Georg Friedrich Händel: Zadok The Priest HWV 258 Coronation Anthem: Mixed Choir:

Handel wrote his magnificent Zadock the Priest for the Coronation of King George II and Queen Caroline in 1727 and it has been performed at every British coronation since then. It is often used in royal weddings as well and is the television theme for the UEFA Cup champsionships.This Zadock the Priest is scored for SSAATB Chorus and Piano. Its familiar opening no longer carries the surprise element it once did with the mezzoforte String passage leading to a sudden tutti forte entrance with the words ‘Zadok the Priest’ but it retains its effectiveness. The middle passage is a dancelike ¾ rhythm before the work returns to stately 4/4 for the God Save the King alleluiasand amens.

These four splendid anthems were composed for the coronation of George II in October 1727 and have since retained a position at the heart of the English choral tradition. The popular anthem Zadok the Priest has been performed at all subsequent coronations and Handel's other contributions to the royal occasion - Let thy hand be strengthened  The King shall rejoice and My heart is inditing - have the same majestic grandeur with affecting contrasts between different sections of the sacred texts. The editor Clifford Bartlett has corrected various inconsistencies in Handel's score and completedetails of sources and editorial method additional performance notes and a critical commentary are included.
