Extra Information	*Written for the occasion of the unveiling of the Sir Alfred Gilbert's memorial (in London outside Marlborough House) to Queen Alexandra on 8 June 1932, when it was first performed by a choir with military band accompaniment. It was originally scored by Elgar for choir with orchestral accompaniment, but due to a change of plan it had to be re-scored for military band (by Capt. Andrew Harris of the Welsh Guards). Both band and orchestra parts have since been lost. The vocal score, as a handwritten manuscript, is in the Library of St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle. WorldCat has only one entry for this work, and it indicates orchestra as the accompaniment. Tagged for orchestra only.
