Re: "Marches, by definition, are to be played at a walking pace,..." - when played by an orchestra in a concert setting it's more than OK to vary the tempo and dynamics.
Its Land of Hope and Glory which is actually the English national anthum. Its in March 1. No idea why america uses it for graduation. Maybe its to remind you all that your'e all English really;)
actually you are wrong. If you watch the coomonwealth games etc its played as the english national anthem and God Save te Queen is used for Britain! Football and Rugby use God save th3e queen but they are the exception.
Actually you are wrong. If you only knew that England doesn't currently have a national anthem and God Save the Queen and Land of Hope and Glory are used interchangeably as "anthems" then you could have been right.

People need to understand what context Pomp and Circumstance is in. It's about glory, victory, and the valor of war from the classical perspective.

HappyWandy457, marches of this kind are not ment to march at all: It is simply a marvelous piece of music wonderfully interpreted.

Marches, by definition, are to be played at a walking pace, generally no more than 120 bpm, and the tempo should be steady.
This sprint through the introductory strains to get to the more lyrical bits is utterly inexcusable!

Royal Philharmonic has always been number one. Their interpretation of this marvelous classic is beyond compare. Bravo! Elgar was a genius.

Number 2 is my least favorite of all of them. Only because numbers 1, 3, and 4 all tie for 1st. Its still awesome none the less.

Wait... In the description it mentions "The composer Charles Villers Stanford..." If Stanford composed it, what did Elgar do?

@soaper4
Stanford was one of Elgar's contemporaries. He didn't write the march, he was simply commenting on it.

# 1 is the most famous, #4 is the best (IMO), but #2 is my favorite.
