The Crown


On the occasion of the Coronation of King Charles III, here is the most famous music from the coronations of James II in 1685 and George II in 1727. Purcell's and Handel's masterpieces exude an extraordinary evocative power, perfectly suited to the Royal Opera Chorus and Orchestra conducted by Gaétan Jarry.

The Crown

Chœur de l’Opéra Royal
Orchestre de l’Opéra Royal

Gaétan Jarry Conductor

 

Of all the major ceremonies performed by European monarchies in the pre-Revolutionary era, the Rite of Coronation was obviously the most symbolic and lavish, followed in musical intensity by the royal wedding or funeral. It is for the English monarchy that the music has been best preserved since the mid-17th century: here we find the most sumptuous ceremonial music of the Anglican sacred repertoire.

This Grand Style marked the pomp and ceremony of the English Crown: drum rolls and glorious trumpet fanfares heralded the acclamations of Westminster. God Save the King!
