I promise this is the one and only coronation related post I’m making, as I’m no fan of the monarchy nor am I a royalist. The only part of yesterday’s coronation I really waited in anticipation to hear sung live was the anthem composed by George Frideric Handel for the coronation of King George II in 1727. - Zadok the Priest. The girl choristers of Methodist College Belfast were given the honour of joining with the choristers of Westminster Abbey to sing yesterday, the granddaughter of a friend was one of the girls selected….said friend a very proud granny indeed!

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Beautiful and wonderful camera angles too! Thanks for posting this. I didn't watch the entirety of the coronation live, as it was past midnight where I live, so I was going to watch the highlights on TV yesterday, but the re-run of the coronation was pre-empted on all television channels by a mass shooting. That's America for you!

Yes…I heard about that shooting in Texas…it’s just so sad that they keep happening every week!
Their voices are amplified so beautifully in that church. I'm not a fan of the monarchy, but it is interesting to watch the coronation.

Yes…it’s certainly a spectacle
Bewitching, I'm torn between the pompatus of love and war pigs.

Still interesting to watch. When was the last time there was a coronation?

70 years ago in 1953 when the late Queen was crowned.
Absolutely gorgeous! That's choral music at its finest!

Yes…sublime if you love that type of music…definitely majestic! I remember singing this at grammar school which is really where my love of choral music and singing were formed.
@Marionville I work as a choral director, and have been involved in choral music all my life, also as a composer, but my choir is not nearly as fine as this one, though they try! Getting kids singing early does promote a lifelong love of music. Thanks for posting this!
@Organist1 My pleasure…
