ENGLISH. MUSIC. CORONATION.
British conductor Howard Williams has selected the programme for this concert from that period of English music history which stretches over the last three hundred years. The Baroque period is represented by Purcell and Händel, while the 19th and 20th centuries are embodied by compositions by Hubert Parry, William Walton and Benjamin Britten. One of the unique works staged at this concert is a piece by Scottish composer James MacMillan: this composition was commissioned by Queen Elizabeth II herself for her own funeral service. When the work was performed in Westminster Abbey on 19th September 2022, it was heard by millions of people around the world. Also associated with the Royal Family is Hubert Parry’s hymn entitled ‘I Was Glad’. This work was first performed in 1902 at the coronation of Edward VII, then at the coronation of George V to be followed by the coronation of Elizabeth II, and most recently it was played at the coronation of Charles III.
