Crown Imperial (musical composition)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Crown Imperial is an orchestral march by the English composer William Walton written for the coronation of King George VI in 1937 and substantially revised in 1963. It's written in a ABABC form: An exciting march in C major over Waltonesque long pedal points is followed by an Elgarian trio section in A flat major. Then both march and trio reappear in C again and come to a conclusion in a small heroic coda. It has been arranged for organ by Herbert Murrill. It can be found as such in "A Walton Organ Album", compiled by Robert Gower, published by Oxford University Press.
