Elgar made four visits to the USA: the last in 1911. He wrote three songs: "The Merry-go-round" for (children's) voices in unison with piano accompaniment; "The Brook" a simple two-part song with piano accompaniment; and "Windlass Song" for four-part voices (SATB) unaccompanied. The songs were published by Silver, Burdett & Co. of New York City in "The Progressive Music Series", books Two (1914), Three (1915) and Four (1915) respectively. All three songs are short: "The Merry-go-round" 13 bars with two verses – the tune of this is simple and the notation unusually large, indicating that this was written for young children; "The Brook" 13 bars with three verses; and "Windlass Song" 14 bars with four verses. Elgar signed a schedule excluding their publication in any form apart from that series, and specifically not to be published outside the USA, though in 1921 Elgar gave permission for them to be published in the Canadian edition of that series.

The Civic Fanfare was written for the mayoral procession at the opening of the Three Choirs Festival at Hereford on 4 September 1927. The orchestration includes fanfares for the orchestral brass accompanied by wind and percussion; but the only strings which take part are violas, celli and double basses. The work was intended to precede a performance of Elgar's transcription of 'God Save the King' and ends with a side-drum roll which leads directly into the National Anthem, when the violins join in at the same time as the choir.
