Händel's
opera Scipio was
written in 1725 and
performed the following
year in the King's
Theatre, London. After
Händel's death his
operas fell into
obscurity until the
1960s, when they
experienced a major
revival. This famous
march from Scipio
has however remained
popular since its first
performance and has been
the Regimental Slow March
of the British Grenadier
Guards since the 18th
century. The march is
fairly simple and gives
young bands the
opportunity to play a
well-known baroque melody
which should be well
within their technical
ability.
