Talk:Pomp and Circumstance Marches

message: Would anyone consider adding the instrumentation of March No. 6 if a score is available? P0mbal (talk) 22:48, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

message: I have removed the :File:Pomp and Circumstance.ogg from the article; it's a horrible rendition made with the program GarageBand – a MIDI file converted to OGG. Even :File:Land of hope and glory.mid is less offensive (but still not suitable for inclusion). -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 06:07, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

message: The recent addition of consistent subheadings is a welcome improvement to the article's structure. The resulting very long table of contents is in my opinion an unfortunate side effect. It can be avoided in (at least) two ways: 1) use bolded headings using the ";" (semi-colon) markup for level 4 headings, or 2) limit the levels for the table of contents to 2 using the template . What do others think? -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 10:38, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, (1) would improve, giving subdivisions without indexing. P0mbal (talk) 11:49, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

message: Why is this phrase in quotation marks? It doesn't appear in anywhere else in the article, and it's not clear where it's quoted from. 2604:2000:EFC0:2:28C9:9497:C68B:2C0B (talk) 00:54, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: It's a reference to a famous quote from Francis Bacon's The Advancement of Learning (1605): poetry is "submitting the shows of things to the desires of the mind". How this relates to De Tabley's poem or to its choice by Elgar is anybody's guess. Unless some clarification can be added by further consulting the source, Maine (1993), that phrase should probably be removed. Maybe User:P0mbal who  that passage on 3 August 2008 can elaborate. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 01:46, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Many thanks are due for your great help here. I have added notes, with detail from you that I have lifted into the article. P0mbal (talk) 10:24, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I've just come to the article specifically to look up what the phrase "Pomp and Circumstance" means and where it comes from and have been left very confused by the "shows of things" phrase. I'd suggest it is removed. 90.242.190.27 (talk) 19:04, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: This has now been part of the article for more than 7 years without any objections. If this thought was significant enough for Basil Maine to mention, Wikipedia readers should not be denied to know about it. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 00:39, 4 September 2023 (UTC)

message: Could Alice have paraphrased De Tabley's poem "quoted" at the beginning of the article? Sorry Alice, if it were you, but your effort does not bear comparison. I have not investigated that possibility. Anyone? P0mbal (talk) 10:35, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

message: It might be worth mentioning that the arrangement of March No. 1 used in *high school* graduations is actually modified so it can be played with a high school band -- it's the Clare Grundman arrangement. StatsJunkie (talk) 01:52, 2 July 2017 (UTC)
