"Crown Imperial" was commissioned for the coronation of King George VI, and received its premiere at the coronation ceremony in 1937. One of the classics of mid-20th Century band literature, we are pleased to bring you this Boosey & Hawkes edition.
Technical Notes: Born in Lancashire in 1902 to a musical family, William Walton was a chorister at Christ Church Cathedral at Oxford, and later studied at the university. He left Oxford without a degree, and from 1920 lived with the Sitwell family in London.
The march "Crown Imperial" (1937) was composed for the coronation of King George VI. Walton was by this time considered the foremost composer of Britain, and became a symbol of the hope that English music might recapture the brilliance it had in Handel's day.
