Zapping Sinkhole; at the very least, this needs explanation regarding how it's relevant to this example.

* The Pomp and Circumstance Marches rank as some of the most stirring music ever composed by an Englishman. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moL4MkJ-aLk No.1 in D major]] is by far the most famous ([[Wrestling/RandySavage Ooh yeah!]]), having become a staple of graduation ceremonies across the pond (a tradition which began when Yale University presented Elgar with an honorary doctorate in 1905), a fixture of the Last Night of the Proms (in its vocal arrangement as "Land of Hope and Glory"), and a regular chorus in the stands at sporting events in Elgar's homeland. Almost as awesome is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAU5vD7LC9w No.4 in G major]], which, like No.1, alternates an uptempo march with a hymn-like melody that swells with majesty when it returns near the end.

There is such a thing as overdoing it when it comes to subpage creation. Leaving that aside, saying a track "deserves a mention" is Word Cruft.

* Symphony No.1 in A-flat major also deserves a mention. Its opening is superb. It begins with muted timpani, and then branches into a glorious, stately theme, played pianissimo at first, but it starts increasing in volume, and then it gets taken up by the full orchestra, played fortissimo. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRzCVh-3OT0 The effect is glorious.]]

Music/EdwardElgar is perhaps England's most popular composer, and has plenty of awesome music to back up that title.

* The theme from the ''Enigma Variations'' forms the basis of "Clubbed to Death" as featured in ''Film/TheMatrix''.[[note]] The "enigma" of the title - the identity of the apparently familiar melody which Elgar imagined playing over the theme as he composed it, but which he politely declined to reveal - remains a mystery to this day.[[/note]] ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUgoBb8m1eE Nimrod]]'', a movement from the Variations, is achingly beautiful and has been used in many moving moments in film and TV, as well as being played by British military bands at services on Remembrance Day.

* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mcU89l2r38 Violin Concerto]] may be overshadowed by the Cello Concerto, but it is still 55 minutes of awesome. All three movements are positively overflowing with melodic goodness, and the violinist's extended time in the spotlight in the second half of the finale is an awesome moment for any soloist up to the challenge.
