Pomp and Circumstance

Edward Elgar

For trumpet and piano

Written in B♭ major, range G3 to F5

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).
