進入以上搜尋結果　觀賞數個影音檔　令我異常感慨～
為什麼英國人聽到這首歌都那麼振奮？
難道他們都不分藍綠嗎？在台灣－哪首歌會讓所有人也同樣讚頌呢？
有些人聽到〔中華民國頌〕會起雞皮疙瘩
也有些人耳聞〔台灣頌〕會訐聲連連
頌揚斯土斯民有錯嗎？

希望與榮耀之土
Land of Hope and Glory
A. C. Benson 1862-1925
Dear Land of Hope, thy hope is crowned.
親愛的希望之地，妳是被冠以希望的。

On Sov'reign brows, beloved, renowned,
在權威之顛，敬愛而聲名遠揚，
Once more thy crown is set.
再一次妳的榮冠被確定。
Thine equal laws, by Freedom gained,
藉由獲得的自由妳有了平等的法律，
Have ruled thee well and long;
已長期又良好地統治了妳們；
By Freedom gained, by Truth maintained,
藉由獲得自由和維持真理，
Thine Empire shall be strong.
妳們的王國將是強盛的。
Land of Hope and Glory,
希望與榮耀之土，
Mother of the Free,
自由的母親
How shall we extol thee,

Who are born of thee?

Wider still and wider Shall thy bounds be set;
妳的疆土會越來越廣；
God, who made thee mighty,

Thy fame is ancient as the days,
妳的名聲像時間一樣古老，
As Ocean large and wide

A pride that dares, and heeds not praise,

A stern and silent pride

Not that false joy that dreams content

With what our sires have won;
藉由我們祖先所贏得
The blood a hero sire hath spent
英雄祖先洒下的熱血
Still nerves a hero son.
將繼續激勵英雄之子

The words are by Arthur C Benson (1862 - 1925), who wrote them in close collaboration with the composer, Edward Elgar (1857 - 1934). In 1901 Elgar produced the first two of his five 'Pomp and Circumstance' Marches, and it is the central theme of his Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1 in D that provides the superb tune to these words. Elgar wrote some really great tunes, and he always knew when he was on to a winner. About this one he wrote at the time to a friend: 'I've got a tune that will knock 'em - knock 'em flat!'

He was right. And the tune was so much appreciated by Edward VII that Elgar was commissioned to compose a work for the coronation of the king, later to be known as the 'Coronation Ode'. The tune was incorporated into this Ode, and this resulted in the song 'Land of Hope and Glory'. The Coronation Ode was finished in April 1902, and assured Elgar of a knighthood, in 1904. The Ode was also performed at the coronation of King George V in 1911.



＊Last Night of the Proms 06
