Royal Coronation Overture by Dr. Patrick Brill is a contemporary take on the program overture model of the 19th Century, a genre most commonly heard in concert hall performances, as well as church services and royal coronation ceremonies. Dr. Brill, an expert in Medieval and Renaissance music, capitalized on his extensive background in classical music and experience crafting large-scale orchestral pieces to compose this opulent overture. This studio recording of the piece is also available in a Dolby Atmos immersive audio format, placing listeners directly into the lavish fanfare by which this music is historically accompanied. Carrying on the 200-year tradition of the program overture, this work is a majestic delight for the modern ear...

Royal Coronation Overture (8 min, 51 sec) is an instantly accessible work. For anyone who has witnessed a Royal event, with all the pomp and ceremony, then Dr. Patrick Brill's composition will feel very familiar.

It's familiarity is mainly down to the style of orchestration, the overly decorative flourishes and the importance of the organ as a focal point in core segments. It sounds like you've heard this a million times before in both real life, and period dramas.

A beautifully structured work that encapsulates exactly what it sets out to do: that of the emotional attachment you'd associate with a royal coronation.
