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?

    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!
