Standard of St. George is an excellent quick march written by one of the greatest march composers of all time, Kenneth J. Alford. Known for his style of dignified marches with a broad rich sound, his works were very original. Alford lived and worked during the right period of history to write stirring marches that were aimed at the heart and were meant to reflect the nationalism characteristic of the British people at the time. Bom in 1881, Kenneth J. Alford enlisted in the band of the Royal Irish Fusiliers (18th Foot) in 1895. After attending the Royal Military School of Music for bandmaster training from 1904 to 1908, he was appointed Bandmaster of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders in 1908, a position he held for almost 20 years.

After completing his army service in 1927, he was appointed Director of Music of the Band of the Depot, Royal Marines, Deal. He was subsequently appointed to the Band of the Plymouth Division, Royal Marines. Alford retired in 1944 with the rank of Major but passed away May of 1945 in Riegate, Surrey. Kenneth J. Alford has composed such well known marches as "Army of the Nile", "On the Quarter Deck", "The Great Little Army" and "The Mad Major" to name a few.
