Isle of the Dead, Op. 29 by Sergei Rachmaninoff
Rachmaninoff completed this symphonic poem in 1909 while living in Dresden. In 1906, Rachmaninoff had expressed a desire to compose a symphonic poem for orchestra, but would struggle to decide on a subject for inspiration. The composer would search for ideas for almost two years until in May of 1907 he would see a black and white copy of the painting ‘Isle of the Dead’ by Arnold Böcklin.
The painting was so striking for Rachmaninoff, that it two years later in March of 1909, it would be the inspiration for this composition.
This work is comprised of a single movement.

Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1 in D by Sir Edward Elgar
Elgar composed a set of six ‘Marches’ in 1901, but only five were published during the composer’s lifetime.

The five marches that Elgar completed himself would be published between 1901 and 1930, however the sixth march, which was completed posthumously by composer Anthony Payne, was not published until 1956.
The first march includes the well known ‘Land of Hope and Glory’ in the final Trio section.
