A Celebration of British Music (P/V/G) [Sheet music]

From John Dowland's Galliard dedicated to the Virgin Queen, through Handel's Water Music for George I, to Elgar's Imperial March marking Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, classical music has bestowed upon Britain an unmatched musical legacy celebrating both king and country. As well as the triumphal music for state occasions, this collection features quintessential music from Britain's long history, from the Elizabethan folk tune Greensleeves, to Holst's 1920s setting of Spring-Rice's patriotic poem I Vow to Thee My Country. For every age, new music is composed to match the occasion, each piece adding to Britain's uniquely impressive musical heritage. This is a collection of the very best!
