The English March · The Guild of Ancient Fifes and Drums

 For St. George's Day. yorkshirecorpsofdrums.com/Notes to The English March.html

The English March was officially documented in 1610 and was commanded to be preserved by a Royal Warrant in 1632. Despite its historical significance, the march's rhythm and sound have been largely lost, despite the availability of music from the 17th and 18th centuries. The English March defined the sound of the nation for four centuries, but its rhythm and sound have been almost entirely lost, despite the availability of music from the 17th and 18th centuries. The English March and Early Drum Notation on JSTOR
