Then leap to battle for the right, Rise, haste thee, be not blind! Heave up thy sword of old to smite The tyrants of mankind. This was sketched on 1 January and completed on 13 August of that year, a month after No. It is considered by some to be the finest of the set, and was dedicated to Granville Bantock, the composer, conductor and, from , Musical Director of the Tower in New Brighton.
Edward Elgar - Pomp & Circumstance March No.1 Op 39 (score & parts)
It is invested throughout by a tense, nervous restlessness which is far removed from the opulence of the first. The opening exclamation is superseded by the restless strings. The trio section features a rather Schubertian tune on the woodwind over a swinging triplet accompaniment in the strings, and the coda is dominated by the brass.
Atkins gewidmet dedicated Ed. Subsequently the completed March was dedicated to him, giving him immense pleasure and pride. Possibly the least known of the set, the prevailing mood of the third March is restless and agitated rather than grandiose. Its introduction is the quintessence of the first two marches in that it is only when one listens to the third straight after them does one realize that the first two both have openings that are fundamentally tense and nervous.
Edward Elgar - Pomp and Circumstance March No.1 - Op.39 - A Full Score (Paperback)
After the dark-hued, turbulent march theme, the music comes to a halt and the expansively lyrical trio section emerges to bring more light and warmth into the score. Despite its inherent perkiness, it still retains a dignity and, after its recapitulation, the march grows in strength and vigour before ending with a rather brusque coda. It is dedicated to George Robertson Sinclair, who had been appointed organist at Hereford Cathedral in and who remained in that post for the rest of his life until he died in After the Trio, the March returns and then the Trio again.
Finally, with a sly smile, Elgar shows us that the Trio melody and the March theme can fit together in the lengthy coda. Herbert provided his Song of Liberty. He wrote two verses for the song, each followed by a refrain from which the song gets its title:. All men must be free, March for liberty with me. Brutes and braggarts may Have their little sway — We shall never bend the knee The newest street in London town, The Kingsway, the Kingsway!
The noblest street in London town, The Kingsway, the Kingsway! The noblest street in London town, The stir of life beats up and down; In serried ranks the sabres shine, And Art and Craft and Thought divine, All crowd and fill the great highway, The Kingsway, the Kingsway! On dreary roads in London town The sick and poor sink sadly down in gloom: The fifth March dates from although it was certainly sketched much earlier.

Despite arriving well towards the end of the composer's life, it is in many ways the most jaunty of the set, swinging along in a breezy six-eight. The Ordnance Survey map still survives on which Elgar jotted down the main theme of this march as he was motoring through Gloucester.
It is perhaps the only work he wrote after the First World War which recaptures the splendour and orchestral opulence of the earlier orchestral works. The time-signature imparts to the march a rhythmic swagger that never falters, although again the Trio theme adds a typical Elgarian tinge of mellow nostalgia to this glittering score.
