Yea. Absolutely. :=) it so to say majesizes your life’s work. (The grammar is wrong but you get the point. It gives your calling a truly majestic touch)

The first part of this piece is truly astonishing. The arpeggio builds beautifully, changing to a lovely minor key before the sun-bursting release of choir and trumpets. It's completely regal and divine as intended, and leaves the listener stunned... Then the rest of the piece plonks along with less than a tenth the majesty of the first 2 minutes. It's as if Handel didn't know what to do afterwards.

Music transcends time! After centuries of its composition millions of people could watch the music being performed for the purpose for which it was composed! Great and lucky to witness it. " History repeats itself". Never, for each time there will be some changes/differences.

I love Handel. Knew it from the coronation of HM Queen so impressive and, may i say, devinely inspired i feel. That made it so touching.

Handel's own composition without the aid of a librettist even if the Bishops in the church wanted to craft the words and let Handel write the music. He knew how to put it together splendidly.

That's a beautiful rendition, but my favorite will always be the Acadamy of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields with Sir Neville Marriner conducting...everything they ever did was absolutely first-rate and basically unbeatable.

This is extraordinarily beautiful amazing incredible piece of music,I needed to listen to the lyrics,Handel made a masterpiece. I love it.

387 "rear" old song 😂

This is played at the coronations of the British monarchs. Never had known the words till now, though.

The lyrics of the piece are biblical, being a distillation of 1 Kings 1:34-45: Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anointed Solomon king. And all the people rejoiced and said: God save the King! Long live the King! God save the King! May the King live for ever. Amen. Hallelujah.

Listened to Zadok as the King was being anointed. How much better can you get for this sort of thing?

Live forever, mighty mighty Handel! This one just about knocks you right out of your chair (throne?) .

Having sang this in choir 13 or so years ago, I agree with your statement that the intro should be slow and the main part quicker! This is close to how we sang it! Simply epic piece of music. I love the pictures. I feel the intro is putting us in a place in history, evoking old times. Your chosen pictures match the music exactly. The intro is setting the scene and getting us ready to celebrate the new King. It was great to see and hear it in its proper context at King Charles' coronation.

This is my favorite song❤

For those acking questions, see Wikipedia entry below: Although part of the traditional content of British coronations, the texts for all four anthems were picked by Handel-a personal selection from the most accessible account of an earlier coronation-for that of James II of England in 1685.[1] The text is derived from the biblical account of the anointing of Solomon. These words have been used in every English, and later British, coronation since that of King Edgar at Bath Abbey in 973.

The overwhelming powerful chorus and performance show a blessing and glory of God .

The is but ONE Righteous KING! Esteem HIM FOREVER! HalleluYAH!!

@William Doubleu There's nothing so perfect than being born between the right pair of legs right? As a Republican, the queen is the absolute antithesis to meritocracy, hard work, and opportunity for all. Oh if I have been born to opulence and limitless opportunity! She represents a by-gone age that should have stopped in the late 18th century. I do find it ironic, however, that Brits will say 'We shall never, ever, ever be slaves' when they are exactly that! It's one of the greatest moments of irony seeing proud 'independent' brits under the Queen and the EU. It certainly proves that Rousseau was right, 'Man is born free but everywhere he is in chains.' I would say one day they will wake up to it but they will not. They are slaves to their culture. Their minds have regressed from enlightenment. They cannot even see the virtues of Schumpeter's philosophy! They'll still keep voting for the same idiots in power, regardless of how much they complain. Just look at who their future leader is, an Etonian, another member of the Victorian age. Perhaps the Brits deserve their overlords. They deserve having 'their betters' rule them. They'll never take up the responsibility to govern themselves. They are lost children who need their masters.
