I was in Fort Siloso, Singapore. It’s a museum about the Brits and WW2 in the Pacific. Highly recommended to visit. This is also where I heard this magnificent march, just right at the entrance. Splendid!

Composed by the great Henry Purcell in 1686, with many, many variations on the original words; a fine tune to include in the quadrille!

Not just great, arguably the greatest composer in British history.

@@glynnwright1699 Well, the Act of Union didn't come until later, so until then, he was "merely" English . . . but I accede to your sentiment. I don't recall what Purcell's politics were, and I don't recall who composed the lyrics, but they were definitely Whiggish in sentiment.

@@richardcleveland8549 The British Isles predates the Act of Union, I deliberately used British for that reason. I think he is the greatest composer to come out of these islands. Purcell, like most notable composers of the period, had to stay in favour with the king if he wished to earn a living. Purcell did not write librettos, some his most well known librettos were written by John Dryden who was in favour with Charles II, but was removed as (the first) Poet Laureate for refusing to swear allegiance to William and Mary. I am not sure that anyone knows who wrote the most commonly used libretto, there are several.

@@glynnwright1699 I concede your point. I just finished Amanda Tomalin's biography of Samuel Pepys (a fine, fine work, by the way; from now on, this is my benchmark for any future bio.), who was acquainted with Dryden (although I don't recall any mention of Purcell), and who likewise danced on the tightrope from the time James II fled until Pepys died in 1703. He had at least one brief and not altogether unpleasant stay in the Tower during William's reign.

This song reminds me of the Richard Burton movie "A raid on Rommel" (1971). That's where it comes in.
