"Land of Hope and Glory" - British Patriotic Song [CORONATION ODE VERSION]

"Preserving history through music." Archivum Musicum Description: Land of Hope and Glory is a British patriotic song, with music by Edward Elgar written in 1901 and lyrics by A. C. Benson later added in 1902. The music to which the words of the refrain &of Hope and Glory, below are set is the &theme from Edward Elgar&Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1. The words were fitted to the melody on the suggestion of King Edward VII who told Elgar he thought the melody would make a great song. When Elgar was requested to write a work for the King&coronation, he worked the suggestion into his Coronation Ode, for which he used words provided by the poet and essayist A. C. Benson. The last section of the Ode uses the march&melody. Disclaimer: Strictly an apolitical channel.
