They therefore approved Payne's elaboration of the sketches, on which he had been working and lecturing intermittently since 1993, and he subsequently completed the piece. Payne's version of the symphony was first performed in 1998 to immediate acclaim, and has received numerous subsequent performances and several recordings. Payne has subsequently also composed a version of "Pomp and Circumstance March" No. 6 from Elgar's incomplete sketches for the work, which received its first performance under the baton of Sir Andrew
Pomp and Circumstance Marches friend Alfred E. Rodewald and the members of the Liverpool Orchestral Society". The instrumentation is: two piccolos (2nd "ad lib."), two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets in A, bass clarinet in A, two bassoons, contrabassoon, four horns in F, two trumpets in F, two cornets in A, three trombones, tuba, three timpani, percussion (bass drum, cymbals, triangle, side drum, jingles, glockenspiel (ad. lib.) and tambourine (ad lib.)), two harps, organ, and strings. The best known of the six marches, "Pomp And Circumstance March No. 1 In D" had its premiere, along with March No. 2, in Liverpool on 19 October
