Coronation Anthems

Album by George Frideric Handel & John Blow & William Croft & RIAS Kammerchor & Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin & Justin Doyle

Coronation Anthems is a set of choral anthems by George Frideric Handel, composed in 1727 for the coronation of King George II. Scored for chorus, soloists and orchestra in the Baroque style, the pieces combine contrapuntal writing and a ceremonial orchestral palette, illustrating Handel's approach to liturgical and occasional composition during his London period, with several movements subsequently used in British coronation ceremonies.
