Those crazy Russian composers. Where would we be without them. Thank you Sergey.

I agree with the first comment:

Russian composers are my favorite. They can be sweet as a butterfly in a meadow or so powerful that they can knock you right off a cliff.

Pomp and Circumstance by Edward Elgar

Elgar took the phrase "Pomp and Circumstance" from Act 3, Scene 3 of Shakespeare's Othello:

Farewell the neighing steed and the shrill trump,
The spirit-stirring drum, th'ear-piercing fife,
The royal banner, and all quality,
Pride, pomp, and circumstance of glorious war![1]

A: As in an opportunity to affect whole universe. Picture cosmic playing of "Pomp and Circumstance" AKA "Hope and Glory."

A: Exactly! We once said that it was a grand example of cosmic "Pomp and Circumstance". You simply do not have the full perspective!
