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.
