Why ‘Pomp and Circumstance’ is played at every graduation ceremony in America

We're all familiar with Pomp & Circumstance, the graduation song that's the official soundtrack of almost every commencement. But how did it get so big?


  1. I've always loved Elgar's music, so "Land of Hope & Glory" or "Pomp & Circumstance" will forever be one of my favorite classical pieces! Thanks for the background!

  2. Excellent explanation. Thanks for all the hard work! Hope the mind worm has wiggled out!
