Subject: Land of Hope and Glory From: Ceeltic-End Singer Date: 08 May 98 - 11:41 AM Can anyone supply me with the lyrics for "Land of Hope and Glory" please? I was trying extensively to find it in the datbase and failed. For those of you who don't know the first line is: "Land of hope and glory, mother of the free." I think it was written by Elgar but has become a rather English jingoism. (The Conservative Party sing it at their national conference)

Subject: RE: Land of Hope and Glory From: aldus Date: 08 May 98 - 01:15 PM Is God Bless America Jingoism, or Waltzing Matilda or The Maple Leaf Forever or Scotland The Brave or The Patriot Game.........just asking . seems a rather strident description of a rather lovely song. |

Subject: RE: Land of Hope and Glory From: Frank Phillips Date: 08 May 98 - 02:41 PM I vaguely remember a quarter of a century ago hearing some members of the Calgary Saracen's Rugby club sing the melody to this song. However the words consisted of "Lloyd George knew my father, Father knew Lloyd George" repeated as many times as neccessary to match the melody. Try this a few times and you'll gain new appreciation for the original words, jingoistic or not. Frank Phillips |

Subject: RE: Land of Hope and Glory From: Pete M Date: 10 May 98 - 04:28 PM Just out of interest, Elgar wrote the music (Pomp and Circumstance March No 1, Op 39 in D major) not the words which were penned by A C Benson. And for the record I agree with Aldus, its no more jingoistic than any other "National" song (though I think "Advance Australia Fair" would be a more valid comparison than Waltzing Matilda) Pete M

Subject: RE: Land of Hope and Glory From: aldus Date: 11 May 98 - 02:01 PM Actually, Advance Australia Fair never struck me as in any way likle the others..it is not terribly moving and the words are a huge yawn... I was just thinking of things that automatically remind one of certain countries..none of the songs I did mention are National Anthems,but they are all Stirring pieces of music...that is why Advance Australia Fair was not Part of the list. |

Well we can"t have history tell the facts if the facts are out of fashion...it is not my grandparents I have difficulty understanding...it is us..... |

Subject: RE: Land of Hope and Glory From: masato sakurai Date: 11 May 03 - 04:52 AM Only the chorus to "Land of Hope and Glory" is sung to Elgar's "Pomp & Circumstance No. 1". An independent song sung by Clara Butt (rec. in 1912) is comprised of the 1st verse and chorus. Listen to it at Vintage Audio: Land of Hope and Glory. ~Masato |
