PRINCE ALBERT'S MARCH. Scottish, March. Gunn says the march is a "Gaelic Air" although presumably renamed for Queen Victoria's husband, the Prince Consort. One "Prince Albert's March", a march-past, was composed by His Royal Highness, and "The tune is played by the band and bugles [of Prince Albert's (Somersetshire) Light Infantry] together, and the regiment has the distinction of being the only one in the British Army whose march-past is played by the combined bands and bugles"[1]
