- Imperial March: Sir Edward Elgar.
-
- This was written in 1896 for Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee.
- It was also played at a concert during the British Empire Exhibition
- in Wembley, north London.
-
- Elgar was one of the most important British composers of the 20th
- century. He wrote two symphonies, several marches including the
- four Pomp and Circumstance marches, the Cockaigne Overture
- (describing the City of London), cello concerto, violin concerto,
- Enigma Variations, songs and chamber music.
-
- He became the Master of the King's Music. His music was played at
- many royal events such as weddings, and coronations. The 4th Pomp
- and Circumstance march was played at the wedding of Prince Charles
- and Lady Diana in 1982.
-
- This sequence is for church organ. I have added the reverb controller
- at the beginning of the sequence. It consist of two tracks/channels.
- The second channel is the bass notes that would be played by the foot
- pedals. I used a Yamaha Clavinova and a Roland JV1080 to produce this
- sequence.
-
- I will be sequencing quite a lot more Elgar, Walton and Parry since
- I am of British origin and am very fond of this kind of music.
