Title significance

[edit]

This might be obvious to those in the UK, but it might be worth spelling out the meaning of the title of the piece. Looking around, I find and orb: (Sovereign's Orb) and two sceptres (Sceptre with the Cross and Sceptre with the Dove) that play a role in the ceremony. Does the music pertain to one of the sceptres or both? A sentence or two with links would be helpful. Thanks. DavidRF (talk) 06:48, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Too-Informal Vocabulary

[edit]

It would be better to say that the piece "quiets down" for the Trio rather than "quietens down," which is bit rustic. Doc411 (talk) 18:12, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
