Pomp & Circumstance (Elgar) • New Easy Favorite Edition

The New Easy Favorite Series is a collection of enduring classics arranged for the beginning piano student. The titles are thoughtfully arranged with the limitations of the beginner in mind and are printed on heavy stock designed to last for many years.

Each piece captures the elegant beauty, rich harmonies, and unique textures of the original work while maintaining an easy-to-read and easy-to-play structure designed to expose the beginner to a complete collection of the world’s most popular and recognizable classics.

In this case we present POMP & CIRCUMSTANCE by Edward Elgar. This majestic theme was Elgar’s first installment in a series of Military Marches written for Britain in 1901 and over a century later, still plays a major role at every graduation ceremony in America.

Pomp and Circumstance is synonymous with the Cap and Gown as a simple melody and processional fanfare that is familiar to everyone.
