Pomp and Circumstance (Graduation March) by Edward Elgar Acoustic Guitar - Digital Sheet Music
By Edward ElgarThe arrangement uses "Drop D" tuning--with the sixth string tuned to low D.
The classic graduation march by English composer Edward Elgar--it's the "Trio" section of his full March No.1--arranged for fingerstyle classical guitar (easy intermediate level), by Bradley Powell, a professional classical guitarist who records (with over 12 albums) as "The Candlelight Guitarist." This piece is played at virtually all graduation ceremonies, and was used in the graduation ceremony in the film "Forrest Gump." The arrangement uses "Drop D" tuning--with the sixth string tuned to low D. The difficulty level is comparable to (or even easier than) most Sor or Giulianai etudes. This is written in TAB plus standard notation. (A version of this arrangement in standard notation only, without TAB, is available separately.)

At 15, he became a protégé of jazz guitarist Joe Pass, and later studied classical guitar under Vincent Macaluso and at California State University, Northridge under Ronald Purcell, with a master class under Andrés Segovia. Brad was featured performing Gerald Wilson's Sonata for Guitar and Orchestra at the Hollywood Bowl, with the composer conducting. Brad was mentored in composition by David Rose (composer for "Little House on the Prairie"). Brad has composed music for TV, including Hill Street Blues and The 'A' Team, working with Mike Post. Brad has twelve albums as The Candlelight Guitarist. When not making music, Brad is often out hiking with his four dogs. Brad has also played as the solo guitarist for Disney's Princess Breakfast Adventure at Disney's Grand Californian Resort by Disneyland (March 2019 to January 2024), providing music for the Disney Princesses (Belle, Tiana, Jasmine, Rapunzel, Mulan, Aurora, Ariel, Pocahontas, Cinderella, and their friends and guests).
