Music fit for the Queen

Christopher’s 90 second ‘Royal Diamond Jubilee Fanfare’ was performed in Ebbw Vale today in the presence of HM Queen Elizabeth II & The Duke of Edinburgh as part of the Diamond Jubilee Tour.

The work was commissioned by the Greater Gwent Support Service for the Greater Gwent Youth Brass Ensemble to play as the royal couple entered the General Offices of the former steelworks for a short tour. Upon leaving the venue, the Queen asked the Lord Lieutenant for a recording of the work, which has since been sent on to Buckingham Palace. Long live the Queen!
