March for ‘A History of the English-Speaking Peoples’ (The Oxford Organ Library)

for Solo organ This exciting piece was composed as a television theme in 1959. Like an Elgar Pomp and Circumstance march, it alternates punchy fanfare textures with a warm and supremely ‘English’ melody. In the hands of skilled arranger Tom Winpenny, the piece comes alive as an impressive voluntary or a dashing recital-closer.
