This piece is not from “A New Hope” as described, it was composed for “The Empire Strikes Back.”

[mooneyesplays]

As has been noted, Imperial March does not appear anywhere in A New Hope. It's not heard until The Empire Strikes back, first as the Empire spreads probe droids across the galaxy, and then as Vader is first presented in the movie.
