This is a severely underrated performance. Haven’t heard such a good rendition in a very long time.

These wonderful pieces will no doubt be played upon the occasion of the formal coronation of King Charles III sometime next year.

Not by several other posters they aren't....they justify comparison with Harry Christopher's 16...which is saying something. An interesting contrast by two superb groups performing the works of mighty Handel!

They did have Zadok and I think the balance of music was well done at the Coronation , though I am not much of a monarchist. @@alishalileh
I do believe that was the most awesome and awe-inspiring performance of the king shall rejoice I have ever heard.
0:00 The King Shall Rejoice 2:40 Exceeding Glad Shall He Be 5:50 Glory and Great Worship 8:30 Hallelujah
Bravissimo! This ensemble is as good as it gets, better in fact. Witnessing such excellence gives me hope.
May God remember your voices and cancel any sin that will prevent any of you in the heavenly choir, Amen
You all are Heavenly, I never tire of attending your performances when I have the time. Bless you and your efforts, and bless you for making Miami (my hometown) your home! Your voices would fit my compositions wonderfully :-).
My god Handel and these immensely talented people truly hold the keys to heaven, theirs nothing more uplifting and beautiful than Handel's music sung by by these wonderful talented singers and musicians, we are so privileged to hear this music we are truly blessed.
What a gorgeous music ! It raises the soul
The King shall rejoice in thy strength, O Lord. Exceeding glad shall he be of thy salvation. Glory and great worship hast thou laid upon him. Thou hast prevented him with the blessings of goodness and hast set a crown of pure gold upon his head. Allelujah.

The old meaning of prevented which is gone before-from the Latin

That takes around ten seconds to read and 11 minutes to sing.
Great choir,absolutely flawless.I will check out more of their performances
Superb on so many levels: dynamics, diction, pitch-perfect, and great instrumentation to boot!
I could imagine myself back in the 17th century enjoying the splendour of the Baroque: extremely enjoyable to listen to - well done!💐🇦🇺❤️Hello to my American friends - from down-under.🇺🇸🇦🇺💐
Such a joy to watch the director!
Absolument superbe!Magnifique!Du punch, de l'énergie,de l'optimisme.Ca réveille.Bravo à tous ces magnifiques musiciens!Du grand et très beau travail!On adore!!
As an Englishman I found this interpretation truly wonderful.I adore the music Of Handel.

I enjoy Handel's music very much. I don't think there is any composition of his that I don't like.
I have never heard this ,my favourite Coronation Anthem, sung so well. I have been listening to and singing Handel's music for 70 years and this performance is really special.I could go on in detail but really it would be only words.Suffice to say that the vocal quality, the precision without sacrificing musical emotion is wonderful.I came across you by chance and you have made my day. Also- a great band! Please come to the UK. The recording quality is also great.

I love the sixteen and have heard them live but I am so impressed by Seraphic Fire.They are much smaller in number but make a fantastically powerful sound and the band is great.

Having listened to both The Christophers version and Seraphic Fire on numerous occasions I think listening on you tube Seraphic Fire is not a poor second but a first.

John Cruickshank: At 80, you have about a decade on me! But. I warmly agree with you . This ensemble's performance of Handel's Coronation Anthems is in every respect outstanding . May we both live on to enjoy it's performances!!

IMHO Seraphic Fire and the Sixteen are equally good but different. SF's use of soloists, and its smaller ensemble give the piece a less uniform quality than the Sixteen. " ...Pay your money .."..as they say. For me the key is always Handel's genius...which is regaining rightful recognition.
Seraphic Fire has to be my favorite ensemble of all time. They are so versatile and sound like pros no matter what. Anything from this Baroque piece to contemporary pieces like I Will Lift Mine Eyes by Jake Runestad.

+Brittney Urban Thank you, this is so true! Hope you'll also enjoy our record of Spirituals which is being released one week from today :)
Fabulous! Thank you for a wonderful performance.
Truly magnificent. Superb ensemble blend. We are exceeding glad! Hallelujah! Handel surely heard the voices of the Seraphim and Elohim.
Absolutely great! Greetings from The Netherlands
Among the best possible purveyors of the best choral works. All fantastic performers Thank you
A truly inspiring performance!
This is the best performance of this song I’ve ever listened to. The Director definitely is a perfectionist. 🎉❤

Merci pour votre excellente interprétation..!! amitié from France 🇫🇷 !!
Un Haendel grandiose et "musclé" ! C'est comme ça qu'on l'aime ! Merci Seraphic Fire and the Sebastians ! -- A grand and "muscular" Handel! That's how we like it (him)! Thank you Seraphic Fire and the Sebastians!
No positive words in the English language can do justice to these renditions. I'll have to 'make do' with the word - perfect.
One of the best performance in the most recent time..excellent
This performance is a joy, such polish and feeling for the style of the period. I wish I was there, it must have been magic!
Strange! I was just about to comment on this sterling performance so started scrolling down... My surprise? I already dropped a comment a year ago on how good this was. I was about to just do same this morning when I came across my comment. Simply goes to show how well executed your job is to attract my comment so easily. Kudos again for such great execution.
The talent on that stage is amazing. Who said you need a group of 100 singers to execute these choruses well. This is sublime ❤
I was Exceeding Glad to hear this!
This is so wonderful. The vocal techniques and the voices are amazing
This is just so amazingly uplifting. I honestly recommend listening to at 1.25 speed.
Wonderful! G F Händel would be proud of you. Thank you.
La musique d'attente quand tu composes le numéro du ciel 😊😊😊. Magnifique !!!
I always get uplifting when ever this song is presenting, strengthen my spirit
Thanks for enriching my day. Both the playing and the singing were excellent.
Superb performance by superb artists -great location. Something is added by the fact that the Coronation Anthems are still used for the same purpose and in the same place that Handel wrote them for 300 years ago. (Westminster Abbey is a sort of musical hotspot with its own store of great music written for it (eg Handel, Croft, Blow, Purcell, Matthew Locke etc, etc, etc . I can only think of the Vatican as having the same living tradition.)
Handel would rejoice too!

He created it.
Excellent!
a touch of heaven
Dupre’s keen ear allows him to blend SATB in ways that perhaps only the original composer envisioned and heard in his heart when composing this piece!
Magnificent rendering of Handelium brilliance!
Comparatively few sound glorious. Thankyou.
This was our set piece last year for Catholics and I loved it
Bravo! The best performance I've heard. ^_^
This performance sets the standard. Extraordinary!
wonderful, exciting, thrilling
Beautiful performance.
This is what is to be expected for all people who would make it up to the home of He, who live for a time indefinite...

Were singing this on 30 September 2023 at Chingford Parish Church, London E4 as part of a programme of Coronation themed music. I hope we can do it as much justice as this terrific version. I sing with the Chingford Singers (women) and we sing with the men of the Chingford Parish Church Choir
