The Pomp and Circumstance Marches, op. 39 are a series of five Marches for orchestra composed by Edward Elgar.
The title is taken from Act III of Othello: "Farewell the neighing steed, and the shrill trump,/ The spirit-stirring drum, the ear-piercing fife,/ The royal banner, and all quality,/ Pride, pomp, and circumstance of glorious war!". The best known is the Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1, and in most musical contexts Pomp and Circumstance refers to this one alone.
Hope this helps

The song 'Pimp and Circumstance' I think you mean, was written by Prince, the very same Prince that wrote Purple Rain, and When Doves Cry.
