The march “Goldcrest” is a well-known piece in the Salvation Army music repertoire, composed by James Anderson. It was first published in 1992 and has since become a popular march within the Salvation Army bands¹². The piece is celebrated for its lively and uplifting melody, which captures the spirit and energy of the Salvation Army’s mission.

The title “Goldcrest” likely refers to the small bird known for its distinctive golden crown, symbolizing something precious and valuable. This aligns with the Salvation Army’s values of bringing hope and joy to communities.
