Played by The Band of His Majesty's Coldstream Guards
Conducted by Captain J. Causley Windram, Director of Music, Coldstream Guards

Before 1783 the Band of the Coldstream Guards consisted of civilians who were hired by the month and had only one military duty - to play the Guard from St. James's Parade to the Palace and back again.

But the soldiers were not satisfied with the arrangement ; and the officers requested the Duke of York, who was then Colonel-in-Chief of the Regiment, to allow the formation of a permanent band. The Duke was in Hanover at the time and he at once sent twelve Hanoverian musicians to England.

In its long history, the band has grown, of course, both in size and musical proficiency. When it was twenty strong it played in Paris during the Allied occupation of 1815. It now numbers between sixty and seventy players, and has three distinct combinations-military band, string band, and dance orchestra. In 1938 it played at the World's Fair in New York, and it was the first British Army band to visit Canada.

Op. 191 ; Andante favori, Op. 170 ; Rondo and capriccio in G, Op. 129 (Fury over a lost penny, vented in a caprice)
Lamond-whose name, as everyone knows, is a good old Scots one, although many pronounce it in Continental style-first learned music from his brother David before studying on the Continent, where he made a great success. He came back to Glasgow, the city of his birth, in 1886, for the first piano recital he gave in Great Britain. Next he went to London and in his fourth concert there Liszt set the seal on the young man's reputation by attending. He is also a composer, and his Symphony in A was first played by the Glasgow Choral Union in 1889, but it is as an interpreter of Beethoven that he has won his greatest fame.
