Pomp and Circumstance op. 39/1 Military March No. 1 艾爾加 威風凜凜 進行曲 小提琴加鋼琴 朔特版

沒有這首進行曲的'舞會最後之夜'是不可想像的！愛德華-埃爾加（Edward Elgar，18571-1934 年）創作的《盛況空前第一號進行曲》（Pomp and Circumstance Military March No.1）的中段是讚美詩般的《希望與光榮之地》（Land of Hope and Glory），與通常作為維也納愛樂樂團新年音樂會壓軸曲目的《拉德斯基進行曲》一樣，屬於倫敦音樂盛會的壓軸曲目。與這首英國秘密國歌相比，埃爾加在 1901 年至 1907 年間創作的其他四首軍事進行曲的名氣和受歡迎程度都相形見絀（儘管《統治吧，不列顛尼亞！》可與之媲美）。它的確是一首同樣振奮人心、朗朗上口的樂曲，中間那段朗朗上口的曲調剛剛成為一首古典 "名曲"。多虧了這個版本，所有家裡沒有大型交響樂團的人現在都可以自己演奏這首激昂的進行曲了"

原文簡介:
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.
