Dudley Buck (1839-1909), a contemporary of Eugene Thayer and John Knowles Paine, was one of the early American organ virtuosi who composed many works for the organ. Choral March (In Canon Form) was published in 1891, late in Buck's compositional timeline. It is the last of a four-piece set of programmatic pieces titled Four Tone Pictures, which is among the earliest American organ music to create a scene or story in the listener's mind. In Choral March, Buck directed at the bottom of the first page that the verse-motto be printed for the audience. The title “choral” is the German spelling for chorale, a German Protestant hymn tune. It is usually known in English speaking churches as A Mighty Fortress. The Lutheran chorale tune, Ein’ feste Burg, first published in 1529, had been used by many European composers, but an American organ composer had used it only once before Buck. Fingering and pedaling indications are from the original edition. The notes fall nearly always under the hand, and there is no advanced technique required. The entire piece is of moderate difficulty.
