A 'Last Night of the Proms' without this march - unthinkable! 'Pomp and Circumstance Military March No. 1' with its middle section, the hymn-like 'Land of Hope and Glory' by Edward Elgar (1857-1934), belongs to the finale of the London music event like the Radetzky March usually played as last piece to the New Year's Concert of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. The fame and popularity of the other four military marches composed by Elgar between 1901 and 1907 fade in comparison to this secret national anthem of Great Britain (although strongly rivalled by 'Rule, Britannia!'). It is, indeed, an equally rousing and catchy piece of music, and the catchy tune in the middle has just become a classical 'hit'. Thanks to the present edition, all those who do not have a large symphony orchestra at home can now play this rousing march by themselves.

Between 1917 and 1931 Ottorino Respighi harmonized and instrumented twelve works from the 16th- and 17th-century Italian and French lute literature and arranged the pieces into three 4-movement suites, under the title Antiche danze ed arie. He instrumented the first suite for chamber orchestra, the second for symphony orchestra and the third for strings. He also published six of the twelve movements in a piano arrangement. This publication in the Leggiero series is a 5-movement selection from the three suites, in making this free transcrip-tion, Ãrpád Pejtsik took account of both the orchestral and the piano versions. The level of difficulty of the works corresponds to thegeneral demands of the series. The viola part may also be played on a third violin. Ottorino Respighi harmonisierte und instrumentierte zwischen 1917-1931 zwölf Werke aus der italienischen und französischen Lautenliteratur des 16. und 17. Jahrhunderts. Er ordnete dann die Stücke unter den Namen: Antiche danze ed arie in drei jeweils viersätzige Suiten. Die erste Suite instrumentierte er für Kammerorchester, die zweite für ein Sinfonieorchester und die dritte für Streicher. Von den zwölf Sätzen gab er sechs auch als Klavierfassung heraus. Die in der Leggiero-Serie erscheinende Edition bildet eine fünfsätzige Auswahl aus den drei Suiten. Bei der freien Bearbeitung berücksichtigte Ãrpád Pejtsik sowohl die orchestrale als auch die Klavierversion. DerSchwierigkeitsgrad der Stücke stimmt mit den allgemeinen Anforderungen der Serie überein. Die Bratschenstimme kann auch von einer dritten Geigenstimme gespielt werden.
