Georg Friedrich Händel

Coronation Anthem No.1 'Zadok The Priest'

Zadok The Priest is a Coronation Anthem for King George II and has subsequently been heard at every coronation of the British Crown, during the sovereign's anointing. Scored for SSAATBB and Piano or Organ and delightfully edited for this edition by Donald Burrows.

The opening choral entry of Zadok The Priest is one of the most striking moments in the choral repertory typical of Handel's grand, rousing works.

Note: where possible, the full division of the voices throughout the work should be observed.
