Coronation Scot

This is another track that I previously recorded on the real Wyton House Compton theatre organ from which this sample set was produced. The Hauptwerk recording posted here uses exactly the same registrations. You can listen to the recording made on the real instrument at http://music.nagioff.com and compare the two.

Vivian Ellis was inspired to write this piece in 1938 by a journey on an express steam train and he named it after one of the then famous UK express services, Coronation Scot. The tune became very well known as the signature tune for the BBC radio detective serials 'Paul Temple'.
