Can we just appreciate the volume and power of the organ from 2:10??? The BBC Singers, Symphony Chorus, Symphony Orch and full congregation at full pelt and the organ STILL dominates the texture and is heard clearly! The knowing glance from Oramo to the organ loft at the end to say "yes, I felt that rattle the stage too"
If Parry's Jerusalem is not the greatest of all anthems, then tell me what is? I live in the U. S. and first heard this in 1973 (Columbia vinly LP - "The last night of hte Proms")
God, I love my country! Listening to this, I'd willingly have been right beside my great uncle as he ran onto the beach at Normandy in 1944! All of us owe that generation and huge thank you, and stop giving our country away to every Tom, Dick and Mohamed!!
Anthem or no, I'm American and this is majestic, outstanding and moving. I'm jealous we don't have it. Parry, Hubert, Blake and Elgar produced a masterpiece lasting only 2 and a half minutes.
I have to believe even as an American proudly of British ancestry and proudly American that Her Majesty still loves hearing this kind of rousing response.
Some of yall in the comments are so funny. William Blake was anti monarchy, he would hate seeing you saying shit like 'god save the queen' about his poem
Voted Leave Believe it or not Britain needs Europe more than ever. The Empire's gone, none of that pomp from the last century. You think people like us from the realms (Canada, Australia, NZ) would help you out? Not really. We've got mouths to feed too.
love the proms .its our british heritage that shows our true british spirit why are there e.u flags in here .not british our they .long live our queen elizabeth true patriotic british patriot
This is after the referendum. Those EU flags are a really provocative and in poor taste IMO. You don't see that in the other years, but in 2017 specifically out they come. Instructions come down from the hive mind or something.
Why you hate your neighbor so much? The Europeans are just across the pond, they threat no harm to you, Britain will leave in a couple o' months, but you still have a lot of anger inside, maybe it's because what's all about the brexit thing...anger towards difference. We can work together as neighbours, don't let hatred block the future understanding and peace. We, the white South Africans understand the fear towards difference, and tell you what, life's are better once you learn to live together in peace. Don't let fear divide this great nation founded on the bases of right
I'm an American, yet find this more moving and awesome than our own anthem!
No, you have a wonderful, proud anthem. As a UK army musican touring the US in the 70's I played it many times and loved your loyalty.
🤔Think of the over 1,000,000 men who gave their lives for freedom in our own country and those abroad. ..then you will love our anthem.
@@theamerican4609 Where did you get the idea I don't like the American anthem?
This should be our national anthem. 👍
Que c'est beau ! Bravo les Britanniques.
C 'est magnifique !

Beautiful anthem, the best of England.
love the proms ,never get to go there in my 64yrs only on tv .im patriotic to my country till i die .like the song
I am from India and I love this song.
Long live William Blake !
You're a bit late mate

I first heard it on, "History of Britain", back in 2002 or so.....
Goosebumps.
i love this
So many Dutch 🇳🇱 flags.. they love England 🇬🇧
It was the school song at Pickering College in Canada
Please make this out national anthem. It would be truly compelling to hear at sporting events in which the crowd sang it.
❤

This song is the pinneacle of everything English! Why isn't it used as our anthem? :(

Land of hope and glory will fight you for the title.
Actually, the answer is in your question.
I was there for this !!!
the greatest show on earth is the proms .my passion is to be in the albert hall before god calls me .
Me too. And I am American of British ancestry.
I want to go too as a Dutch... hope it soon will be possible to go and be with a crowd in that grand home, the Royal Albert Hall.
That organ putting in work in the refrain
I love this Music and should be added as an alternate to God Save the Queen
I have to believe even as an American proudly of British ancestry and proudly American that Her Majesty still loves hearing this kind of rousing response.
This is their true national anthem
John Cleese doing a grand job of conducting here!
BRITTANIA RULES!
And her imprint on our world is eternal!❤️
あーあ、スーザンさんがいないBBCso、寂しい。
(首席チェロのスーザンさん推し)
this song is about jesus christ and should be the national anthem
England, my England.
😃welcome back home detained comfortably as you can 🤫😀🙏🏻.

This is nothing to do with the royals and everything to do with striving to build a better society in Britain.
What did the Brits do before Elgar?
jonnysouthjersey conquer the world
They had Henry Purcell 17th century English composer.
Handel
Same as after: not much.
Ruled a third of the World's surface. We've calmed down since down a bit since then - must be the soporific effects of Elgar.
Others: (Waving an EU flag)
Others still: HIGH TREASON! Off with their heads!
Others even still (Waving the Union Flag)
Others moreover: "Racist Nazi Imperialist scum!!"
Jesus Christ can you guys focus on something other than the flags.
ENGLAND EXPECTS
That every man
Is te United Kingdom, not England, so this can't be the Athem
Love that there were European and UK flags flying ... I am European and i am British... #ExitfromBrexit.
Voted Leave . Ok Snowflake...

Phillip Harvey Bott Europe is a continent, not a Rothschild corporation!.....
Charlie Molko oooh we got a conspiracy theorist... that didn't take long
+Philip Harvey Bott And if you truly cared about the future of Europe you would want the end of the EU from every sense of the word.
A show stopped for me

Blake's poem is misinterpreted...Can't be bothered to go into details.
There's an EU flag misplaced in the crowd😂
love the proms .its our british heritage that shows our true british spirit why are there e.u flags in here .not british our they .long live our queen elizabeth true patriotic british patriot
Britain is still in Europe, idiot!
@@frapestyle No, we are not in Europe , idiot! We are in the European Union unfortunately, but hopefully not for much longer.
Such a shame about the EU flags. What a beautiful hymn though. Parry’s composition at its best.
It’s such a shame this performance was ruined by so many EU flags
Ditch the EU flag you bunch of sad middle class fannies. All the normals in Hyde park have actual flags that represent actual countries.
This is after the referendum.
Those EU flags are a really provocative and in poor taste IMO. You don't see that in the other years, but in 2017 specifically out they come. Instructions come down from the hive mind or something.
Why are people waving fascist E.U flags. The night is British not E.U
Its attendance is mostly rich liberals who support the EU.
So only rich people are allowed to support the EU? Idiot
All the rich liberals in the Hall with their EU flags and then the Working Class in the parks with their British flags just goes to show you.

@@dindings - Why do you assume we hate Europeans just because we want leave the EU? It's the institution we want to be free of.
Bluebell 01 it’s funny, because you guys act like the hillbillies of Texas or Dixie but with a posh accent
European flags😂🤣😂
Fortunately we won't be seeing EUSSR flags in the future as they will be totally irrelevant to the U.K...
No Jerusalem was not built in England
