never seen one be4?

[p0mbal]

Nice to hear this, though it could be played faster. This is the vocal version which starts with the little-played verse which begins with the words "Dear land of hope, thy hope is crowned", written for the coronation of King Edward VII in 1901, but not sung until 1902 by Clara Butt in 1902. The verses are followed by the chorus which is the well known tune with the refrain "Land of Hope and Glory" using the tune from Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1 by Elgar, which the King liked.

[ZZSFAN]

Omg, i luv this song!

I'm trying to play it by ear in my guitar! :D

[grizzgrizzbear91]

im graduating this year :*( and just hearing this song is making me almost cry

[AdamTh1]

I agree with you on that.  This rendition is horrible.

[6digit]

there's a two version of graduation theme this and the other one which sounds so better and most played in every graduation ceremony, does anyone of you knows that ?

[bagongman]

Maybe you are referring to The Grand March by Verdi. It was a piece in a play called Aida.

[KingIronMan1]

I remember when I graduated I literally cried when I heard this and the funny thing was I was in my school orchestra playing this as well.

[InsaneButFunx43x]

aw this makes me want to cry...im graduating 8th grade tomorrow night :'(

[BroderickGoertzen]

Graduating 8th Grade... That's quite the accomplishment.

[ivoryzebra88]

I know it's a little late.

But hope it went well.

good luck

:)

This was played at my college commencement. It was cool because our conductor handed the baton to a student so that he could give each graduating band member a congratulatory hug. The professors and other faculty filed in then came the graduates. My friends and family all were beaming with pride. I had earned the right to wear the red cap and gown of our college! It was awesome! :)

[iCarly082]

I have to play this.... it sounds exactly the same.

[isleofcapri2]

[Lankha007]

[sweetiegirlguy2008]

lol i thought it was supposed to be slow so it has a majestic sound to it...

[moltoallegro19]

This is so slow, that when they returned to the "Land of hope and glory"-part the second time I almost thought they started playing Bach's Air on a G-string! Why aren't they playing it any faster, they don't look like a bad orchestra, I'm sure they could do it.

[Lankha007]

Nah they play it at the perfect speed ! I even think they should have done it a bit slower :-P

[hartman245]

could they have gone any slower?

[ButterS38g]

Yeah they went really slow, not to mention it sounded like they started in a different key than what Ive traditionally heard!

[tonester08]

lol doomMCMV, this is an english song through and through

[DoomMCMV]

RANDY SAVAGE! OOH YEAH! xD
