| Performance Notes | Premiere of 'Coronation March: Ethiopia Saluting the Colours', Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, specially composed for this concert.
Over 300 members of Mr George Risleys's Male Voice Choir from Bristol took place in the concert.
World premiere of 'Land of Hope and Glory', Edward Elgar, sung by Dame Clara Butt.
"Dr Elgar's song, "Land of Hope and Glory", sung by Mme Clara Butt. The thme is derived from the now famous trio of the March in D (Pomp and Circumstance), and it has a splendid swing, and is a remarkably striking expression of joyfulness, tinged with solemnity.
