Queen's Platinum JubileePlans are taking shape for our Church's celebration of
Her Majesty's Platinum Jubilee. Choral Evensong - Zadok the PriesSunday 5th June 6:30pmThere will be a special Choral Evensong on Sunday 5th June at 6.30 p.m. followed by refreshments. This will feature the choir singing the anthem Zadok the Priest by G.F. Hendel.. Zadok the Priest, in full Zadok the Priest: The Coronation Anthem, the most popular of George Frideric Handel’s Coronation Anthems for George II. Like the three other anthems in the set, “Zadok the Priest” premiered on October 11, 1727, the occasion of the coronation, in London’s Westminster Abbey. Although less widely famed abroad than Handel’s Hallelujah Chorus, “Zadok the Priest,” using texts from the King James Bible, blends voices and instruments into a potent musical statement. The anthem’s majesty is such that it has been used for every English coronation since that of George II. (Wikipedia).
