Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1 艾尔加 进行曲

埃尔加六首进行曲中最著名的《D大调第一进行曲》完成于1901年7月。正如埃尔加对一位朋友说的那样："我有一首曲子能把他们打扁------把他们打扁！......这样的曲子一生只有一次......。这首曲子于 1901 年 10 月在利物浦首演，几天后在伦敦重演。演奏结果非常轰动，不得不再演奏第三遍，以恢复观众的秩序。在美国，"希望与荣耀之地 "三部曲通常被简称为 "盛会进行曲 "或 "毕业进行曲"，在许多高中和大学的毕业典礼上作为游行曲目演奏。该曲于 1905 年首次在耶鲁大学演奏，埃尔加应邀参加了该校的毕业典礼并获得荣誉音乐博士学位。这一交响乐队版本由 M.J. Retford 转录，并由 Alfred Reed 编辑和修订。(6:00)

原文简介:
The most well-known of the Elgar's six marches, March No. 1 in D, was completed in July 1901. Its central melody hails from before these dates, and as Elgar told a friend, "I've got a tune that will knock 'em flat---knock 'em flat! . . . a tune like that comes once in a lifetime . . ." It was premiered in October 1901 in Liverpool and was repeated in London a few days later. The result was sensational and had to be played a third time to restore order to the audience. In the United States, the trio section "Land of Hope and Glory" is often known simply as "Pomp and Circumstance" or as "The Graduation March" and is played as the processional tune at many high school and college graduation ceremonies. It was first played in 1905 at Yale University, where Elgar had been invited to attend commencement and receive an honorary doctorate of music. This edition for symphony band was transcribed by M.J. Retford and edited and revised by Alfred Reed. (6:00)
