Details
Handels Zadok the Priest is one of the most iconic and enduring pieces of ceremonial music. Composed in 1727 for the coronation of King George II, it has been performed at every British coronation since. Opening with a slow, suspenseful orchestral build-up, the piece erupts into a triumphant choral entry, exuding grandeur and majesty. Its stirring harmonies and uplifting energy have made it a favourite far beyond royal occasions, influencing everything from film scores to football anthems. A true masterpiece, Zadok the Priest remains a timeless symbol of regal splendour and musical brilliance.
