Coronation Anthems

Album by George Frideric Handel & Choir of Westminster Abbey & The English Concert & Trevor Pinnock & Simon Preston

Coronation Anthems is a set of coronation anthems composed by George Frideric Handel and first performed in 1727. Scored for choir, soloists and orchestra in the Baroque style, the works feature alternating large-scale choral sections and more intimate passages, exemplifying Handel's contributions to ceremonial music in Britain and helping to establish a repertory used at subsequent coronations.
