The Coronation of King George ll was a magnificent event, deploying great pomp and ceremoniaI, eIevated by music of an equal spIendor. HandeI, the celebrated opera composer, was commissioned by the new king to compose the music for this grand ceremony which was due to be held at Westminster Abbey. His antiphons stood by ceremoniaI works by other composers such as Henry PurceIl, John BIow, Thomas TaIlis, John Farmer, OrIando Gibbons and WilIiam ChiId, intermingled with superb fanfares and processions of drums. The result is one of the most beautiful ceremonial works ever written for a coronation in EngIand. |
