Hi! Today, I am going to talk about Pomp and Circumstance, which is called “Ifudodo” in Japanese. It was composed by Edward Elgar, a British composer. This piece is famous for its majestic and powerful melody. It is often played at graduation ceremonies, so many people feel emotional when they hear it. I performed this music at my university festival last week. Since we didn’t have much time to practice, I felt very nervous before the performance. However, my club members and I worked hard together to prepare for it. At first, I thought this music would be easy because the tempo is not so fast. However, I realized that it was difficult to express the strength and pride of this piece. We practiced many times to match our timing and balance the sound. On the day of the festival, the audience applauded loudly, and I was really happy. I want to continue improving my performance skills through more classical music.
