Land of Hope and Glory
"Land of Hope and Glory" is a British patriotic song, with music by Edward Elgar and lyrics by A. C. Benson, written in 1902.
==Composition==
The music to which the words of the refrain "Land of Hope and Glory, &c"〔It is only the music of the refrain that is in the first Pomp and Circumstance March. The words and music for the two solo verses was written and composed specially for the published song and is not in the Coronation Ode.〕 below are set is the "trio" theme from Edward Elgar's ''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's coronation, he worked the suggestion into his ''Coronation Ode'', for which he asked the poet and essayist A. C. Benson to write the words.〔 The last section of the ''Ode'' uses the march's melody.
Due to the King's illness, the coronation was postponed. Elgar created a separate song, which was first performed by Madame Clara Butt in June 1902. In fact, only the first of the seven stanzas of the Ode's final section was re-used, as the first four lines of the second stanza below. This stanza is the part which is popularly sung today.
