The Duke is a music track that is unlocked when entering Lumbridge Castle's first floor and second floor. Before it was released, the music track for Lumbridge Castle first floor and second floor was the same for the whole of Lumbridge, usually Harmony. You can also hear this music track on the top floor of the wizards tower.
It starts out with French horn chords in the key of G and then transfers to a harp melody accompanied by steady-paced bongos. Strings have the melody in the first phrase. Later, it changes to the key of A and oboes take the melody. Some clarinets repeat the phrase of the melody at the same time some choirs enter. After, the French horn chords and the first phrase repeat without the bongos.
This song conveys a sense of grandeur, as if at a royal procession, and is slow and heavy on brass, with strings providing harmony, a counter-melody, and brief changes in the music.
