The London Philharmonic Orchestra takes part in the Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant on 3 June as part of the 1000 boat flotilla celebrating the Queen's 60th anniversary. Its musicians will play works chosen for their association with British history and London landmarks, recorded here to capture the spirit of the occasion and to serve as a memento of a unique day.
Highlights of the music include Percy Grainger's Country Gardens, Jupiter from Gustav Holst's The Planets, Thomas Arne's Rule, Britannia!, the James Bond Theme, The Dam Busters by Eric Coates and two works by Elgar - Nimrod from Enigma Variations and Pomp & Circumstance March No. 1. The CD closes out with a performance of the National Anthem.
This CD is released to mark the London Philharmonic Orchestra's participation in the flotilla on the afternoon of Sunday 3 June 2012, as part of the Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant. It is the official diamond jubilee album endorsed by the Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant.
Perfect accompaniment for street parties and other Jubilee celebrations. It includes music performed on board 'The Symphony' music herald barge as part of the 3 June flotilla. The CD offers a selection of popular works by great British (and Commonwealth) composers written during the time of our Queen's reign. The musical tracks are programmatically linked to the iconic landmarks the Orchestra passes along The Thames, and repertoire includes grand ceremonial works, pastoral music and patriotic anthems by composers including Thomas Arne, Sir Malcolm Arnold, Eric Coates, Sir Edward Elgar, Gustav Holst and Sir William Walton.
