| Description: Written to open the British Empire Exhibition held at Wimbley in 1924, Elgar's Empire March was never published in its original form for full orchestra. Although the original manuscript is thought to be entirely lost, this edition is based on a surviving first draft set of printed orchestral parts, with corrections in Elgar's own handwriting. |
