March Royal
Elliott Del Borgo

Brisk and vivacious, March Royal uses straight forward detached half and quarter-note rhythms to convey the ceremonial style appropriate to this selection. The middle section calls for a more legato style of playing and makes an effective contrast to the opening and closing sections in this piece in the classic ABA form.
