The Emperor's Fanfare by Antonio Soler

Doug Marshall plays the Emperor's Fanfare by Antonio Soler (arr. Biggs) on Marshall & Ogletree Opus Two, built for St. Lukes Episcopal Church in Montclair, New Jersey.
The Marshall & Ogletree organ, dubbed The Virtual Pipe Organ by the New York Times, attained instant fame following the installation of Opus One, a large double organ of more than 200 ranks, at Trinity Wall Street in New York City. M&O organs are designed to address this question: If price were no object, could a pipeless organ be built that would rival, in every musically meaningful way, the best pipe organs?

M Scott y esta pieza fue compuesta por algún compositor danés para que se le apropie la monarquia herética danesa?

@@enriquexix3615 Sera cuando va a oficio religioso la reina de dinamarca al monasterio del escorial, es allí donde vivio Antonio Soler, verdad.
