Product Description
Released as a charity single in aid of The Queen’s Commonwealth Trust, this sublime work was composed by Debbie Wiseman OBE and performed by the BBC Concert Orchestra in tribute to Queen Elizabeth II after her death in September 2022.
This tender and contemplative piece was played many times during the BBC’s live coverage of the ceremonies across ten days of national mourning; and the full three-minute piece was played at the end of the Queen’s State funeral, following Kirsty Young’s emotional final words, and accompanied by a poignant and beautiful montage of images from the events of the day.
The piece is now available for brass bands through this arrangement by Andrew Wainwright and Glenn Greet, with permission kindly granted by Debbie Wiseman.
