About

All the most important regimental music of the senior Footguards regiment - many marches and troops, some well-known, some rare, and a selection of bugle calls and Sunset with band.

The Grenadier Guards are regarded as the most senior of the Footguards regiments. Their Band has had an unparalleled reputation for centuries. Nowadays, they play with a uniquely warm style, a way that is somehow typically English.

This programme contains a wide range of marches associated with the regiment and a couple of ‘troops’ which, although being written in waltz tempo, are used (one in a bar) as slow marches with one step per bar of music. We hear all the Company Marches and a selection of lighter items, such as Toy Grenadier, which are inspired by the regiment.

One extraordinary novelty is the pre-Welsh Guards (1915) The Guards’ Patrol which is a ‘fantasy march’ composed around the regimental marches of the Grenadier, Coldstream, Scots and Irish Guards and includes lusty vocal contributions from members of the Band.
