Pomp and Circumstance

Edward Elgar

For clarinet and piano

Written in D major, range E3 to G5

A packed hall rises to its feet as the big tune swells, broad and singing, then comes back higher and grander, as if everyone had joined in. In 1902 Elgar used the tune again in his Coronation Ode, with A. C. Benson’s words “Land of Hope and Glory”; the piano part follows Edwin H. Lemare’s organ version (1902).
