Shortly after Charles III’s coronation we bring you all the greatest music written for Coronation services between Charles II (1661) and George III (1761), including four of the greatest anthems ever written: John Blow’s ‘God spake sometime in visions’, Henry Purcell’s ‘My heart in inditing’ and Handel’s ‘Zadok the priest’ and ‘My heart is inditing’. As befits the special occasion, Psalmody is augmented for the glorious eight-part choral writing and the orchestra features three trumpets, timpani, oboes, bassoons, strings and continuo.
