Elgar's five Pomp and Circumstance Marches were written between 1901 and 1930 with number 1 undoubtedly being the most popular of the five. King Edward VII told Elgar that the tune would go round the world if words were fitted to it. Elgar took the hint and included it (with slight rhythmic changes) in his Coronation Ode of 1902, with words by A. C. Benson. Thus was born Land of Hope and Glory which is now, of course, an integral part of the annual Last Night of the Proms, when the audience (with varying degrees of success!) sing the words along to the original march. Now your concert band can enjoy all the pomp and ceremony of the proms with this arrangement by Philip Sparke.

Add a little Latin flavor to your concert with this three-part suite by Roland Kernen. A Cha-Cha followed by a Bossa Nova and a Samba is guaranteed to have everyone's feet tapping - both audience and band. This would be a great piece to end a performance - to send everyone dancing on his or her way.
