This march was written for the centenary of Exeter Tempe Corps in 1981 and first played in Exeter Cathedral during those celebrations. While the march is intentionally retrospective, the unashamed absence of modernity receives some splashes of colour from the styles of march ‘kings’ like Bramwell Coles, Arthur Gullidge, Albert Jakeway and George Marshall.
