Orb & Sceptre
Today marks the 63rd anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II‘s coronation. Within the past year, she became the longest reigning queen in recorded history.
The coronation ceremony was quite an ordeal, to say the least, taking 16 months to plan. One of the many pieces composed for the occasion was the “Orb & Sceptre” march by William Walton.
Vivat Regina Elizabetha!
Love Walton and his compositions…… Crown Imperial!
