Coronation Anthems

Album by George Frideric Handel & Le Concert Spirituel & Hervé Niquet

Coronation Anthems is a set of choral works by George Frideric Handel, composed in 1727 for the coronation of George II. The music is rooted in the Baroque idiom, written for choir and orchestra with alternating grand choral passages and more intimate solo and instrumental episodes, and it forms a key part of Handel's ceremonial output and the tradition of British coronation music.
