The Crown. Coronation Anthems

Chœur et Orchestre de l'Opéra Royal, Gaétan Jarry

To mark the Coronation of King Charles III, we have brought together the most famous pieces of music from the coronations of James II in 1685 and George II in 1727. The masterpieces by Purcell and Handel display an extraordinarily evocative force: their "Grand Style" put a magnificent stamp on the ceremonial of the Crown of England. Drum rolls and glorious trumpet fanfares herald the acclamations of Westminster: God Save the King!

Handel: Coronation Anthems Nos. 1-4
Handel: Coronation Anthem No. 1, HWV258 'Zadok the Priest'
Handel: Coronation Anthem No. 2, HWV259 'Let Thy Hand be Stengthened'
Handel: Coronation Anthem No. 3, HWV260 'The King Shall Rejoice'
Handel: Coronation Anthem No. 4, HWV261 'My Heart is Inditing'
Handel: Solomon: Praise the Lord with harp and tongue
Purcell: I was glad when they said unto me, Z19
Purcell: My heart is inditing, Z30

they make a tremendous noise – Zadok is absolutely thunderous, its drumbeats sounding like cannons going off outside somewhere, and Handel’s My heart is inditing (lit by glittering bursts from the grand organ) has an urgency few will have heard in it before.
