Band of the Grenadier Guards

Following our visit to the Royal Marines last week we have spent five days recording at the magnificent Royal Military Chapel (The Guards’ Chapel) located at Wellington Barracks in London.

The first two days were spent with the Band of the Grenadier Guards, one of the seven regimental bands within the Household Division. They have the unique responsibility for delivering State Ceremonial and Public Duties, primarily in London & Windsor. 

Their choice of repertoire included a new march from the Band’s Director of Music, Captain Ben Mason. The quick march, The Kings Company, is planned to be publicly premiered at the forthcoming King’s Coronation in May.

Other items included an arrangement of Richard III Overture, Sir Edward German, and Rob Wiffin’s Hope Springs Eternal.

All the recorded items will be initially available for free download on the music library operated by the Household Division.
