Even those who do not enjoy sporting events enjoy the pomp and fanfare of the Summer Olympic Games. The form and style of March Olympia are European in the tradition of Elgar and Walton, not American, and intended for general performance or for a ceremony, like a graduation. Play the dotted eighth notes tenuto and the sixteenths secco in the primary melody after the introduction. The lyrical central melody should dominate, as the counter melody is subordinate.
