Description
Handel / Choir Of King's College Cambridge, English Chamber Orchestra Conducted By Philip Ledger – Handel Coronation Anthems / Angel Records Digital CD Audio 1983
A coronation anthem is a piece of choral music written to accompany the coronation of a monarch.
Many composers have written coronation anthems. However, the best known were composed by George Frideric Handel for the coronation of the British monarch. Handel's four coronation anthems use text from the King James Bible and were originally commissioned for the coronation of George II of Great Britain in 1727, but have become standard for later coronations. They are Zadok the Priest, Let Thy Hand Be Strengthened, The King Shall Rejoice, and My Heart Is Inditing. Each was originally a separate work but they were later published together.
