Autograph musical quotation signed ('Edward Elgar'), the theme for the trio of the Pomp and Circumstance March no.1 in D ('Land of Hope and Glory'), n.d.
Elgar's most famous melody.

Two bars in B flat on a single printed stave under the printed date 'June 2' (Elgar's birthday), his year of birth, '1857', added in autograph, one leaf, approx. 120 x 70mm, evidently cut down from a page from a birthday album. Mounted and framed (not examined out of frame).

Provenance:
(1) Alfred and Edith Loewenberg, London (as noted by:)

(2) Musikantiquariat Dr. Ulrich Druener, Andere ausgewählte Sammlerstücke (December 2019), no 22.

(3) Schøyen Collection, MS 5617.

Elgar originally composed the melody as the theme for the trio of the Pomp and Circumstance March no.1 in D (1901): after it attracted the attention of the new king, Edward VII, he adapted it in the following year as the chorus for the last section of his Coronation Ode, with the famous words 'Land of Hope and Glory' (by A.C. Benson). It featured in the last night of The Proms concerts as early as 1905, and has been played as part of the standard programme for the the last night of the Proms since 1947.
