  1. Coronation Anthem No 1: Zadok the Priest HWV 258 - George Frideric Handel
  2. Coronation Anthem No 2: Let thy hand be strengthened HWV 259 - George Frideric Handel
  3. Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace - Samuel Sebastian Wesley
  4. I was glad - Sir Charles Hubert Hastings Parry
  5. Coronation Gloria in B flat - Sir Charles Villiers Stanford
  6. Thou knowest, Lord, the secrets of our hearts - Henry Purcell

Looking back over Queen Elizabeth II’s long 70 year reign, witnessing the joyful celebrations of her Platinum Jubilee, sadly followed by the solemnity and pageantry of her funeral, and then forward to King Charles III’s coronation in May 2023, it seems entirely appropriate for our 2023 SingingDay to explore the treasure trove of British ceremonial music specially composed over many centuries for royal occasions.

In addition to well known works such as Handel’s Zadok the Priest and Parry’s I was glad, we’ll be singing anthems and motets by Wesley, Stanford and Purcell. Even if you already know the music well, Neil Taylor will find ways of improving your vocal technique and helping you deliver a performance fit for a king. Come and join us for a royal day of singing.

This event regulary sells out so please book early. Registration is from 9.30am, the singing starts at 10.15am and the concert at 5.30pm.
