Sir Edward Elgar's Introduction and Allegro for Strings, Op. 47, was composed in 1905 for performance in an all-Elgar concert by the newly formed London Symphony Orchestra. Scored for string quartet and string orchestra, Elgar composed it to show off the players' virtuosity.

This is, without a doubt, the most often played processional at graduations from elementary school through to college and university. Only the main theme has been adapted here and there are several "escapes" if the piece is required to end early. In fact, with all the optional endings, the piece can end just before the 1 minute mark or can be extended to just over 2 minutes or even longer if repeats are taken.
