		The Pomp and Circumstance Marches are, of course, amongst Elgar's best-known works and the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra under James Judd relish every note of the famous "big tunes".
		As in the Pomp and Circumstance works the balance of the various orchestral sections is excellent and the overall sound of the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra is admirable.
		The Pomp and Circumstance Marches are presented in performances as good as you will hear anywhere else, thoughtfully controlled and not just blasted with bombast, but the other works are really where the interest lies more.

	Pomp and Circumstance Marches - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The title is taken from Act III of Shakespeare's Othello: "Farewell the neighing steed, and the shrill trump,/ The spirit-stirring drum, the ear-piercing fife,/ The royal banner, and all quality,/ Pride, pomp, and circumstance of glorious war!".
		Elgar left sketches for a sixth Pomp and Circumstance march, and these sketches were turned into a performing version by the English composer Anthony Payne in 2006.
		In the United States, March No. 1 is sometimes know simply as "the graduation song", and is irrevocably associated with graduation ceremonies.

	Elgar - His Music : Pomp and Circumstance Marches
		The fourth march, probably the best known after the first, suffered a similar fate when, during the Second World War, the author A P Herbert provided patriotic verses beginning "All Men Shall be Free..." for the trio section of that march.
		The mood of the three lesser known marches is substantially different from that of marches 1 and 4, displaying a restlessness and measure of diffidence in contrast to the confidence and swagger of their better known companions.
		It is essential that the five marches are considered and heard as a suite rather than as a somewhat arbitrarily assembled collection of discrete pieces, to be dipped into and sampled separately.

	Pomp and Circumstance
		Pomp and Circumstance is a famous and traditional march by England’s Sir Edward Elgar that is familiar to anyone who has ever attended a high school or college graduation.
		Pomp and Circumstance is kind of a progression.
		The fifth march was not introduced until 1930 and was based on ideas he had jotted down many years earlier.

	Elgar - Pomp and Circumstance March No. 4 in G - bhso.org.uk
		Elgar affected diffidence as to the quality of the No. 4 march: he wrote to his publisher that the first part was “good: the middle rot but pleasing to march to”.
		The fifth and last Pomp and Circumstance march, which appeared as late as 1930, is felt by many to be the greatest of them all, with a subtle introduction giving way to a melody so soaring that – perhaps mercifully – no serious attempt has been made to give it words.
		So, with their varied moods, the Pomp and Circumstance marches need to be heard and appreciated as a set, whereupon it becomes clear that their intent is not nearly as straightforwardly militaristic and patriotic as Elgar implied.

		The Proms would not be the Proms without the Pomp and Circumstance March No 1 (Land of Hope and Glory), which annually rouses the crowd at the Last Night to raucous patriotic singing.
		Five Pomp and Circumstance marches were completed by Elgar.

		Four of the five Pomp and Circumstance Marches that Elgar completed belong to the Edwardian era, when the sun never set on the British empire and the Shakespearean title, a quote from Othello about the "pride, pomp and circumstance of glorious war", chimed perfectly with the mood of imperial Britain.
		But, when Elgar added the fifth march in the late 1920s and then, around 1930, made preliminary sketches for a sixth to complete the set, the horrors of the first world war had destroyed all those certainties forever and made the whole idea of a military march a much more queasy prospect.
		There seems something almost hesitant about the main theme of the march itself - brittle, short-breathed and without a trace of a swagger - and a rather melancholy nobilmente melody appears in the trio.

		Sir Edward Elgar composed Pomp and Circumstance -- the title comes from a line in Shakespeare's Othello ("Pride, pomp, and circumstance of glorious war!") -- in 1901.
		Elgar's march was used for the coronation of King Edward VII.
		It first became associated with graduations in 1905, when it was played when Elgar received an honorary doctorate from Yale University in 1905, but it was played as a recessional, not as a processional, at the ceremony.

		In America today the tune of the trio from Pomp and Circumstance No. 1 is just as familiar as it is in Britain, but the words are virtually unknown.
		Transatlantic involvement with the March began on 28 November 1902, when Elgar’s great American champion, Theodore Thomas, conducted the Chicago Orchestra in its U.S. première at the Auditorium Hall in Chicago.
		By the mid-1920s it was being performed by many others, and today it is heard at graduation ceremonies throughout the country, both at colleges and at high schools.

		Finally, Elgar's "Pomp and Circumstance, Marches #1, 2, 3, and 4" plays behind a rendition of the story of Noah's Ark with Donald Duck in the role of an assistant to Noah.
