à cette édition, ceux qui ne disposent pas chez eux d’un grand orchestre symphonique pourront enfin jouer eux-mêmes cette marche enflammée.
