It seems sensible to me. If there ever was a plan to "drop" these pieces that is.
But keep on being outraged

The BBC has indeed capitulated to woke. They triumphantly tell us they will go ahead with Land of Hope and Glory and Rule Britannia but purely orchestrated. No Lyrics. Why not? I believe they are allowing 'You'll never walk alone' and 'Jerusalem' to be sung by a soloist. Why not a small choir as well. Surely it is not beyond the ingenuity of the BBC to arrange social distancing for 40 choristers in a bloody great hall!
The big pathetic objection are the lyrics, 'Britains never never will be slaves' .
They shoe horn a left wing Finn conductor, Dalia Stasevska, in to achieve their purpose in appeasing BLM at the same time.
Damned if I am going to listen to a soloist warbling a football supporters dirge instead of our national treasures.

//Not paranoid, simply wary.
Footballers and police have done it.

It is claimed that it refers back to our imperialist days when we dabbled with slavery. Anything these days,to do with our history and success is now tabboo it appears. I believe Cecil Rhodes was responsible for the lyrics of Land and Hope of Glory and we all know what BLM think about him. They conveniently forget the Rhodes Scholarship that puts thousands of overseas students through university via his bursarys.

Here is the link with reasons given although some of our anti-British residents here will dismiss it as it is from the dreaded Newspaper they fear.

Britons never, never, never shall be slaves,' is clearly making no reference to the nation's involvement in the slave trade. That interpretation has to be the result of a mind determined to impose a meaning on it that it doesn't have. It refers to the existence of slavery, and of a belief that in the future, Britons will not ever be slaves again.
And some seem to be confused with the difference between nationalism and racism.
I see it's still only 'black lives' that are claimed to matter. Would have hoped that ill conceived claim would have died a death by now.
So it seems that, as usual, it's a fuss about the existing situation created simply to cause trouble.

There is no reason, that I can see, why a small group cannot sing the words, which could also be put on screen to allow a singalong at home for any who are a bit unsure of all the lyrics. Because they are not doing that, it does seem that they are bowing to the 'woke' brigade at the expense of the rest of the country and that is far from OK.
The BBC has, for years, supported The Proms. Massive support. Including, every year, broadcasting Last Night of the Proms live, dominating a Saturday evening's viewing.
Who here is seriously arguing that the BBC does not support the Last Night of the Proms? It supports it way more than any other individual or organisation, and always has.
This year is obviously different. No audience. Next year is back to normal, hopefully, if there's a means to allow such crowds back in to the Royal Albert Hall.
