Coronation Music for King James II

Album by John Blow & Henry Lawes & Henry Purcell & William Child & William Turner & Choir of Westminster Abbey & Simon Preston

Coronation Music for King James II is a set of ceremonial compositions by English Baroque composer John Blow written for the 1685 coronation of King James II. It exemplifies late 17th-century English Baroque ceremonial and choral-orchestral writing, with grand choral passages and instrumental fanfares, and forms part of Blow's body of work for royal occasions and the Anglican liturgical tradition.
