When I was still doing my GCSEs, one of the A level music technology students was a guy called Owen. I didn't know him very well, but I knew that he had - at one point - done quite a lot of work as a church organist. I happened to mention this to a mutual friend, who laughed and asked me if I knew why he had stopped. Apparently one day the vicar of the church where he played had recieved news that the local bishop intended to visit - quite a big deal for a small church in the middle of nowhere. Owen was drafted in for the service and asked if he could play some film music. The vicar, seeing no harm in this, agreed.

Picture the scene. The bishop was proceeding down the nave in a stately fashion, flanked by his attendants, in front of a packed congregation when the organ struck up. What did Owen play? This.

This is the story as I was told it
And from what I knew of Owen, he was the sort of guy who would have done it.

The band of the Welsh Guards used the same piece
to welcome King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia to Britain in 2007. Subtle.
