The Royal Gunners is a concert prelude based on tunes strongly associated with the Band of the Royal Artillery. It was composed for the band’s 350th Anniversary celebrations in 2012. It was constructed in a similar way to Grenadiers! using the band’s own regimental marches as a basis for composition. In this case the marches were the present Royal Artillery Slow March and one of the oldest Royal Artillery Marches - ‘The Trayne of Artillery’s Grenadiers Quick March’ (The Train of Artillery).
