A lot of people think Groves only conducted safe, English music but in fact he was a pioneer of music that was unfashionable or yet to be discovered. For instance, he conducted the first ever full cycle of Mahler symphonies in Britain in one season at the Liverpool Philharmonic subscription concerts. As a young teenager I went to most and was enthralled by the colour of the music and Mahler's magical sound world.
Stumbled upon this by accident. Great to hear Sir Charles Groves with RLPO Orchestra and Choir at full throttle. Delighted too, to see and hear the late, great Des Worthington on 2nd trumpet. I knew him when he was a youngster and worked with him a couple of times when he was at his peak as a player. One of the most underestimated trumpet players of his generation. Sadly died far too young.
This was very well done for Her Majesty! I like this somewhat slower tempo, and it is interesting when focused on the orchestra rather than tbe organ: I seem to notice a bit of Wagnerian influence. One thing I did miss is the robust voices of teenaged boy scholars for the initial "Vivat". But the trebles did a good job.
Woody.EXE has requested this as we both enter Wales’s Abbey next month during our coronation. Hard to believe our coronation is only 4 weeks away and I’m nervous as hell getting crowned in front of my mother
A huge pity that the camera's didn't catch Wiggy the Violist, scraping away in the strings. He was well known for having the sweats and his wig slipping as he played. He kept many an audience member alert during some of the mind numbing performances that Sir Bog Brush (as Sir Charles was affectionately known by members of the ensemble) dragged the RLPO through during his tenure. It was claimed that the rug actually fell off a couple of times much to the hilarity of the audience during a Performance of Verdi's Requiem. (the Tuba Mirum) Other members of the Orchestra at that time was the female flautist with the very weak bladder who sneaked out during the quiet bits where she was not really required,; the trombone section usually found boozing in the Philharmonic Pub, over the road who used to swear blind that the performances always started at 8:00PM rather than at 7:30PM and the Oboist who was having a torrid relationship with a cellist of the same sex. Oh those were the days when the RLPO was an interesting orchestra.
@francois Roche, I really cannot agree with your assessment of the piece. Parry's writing is too technically assured to be considered flimsy, surely; and I defy anyone with an ear or a soul to hear his setting of the words 'pray for the peace of Jerusalem' and feel they're listening to a composer expressing mere jingoism.
I sang this at the RSCM festival at the Albert Hall in 1970. One of the most glorious experiences of my life. Now I am a staunch republican who would love to see the end of the monarchy. Life is interesting.
It's a traditional English "scholarly" dialect of Latin, I believe. From the days when Latin was more commonly spoken 'round the quadrangles of Oxford..!

As a music student our first go-to was always Groves book of history.

Beautiful.
Wow!!! Amazing!!!

I'll try and dig it out! Tod was exceptional, and fully deserved the knighthood he never got.
Wonderful

To hear this hymn after the marriage of Harry and Meghan is both joyful and solidifying to our unity to a loving and glorious God and His Christ.

vivat regina camila , vivat rex carolus
Sweet
What year was this
Some like some not it is surely wonderful for some
Is Latin normally pronounced like this in the UK, or is it unique to the C of E? I can't imagine Catholics singing "Regina" with a long English "I."
It's a traditional English "scholarly" dialect of Latin, I believe. From the days when Latin was more commonly spoken 'round the quadrangles of Oxford..!
It’s the classical pronounciation where as church Latin is common or ‘vulgar’.
I cannot imagine Catholics singing at all.
John Walsh I can... bunch of yowling cats on a fence post at best
@@CJCappella Not at all.
1991.
it's "VIVAT" no "VAIVAT". One thousand years of mispronouncing Latin words.
Latin has many different pronunciations Leo, not one is necessarily correct.
I've never heard such pathetic squeaky "Vivats" before. I'm sure Her Majesty was not amused.
Jog on
Half wit.
