Classic FM: Land of Hope and Glory - Peter Gritton

Classic FM: Land of Hope and Glory is arousing collection of epic British music featuring some of the finest celebratory melodies ever composed, arranged for piano solo. From tunes which evoke the warmth of summer proms concerts, to the pomp and pageantry of a regal coronation, all the pieces in this collection are superbly arranged for intermediate level piano. Including Pomp & Circumstance March No.1, Rule Britannia, Nimrod, I Vow To Thee My Country and Jerusalem.

Land Of Hope and Glory, subtitled A Festival of Epic British Music, is a collection of 12 patriotic, celebratory British melodies. It includes everything you would expect, such as Jerusalem, I Was Glad, Rule Britannia and Crown Imperial. All are about Grade 4-6 standard and are arranged effectively By Barrie Carson Turner. These pieces capture memories of summer Proms and evoke the atmosphere of royal occasions. Really well arranged, they would give a pupil (probably an older, adult pupil) an enjoyable technical workout while playing tunes they know.

A wonderful selection of the most loved British festival pieces, in their glory.
