Gatty Sellars (1875-1947) was described during his career as “the
world’s greatest descriptive organist.” He played on radio and
in films, “the only organist-composer to be filmed playing his own compositions,” as
written in 1942.
Watch
him playing “At the Temple Gates” from 1931. ”Royal Approach” is a march in depiction of British forces,
especially the Royal Air Force, advancing to counter attack the Axis powers. Moderately easy.
