So moving, to watch a young woman in her mid 20s be crowned, and to know she remained faithful to her service for 70 years. How priviledged we have been, thank you.
My mate Peter Hawkins' family had a 9" telly. I saw Quatermass on it. Frightened the heck out of me. He explained adverts to me, I thought it was idiotic for Santa Claus to sing about Murraymints after he came out of the chimney, made no sense to me, why on Earth would he do that ? We got our telly 1960 when I was 13. Cost 50 quid.
Its an Archbishop who puts the Crown on your head...not the Minister or public servant..which means..u r answerable to God in your duty..not the public
Here today on the day of our Majesty’s passing. Thank you Ma’am for 70 years a Queen to the United Kingdom of England. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland 🙏
This is the best version I've heard. It's pure epic. Even more so than usual. Brings tears to my eyes. Pure genius from Handel. May the Queen rest in peace.
It's because the hymn "Zadok the Priest" tells about the coronation of the King Salomon. So, they can't change to "Zadok the Priest and Nathan the prophet annointed Salomon QUEEN" hahaha it wouldn't make sense 😉
For the record that incredible rendition of Zadok the Priest was performed by the Westminster Abbey Choir and London Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Sir Adrian Boult.
TOTALLY INCORRECT`! Dr (later Sir) William McKie conducted the music DURING the actual service. Sir Adrian only conducted the orchestral music before and after the service. It was NOT the LPO either. The Coronation orchestra, of 61 players, comprised the best players from EXACTLY 15 professional orchestras from around the country - including the BBCSO, LPO. LSO, ROH, CBSO, SNO, HALLE etc. The Abbey choir was joined by the full choirs of St Paul's Cathedral, St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle and the Choir of HM Chapels Royal, then augmented by choristers and lay clerks from 18 other choirs around the country numbering 385 in total! All this information, and much, much more, is in the Abbey Library for viewing and research purposes, which is precisely where I got it from.
This is the most stunning version of this epic anthem I've ever heard. The 1953 version had the edge on the 2023 version, as amazing as that was. It always moves me to tears
Traditional choir that’s why. Charles had male and female singers, which whilst is lovely for inclusion, creates a different sound than how this music was intended to be sung. Also, considering how many cutbacks were in 2023, I bet the ‘53 choir is bigger
Definitely we will and I'm very looking forward to watching the Coronation in May this year. I can't believe this is going to be on my birthday which is amazing!
The words to Zadoc the priest have been said at every coronation since King Edgar the Peaceable in 979. The words were set to music by George Frederic Handel for the coronation of King George II in 1727.
She is perfection here - that stunningly simple gown and the graceful way she moves in it. All eyes on the young woman about to be Queen. The grainy black and white images, the distance the TV audience has to keep, the slightly imperfect sound which matters not a jot - it's all just breathtaking.
I think the b&w imagery and the drizzly overcast weather somehow gave the long transmission its own style: silver and gray concentrated attention on the action of the figures. The discreet placement of cameras (not too many prying close-ups) and the slow editing rhythm- shots had to be mixed rather than use fast cutting- give the ceremony a hypnotic, meditative quality. If you prefer color and standard filmic reportage, try 'A Queen is Crowned', the documentary shown in cinemas with Laurence Olivier's florid narration.
How utterly moving to see our beautiful Queen so young and to know what we know now. Her faithfulness, her loyalty and decades of service to Great Britain and her beloved commonwealth - our brothers and sisters! I will always miss her ❤
Wow what an incredible version - when the choir comes in you get a real sense of joy coming through - heralding a new era. Its amazing with all the advances in technology that we can now hear music clearly - yet no other version will be able to sound as great as this one
I think this version is more powerful than the latest one. I really like how the organ is brought in. It doesn't take over but it adds that little kick.
I think the haziness of the recording makes it sound better because of the age and the fact that the recording looks more grand.Adds that glorious flavor
I’ve just listened to both versions and the difference between the two is, firstly, the age of the choristers; I understand the average age of the choir in 1953 was much older than in 2023 and therefore they produced what you might call a fatter sound. The second difference is better quality microphones in the modern age. In this version the higher ranges, which are occupied by sopranos, strings and flutes, distorts. That’s simply down to the quality of equipment they had at the time. I think nostalgia also plays its part too.
I wonder if either Zadok or Nathan could ever have imagined the invocation of their names in quite such a powerful way as Handel allows and demonstrates so magnificently here - some several Millenia later…. on a little Northern European island. It’s a funny old 🌎 but beauty is everywhere. 🙏 No other ceremony on earth comes close to this. Largely made up of Victorian bells and whistle theatre but with core elements from the old pre reformation Latin high church coronation mass translated to the national language. This then dipped in high church Anglicanism creating a melting pot of mystery. Legitimised by history Echoing down the ages in a building used for the same ceremony near enough as in 1066 AD. unequalled unrivalled unsurpassed …..anywhere in the world.
This will be a momentous and moving part of the Coronation service, Zadok the priest is an uplifting piece of music and in this setting will be magnificent. I listen to it almost every day.
She wasa dignified and powerful woman, truly a remarkable Queen! Her reign will always be remembered throughout history. Sending love and prayers to all those in the UK, from the USA.
Edward William our late Queen's reign will be known throughout history but those who remember her reign will eventually die we all know about WWI but everyone is dead who remembers it
She did a remarkable job reigning for 7 decades, she ascended the throne at such a young age, and never wavered in her promise that she’ll serve until the end of her life. She was the epitome of duty.
Comment if you came here from River's broadcast. Wow! That music is so beautiful - it hits you right in the solar plexus! It made me very emotional and if you watch the Queen at the beginning, you can see that her breathing is quite irregular. And then it struck me - every monarch ever crowned goes through the biggest day in their life without (usually) their father...and for King Charles, his Mother. Rather sad irony. It's going to be an incredible day watching history in the making.
Because the slower tempo emphasizes the stateliness of the occasion. Charles wanted to keep the tempos up because he wanted a slimmed down coronation. He lost the stateliness of the 1953 version. Interesting to realize.
Pull away the veil and what are you left with? An ordinary women with of modest ability and little imagination. But wrap her around this and anoint her with oil, and hey presto, what do you have? A goddess
Only music as perfect as this could adequately accompany and magnify such a transcendent moment as the anointing of a queen. Historically, it was the right thing to do, allowing tv cameras to film the coronation so the country could observe.
But, as you see, Queen Elizabeth II's anointing was hidden from view---hence the canopy at the end, about to cover her for that part! It is expected from the released Coronation Liturgy text that for HM King Charles' anointing, a screen will be used so that no one sees this most sacred part of the entire liturgy.
This is like no other hymn. Brilliantly written by Handl and it brings forward the crowning moment. Historical and epic in the history of the British Monarchy. 🇬🇧👑🇬🇧
We visited London that summer - watched the Coronation on the only tv in my grandparent's neighbourhood - in the local pub. An alto who recently retired from the choir of the church where I often play sang in the 400 voice choir. She was studying voice in London with Roy Henderson - a famous baritone and teacher. The great accompanist Gerald Moore also sang in the choir - said he cried through the whole service. I still choke up every time I hear 'I was glad' The 'Vivat's and trumpet fanfares are my earliest music memories.
She was a very special person, the like of which does not come along likely. I can't think of anyone in recent history who has given so much over such a long and sustained period of time. God Bless you and keep you, Elisabeth Secundo Regina. With love from your People.
At the time of the Coronation, my father was doing his National Service in the Far East and my mother a sixth former at grammar school. I have played this work at Orchestra (second violin) years ago. Such great music is very befitting a grand occasion!
As amazing as this earthly ceremony is can you imagine what heaven will be with the King sitting on the throne before countless numbers of persons from every tribe and tongue in adoration. It is written and it will happen.
Man is not destined to be in heaven. Believers are to be resurrected upon the return of Jesus and reign with him for a thousand years before a new earth is established and God himself will descend and forever dwell with his people
@@geordiewishart1683 But redeemed man with his spiritual bodies will. Has showed Moses an earthly tabernacle which will be the model for the heavenly tabernacle. Our natural bodies come first, the spiritual ones second. Everything will be perfect and there will be no more sorrow, pain or death forever and ever and ever. But first must come the allowing of the spirit and man of lawlessness, and the Time of Tribulation. It is surely coming.
I was raised an evangelical Protestant and was initially taught that man had an immortal soul and that upon dying, the soul of a believer went to heaven and then it joined the new incorruptible body upon the resurrection at Christ's return. But further study of the bible shows this is not true. Man does not have an immortal soul. This is a pagan belief. Man IS a soul. A living creature. Even in a sinless state, man was destined to live on earth. NOT heaven. The meek shall inherit the earth etc. The wages of sin is DEATH. And the only hope of the believer is the resurrection. Revelation is a symbolic book, with visions of souls in heaven being symbolic. In my father's house is many mansions. This is not heaven. This is the kingdom on earth.
@@geordiewishart1683 I don’t agree with your philosophy as it’s clear God creates a heavenly city which comes down from heaven. I prefer to believe Paul when he says “our citizenship is in heaven,” which is a real, tangible place.
Nothing more exciting, vibrant and mysterious than the anointing of the Kings, a simple act loaded with tremendous millennial symbolism that unites the holy spirit and divine grace in a mortal, until the Supreme One claims it and the anointed courteously and submissively He delivers it having fulfilled his mission among mortals. The wonderful genius of Handel knew how to transform a combination of musical notes into an enveloping, grand and pompous symphonic environment.
Think how many times Charles must have viewed his mother's coronation. And he was present, at 4 years old, in the balcony with his Aunt Margaret and grandmother the Queen Mother.
I have so much respect for the Queen, she was such a gracious human being . Thank you lord for her long life, the strength you gave her, for her thoughtfulness and of course I can count just how many things I have to be thankful for to you oh Lord🙏🇿🇲🇿🇲💕💞she realky showed love to all races and religions. Kept peace among countries through the Commonwealth. Loved her to death. Thank you Mama 🇿🇲🇿🇲💞💕❤️💓💕
Seeing this after KC3's ceremony really goes to show how much we're in decline. God, why couldn't they summon similar choral forces last Saturday? They had all the money in the world for a cheesy Lionel Richie/ Katie Perry concert, but putting up a little bit of scaffolding in the Abbey is too much to ask? What fckng joke.
For me the very best perfomance of Handels Coronation Anthems...1953 with a wonderful choir and a very young Queen...I love the Queen....she stands for continuity, tradition but also for progress! 🌹warm regards from Germany...
@Martin Baldwin-Edwards How do you work out that the Queen was German? Her mother was Scottish, her father, grandfather, great grandfather, great great grandmother were all British.
@Martin Baldwin-Edwards Yup. But you can't tell ideologues that. The Saxe Coburgs are of the House of Guelph. Take it far back and all these mafia bloodlines are of Roman patrician origin. The Saxe Coburgs are granted their position by far more powerful elite houses such as the Aldobrandini, Colonna, Orsini etc. Rothschilds are minions. Evil to the core, all of them. Heck, even King Charles bragged about his ancestor Vlad the Impaler. All roads lead to Rome. End of.
@@archiebald4717 The British Royal Family is of virtually 100% German ancestry. Of course all of the ancestors, monarchs and consorts, were British, but ethnically they remained remarkably German for several generations. King George I spoke only German. The Royal spouses (consorts) were all German (except Queen Alexandra who was Danish), because the British constitution didn't allow the monarch or consort to be Catholic, and other countries such as Spain and France were traditionally Catholic. The language spoken among the British Royal Family as late as the reign of Queen Victoria was German. The Royal Family's German origins became a problem during World War I and it was then that they officially changed their surname to "Windsor" from "Saxe-Coburg and Gotha," the German Royal House which Prince Albert was born into.
Ive loved this piece ever since I first heard it in 1977 when it was used as the theme for the BBC series Royal Heritage, a wonderful series about the Royal Collection.
You don't need to fear; she formed and trained her son and heir very well. He is far more popular than most media want to admit, and he has been preparing consciously for this role for 70 years. He also embodies much of all that was best about her late Majesty. God bless her memory, and God Save the King!
"So where did your youtube rabbit hole take you this time?" "I found grainy footage of the Queen's coronation in England. I started off looking for Neon Genesis Evangelion videos."
This recording presumably from 1953 is significantly slower than the current 2023 performance. Which allows me to better follow the music. It's a big help in the more ornate sections.
Queen Elizabeth's coronation was the very first thing my mother ever watched on television at age 14. Neighbors had bought a TV and invited the neighbors to watch with them.
this is 100 per cent more powerful than we got on saturday, you need the abbey to be packed to get the power of thses anthems. though the vivat greetings were flat as well, they should bellow them out and the archbishop fiddling with the crown when he placed it on charles head
Solomon failed God, this Anthem also predicts the eventual fail of The Monarchy. Towards the end of Queen Elizabeth's ll's long reign, we now see a Catholic Prime Minister. Prince Charles always has his mind opened to the mystics and occult. Camilla Parker Bowles shares her birthday with the execution of the Romanov's. God punished Solomon through his off spring. Rehoboam, Solomon's successor was a fail, not popular with the people, raised taxes.... Handel was brilliant, (Piscean), he chose Solomon for this majestic masterpiece for good reason.
For sure. We had ppl in the chat asking questions since commentators were terrible at explaining things. We had to take time to explain the process, the meaning, the music, everything.
The Queen gets to hear this sung by a full choir each year, on Maundy Thursday (the day before Good Friday at Eastertide), while she hands out Maundy coins to deserving old folk (she does this in lieu of washing their feet, as Jesus washed the feet of his disciples, to demonstrate that the greatest shall become least). She hands out as many coins as her age, so her task increases as she gets older. She stipulates that 'Zadok the Priest' be sung.
@Martin Baldwin-Edwards Do you really think it's practical for a head of state to wash people's feet in the modern day? Sure it doesn't compare to what Jesus may have done but those folk need the money more than clean feet
@Martin Baldwin-Edwards I love the idea that a man with a double-barelled surname talks about class and snobbery. (like the Queen, your poshness is not your choice fault nor under your control but..the irony remains good fun. CHEERS!😊)
This is the most sacred part of the service. So instead of stopping talking and let you listen to it. I will talk all over it. The first bit is the best bit and everyone talks all over it.
Mum remembers watching this as a young woman in Yorkshire, one of the few homes with a television, neighbours piling in to watch the coronation with my gran serving sandwiches and endless cups of tea, despite her own opinion that the monarchy were 'expensive ornaments'.
Government Hooker i was born in Lambeth that day, its about a twenty minute walk from the Abbey, my grandad hired a telly so that everyone could watch the Coronation together, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, and uncle tom cobbley and all, they all arrived with sandwiches and flasks of tea, so they wouldnt miss anything, all really excited, not just for the Coronation, but to actually see a telly at home. Well they were all enjoying themselves, when my mum started going into labour, they had to dash up the hospital, and missed the lot.
My parents were both born before the Second World War. My father a 20 year old National Service conscript in Hong Kong and my mother a Grammar School sixth former aged almost 17. Both old enough to remember the event.
I was 9 years old watched the whole ceremony, even in black and white it was breath taking.I loved the music but most of all the call ' Vivat Regina'. I don't think 'Vivat Rex' will sound as good.
The Duke of Norfolk must have studied this recording meticulously, and the Archbishop, when they were preparing what exactly to do for the first coronation in 70 years - which no one involved had ever seen before. Except for a 4 year old boy, his head in his hands, next to his grandmother in the balcony with his sister Anne, 3. I wonder what Charles remembers of that first, earlier coronation, that might help recreate an historically correct new coronation of that small boy, now a 74 year old man, and the center of all the ceremony.
I believe the televising stopped when the canopy was brought to the Queen in King Edward's Chair, for the annointing must not be seen by anyone but the Queen and the Archbishop. The 2023 coronation setting for the annointing was truly beautiful and impressive, the panels brought in and arranged around the King in King Edward's Chair, with red-coated soldiers standing at attention, heads down so as not to see anything of this most holy ceremony.
Someone wrote me that the present Duke of Kent was also at the 1953 coronation. Since he is now 87, he could have remembered the coronation of 70 years ago.
This was Britain showing the world that they were saved by God through their men and women who paid the ultimate price.They were going to show the world that this was their Queen.

@@ryanhunter2987 *Hear hear
Yes, consecration by election surpasses your mortal understanding. Silly serf.
We have Prince Phillip to thank for having this wonderful historic recording.
The coronation anthem is epic. It has no match. There are great anthems but Handel proved his greatness with the Alleluyah chorus and this one.
that is simply a fact. Also love the 1950s heavy-handed but passionate playing!
Very emotional
Yes, this one is Zadok the Priest.
Also that entrance piece from h & m wedding- the song written for queen Anne's birthday - Light divine.
Divine music elevates the soul heavenward. In that great cathedral I can only imagine the power of the experience in that moment.
Here today on the day of our Majesty’s passing. Thank you Ma’am for 70 years a Queen to the United Kingdom of England. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland 🙏

Yes, and Canada. Today marking the 97th year of her birth. I am grateful to have been alive during her gracious reign. ❤
Our Queen, by The Grace of God, for more 70 years , and now , Elizabeth II, The Great, for History.
This is the best version I've heard. It's pure epic. Even more so than usual. Brings tears to my eyes. Pure genius from Handel. May the Queen rest in peace.
LISTEN TO THE VERSION OF THE CORONATION OF KING GEORGE VI , 1937
Agreed this is much better than King Charles's arrangement.
@@mountbatten2222 I like this better. The other one was a bit too slow.
I respect them a lot for not editing the words to say Queen instead of King. They stayed true to the original lyrics

According to my surname and family lore, I am a descendant of the Prophet Nathan. Handel's invocation is sublime.
Almost, however the Conqueror himself was anointed and crowned in Winchester Cathedral

This will be a momentous and moving part of the Coronation service, Zadok the priest is an uplifting piece of music and in this setting will be magnificent.
I listen to it almost every day.
A magnificent piece that brings goosebumps every time I hear it.
It's awesome

Only music as perfect as this could adequately accompany and magnify such a transcendent moment as the anointing of a queen. Historically, it was the right thing to do, allowing tv cameras to film the coronation so the country could observe.
But, as you see, Queen Elizabeth II's anointing was hidden from view---hence the canopy at the end, about to cover her for that part! It is expected from the released Coronation Liturgy text that for HM King Charles' anointing, a screen will be used so that no one sees this most sacred part of the entire liturgy.
The Queen was anointed as we were at baptism to remind us that we are part of a royal priesthood
Nothing like Zadok the Priest by Handel. Love, Love, Love.
Goosebumps every time.
I adore baroque! It's so regal!
This is like no other hymn. Brilliantly written by Handl and it brings forward the crowning moment. Historical and epic in the history of the British Monarchy. 🇬🇧👑🇬🇧
We visited London that summer - watched the Coronation on the only tv in my grandparent's neighbourhood - in the local pub. An alto who recently retired from the choir of the church where I often play sang in the 400 voice choir. She was studying voice in London with Roy Henderson - a famous baritone and teacher. The great accompanist Gerald Moore also sang in the choir - said he cried through the whole service. I still choke up every time I hear 'I was glad' The 'Vivat's and trumpet fanfares are my earliest music memories.
Gives me goosebumps each time I hear it...
"Jesus Christ is Lord"
She was a very special person, the like of which does not come along likely. I can't think of anyone in recent history who has given so much over such a long and sustained period of time. God Bless you and keep you, Elisabeth Secundo Regina. With love from your People.
I can hardly wait to hear this for William.
At the time of the Coronation, my father was doing his National Service in the Far East and my mother a sixth former at grammar school. I have played this work at Orchestra (second violin) years ago. Such great music is very befitting a grand occasion!
As amazing as this earthly ceremony is can you imagine what heaven will be with the King sitting on the throne before countless numbers of persons from every tribe and tongue in adoration. It is written and it will happen.
Man is not destined to be in heaven.
Believers are to be resurrected upon the return of Jesus and reign with him for a thousand years before a new earth is established and God himself will descend and forever dwell with his people
@@geordiewishart1683 But redeemed man with his spiritual bodies will. Has showed Moses an earthly tabernacle which will be the model for the heavenly tabernacle. Our natural bodies come first, the spiritual ones second. Everything will be perfect and there will be no more sorrow, pain or death forever and ever and ever.
But first must come the allowing of the spirit and man of lawlessness, and the Time of Tribulation. It is surely coming.
I was raised an evangelical Protestant and was initially taught that man had an immortal soul and that upon dying, the soul of a believer went to heaven and then it joined the new incorruptible body upon the resurrection at Christ's return.
But further study of the bible shows this is not true.
Man does not have an immortal soul.
This is a pagan belief.
Man IS a soul. A living creature.
Even in a sinless state, man was destined to live on earth. NOT heaven.
The meek shall inherit the earth etc.
The wages of sin is DEATH.
And the only hope of the believer is the resurrection.
Revelation is a symbolic book, with visions of souls in heaven being symbolic.
In my father's house is many mansions.
This is not heaven.
This is the kingdom on earth.
The man of sin is papacy
@@geordiewishart1683 I don’t agree with your philosophy as it’s clear God creates a heavenly city which comes down from heaven. I prefer to believe Paul when he says “our citizenship is in heaven,” which is a real, tangible place.
Nothing more exciting, vibrant and mysterious than the anointing of the Kings, a simple act loaded with tremendous millennial symbolism that unites the holy spirit and divine grace in a mortal, until the Supreme One claims it and the anointed courteously and submissively He delivers it having fulfilled his mission among mortals. The wonderful genius of Handel knew how to transform a combination of musical notes into an enveloping, grand and pompous symphonic environment.
River sent me to this channel. This is SO beautiful. Love from 🇺🇸
Think how many times Charles must have viewed his mother's coronation. And he was present, at 4 years old, in the balcony with his Aunt Margaret and grandmother the Queen Mother.
I have so much respect for the Queen, she was such a gracious human being . Thank you lord for her long life, the strength you gave her, for her thoughtfulness and of course I can count just how many things I have to be thankful for to you oh Lord🙏🇿🇲🇿🇲💕💞she realky showed love to all races and religions. Kept peace among countries through the Commonwealth. Loved her to death. Thank you Mama 🇿🇲🇿🇲💞💕❤️💓💕
Seeing this after KC3's ceremony really goes to show how much we're in decline. God, why couldn't they summon similar choral forces last Saturday?
They had all the money in the world for a cheesy Lionel Richie/ Katie Perry concert, but putting up a little bit of scaffolding in the Abbey is too much to ask?
What fckng joke.
She was anointed to lead the new generation in the second Elizabethan era.
And she perfectly did it ....apart from corrupted government
For me the very best perfomance of Handels Coronation Anthems...1953 with a wonderful choir and a very young Queen...I love the Queen....she stands for continuity, tradition but also for progress! 🌹warm regards from Germany...
I think the same 🥰 Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽❤️
@Martin Baldwin-Edwards as were the Angles and Saxons.
@Martin Baldwin-Edwards How do you work out that the Queen was German? Her mother was Scottish, her father, grandfather, great grandfather, great great grandmother were all British.
@Martin Baldwin-Edwards Yup. But you can't tell ideologues that. The Saxe Coburgs are of the House of Guelph. Take it far back and all these mafia bloodlines are of Roman patrician origin. The Saxe Coburgs are granted their position by far more powerful elite houses such as the Aldobrandini, Colonna, Orsini etc. Rothschilds are minions. Evil to the core, all of them. Heck, even King Charles bragged about his ancestor Vlad the Impaler. All roads lead to Rome. End of.
@@archiebald4717 The British Royal Family is of virtually 100% German ancestry. Of course all of the ancestors, monarchs and consorts, were British, but ethnically they remained remarkably German for several generations. King George I spoke only German. The Royal spouses (consorts) were all German (except Queen Alexandra who was Danish), because the British constitution didn't allow the monarch or consort to be Catholic, and other countries such as Spain and France were traditionally Catholic.
The language spoken among the British Royal Family as late as the reign of Queen Victoria was German. The Royal Family's German origins became a problem during World War I and it was then that they officially changed their surname to "Windsor" from "Saxe-Coburg and Gotha," the German Royal House which Prince Albert was born into.
The privilege of watching the past when her Majesty's little lad is now King.
Long live the Queen and she did live long and serve the country and commonwealth well!
Ive loved this piece ever since I first heard it in 1977 when it was used as the theme for the BBC series Royal Heritage, a wonderful series about the Royal Collection.
She has now gone to be with the lord in heaven above. AMEN
Amen
I’m just amazed they uploaded this to TH-cam in 1953
no one in the future will come close to her remarkability, I fear for the future of the country
You don't need to fear; she formed and trained her son and heir very well. He is far more popular than most media want to admit, and he has been preparing consciously for this role for 70 years. He also embodies much of all that was best about her late Majesty. God bless her memory, and God Save the King!
@@ryanhunter2987 Plus he is more forward-thinking; a good thing.
"So where did your youtube rabbit hole take you this time?"
"I found grainy footage of the Queen's coronation in England. I started off looking for Neon Genesis Evangelion videos."
Ha ha I get it, it's because Handel is played in Evangelion.
My Queen, my country. The Greatest ever. Bless you your Majesty, thank you for always being their all my life. A standard bearer and example. ❤️💐
This recording presumably from 1953 is significantly slower than the current 2023 performance. Which allows me to better follow the music. It's a big help in the more ornate sections.
Queen Elizabeth's coronation was the very first thing my mother ever watched on television at age 14. Neighbors had bought a TV and invited the neighbors to watch with them.
So joyous. I love this ceremony.
Such a big responsibility for a young girl never be another so dedicated
RIP You're Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II 😥 Long Live The King!
The best rendition for the best monarch ever.
this is 100 per cent more powerful than we got on saturday, you need the abbey to be packed to get the power of thses anthems.
though the vivat greetings were flat as well, they should bellow them out
and the archbishop fiddling with the crown when he placed it on charles head
This choir also seems to have included grown men with developed gonads, which makes a difference
Oh the majesty and wonder of it all!
Adoro está musica de Handel, ainda mais agora que nossa querida rainha Elizabeth II, se foi... Estará para sempre ligada à está música!!!!!
Poor King Solomon never had this magnificent music for his coronation!
😂😂😂 humorously sad but true
Presently the British monarch is the only Royal of any kingdom that is head of both church and state
@@graceandstrength5186 Good point. Unless one considers the Vatican a state?
Birds and jinns were singing for King Sulayman
Solomon failed God, this Anthem also predicts the eventual fail of The Monarchy. Towards the end of Queen Elizabeth's ll's long reign, we now see a Catholic Prime Minister. Prince Charles always has his mind opened to the mystics and occult. Camilla Parker Bowles shares her birthday with the execution of the Romanov's. God punished Solomon through his off spring. Rehoboam, Solomon's successor was a fail, not popular with the people, raised taxes....
Handel was brilliant, (Piscean), he chose Solomon for this majestic masterpiece for good reason.
Their will never be another like her she really kept her promise and served us to the end RIP ma’am
This Great Coronation Version of Zadok The Preist Performed 70 Years Ago For Our Great Queen , Remains My Favorite To This Very Day !!!...
3:47 I think one of the Queen's consort must've gotten a text message during the annointment.
This commentary >>> today's BBC commentary on CR coronation for sure
For sure. We had ppl in the chat asking questions since commentators were terrible at explaining things. We had to take time to explain the process, the meaning, the music, everything.
cant wait to hear this on saturday !!!
I sincerely hope that no commentator will speak during Zadok the Priest this time.
Zadok. What a fabulous name ✨
The Queen gets to hear this sung by a full choir each year, on Maundy Thursday (the day before Good Friday at Eastertide), while she hands out Maundy coins to deserving old folk (she does this in lieu of washing their feet, as Jesus washed the feet of his disciples, to demonstrate that the greatest shall become least). She hands out as many coins as her age, so her task increases as she gets older. She stipulates that 'Zadok the Priest' be sung.
I have always wondered what she was doing while this song is played .Thank you so much for clarifying ! What an incredible Queen
I didn't know this. Thanks for the info
@Martin Baldwin-Edwards Do you really think it's practical for a head of state to wash people's feet in the modern day? Sure it doesn't compare to what Jesus may have done but those folk need the money more than clean feet
@Martin Baldwin-Edwards True
@Martin Baldwin-Edwards I love the idea that a man with a double-barelled surname talks about class and snobbery. (like the Queen, your poshness is not your choice fault nor under your control but..the irony remains good fun. CHEERS!😊)
I cannot listen to this without stiffening a tear and I’m an old man.
This is the most sacred part of the service. So instead of stopping talking and let you listen to it. I will talk all over it. The first bit is the best bit and everyone talks all over it.
R.I.P. Queen Elizabeth II. May her memory be a blessing!
We will not see her like again, so much the pity. God save the Queen!
Just throughly amazing. Watching this the night of Charles coronation!
Beautiful just beautiful RIP our Queen and thank you 🙏
Mum remembers watching this as a young woman in Yorkshire, one of the few homes with a television, neighbours piling in to watch the coronation with my gran serving sandwiches and endless cups of tea, despite her own opinion that the monarchy were 'expensive ornaments'.
Government Hooker
i was born in Lambeth that day, its about a twenty minute walk from the Abbey, my grandad hired a telly so that everyone could watch the Coronation together, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, and uncle tom cobbley and all, they all arrived with sandwiches and flasks of tea, so they wouldnt miss anything, all really excited, not just for the Coronation, but to actually see a telly at home. Well they were all enjoying themselves, when my mum started going into labour, they had to dash up the hospital, and missed the lot.
In fact the Monarchy is not funded from taxation.
I was eight years old when I saw Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation, and I have loved Her Majesty ever since! God Save the Queen!!
Save
Save
May God save you too.
My parents were both born before the Second World War. My father a 20 year old National Service conscript in Hong Kong and my mother a Grammar School sixth former aged almost 17. Both old enough to remember the event.
I was 9 years old watched the whole ceremony, even in black and white it was breath taking.I loved the music but most of all the call ' Vivat Regina'. I don't think 'Vivat Rex' will sound as good.
The Duke of Norfolk must have studied this recording meticulously, and the Archbishop, when they were preparing what exactly to do for the first coronation in 70 years - which no one involved had ever seen before. Except for a 4 year old boy, his head in his hands, next to his grandmother in the balcony with his sister Anne, 3. I wonder what Charles remembers of that first, earlier coronation, that might help recreate an historically correct new coronation of that small boy, now a 74 year old man, and the center of all the ceremony.
I believe the televising stopped when the canopy was brought to the Queen in King Edward's Chair, for the annointing must not be seen by anyone but the Queen and the Archbishop. The 2023 coronation setting for the annointing was truly beautiful and impressive, the panels brought in and arranged around the King in King Edward's Chair, with red-coated soldiers standing at attention, heads down so as not to see anything of this most holy ceremony.
Someone wrote me that the present Duke of Kent was also at the 1953 coronation. Since he is now 87, he could have remembered the coronation of 70 years ago.
Aqui só tinha dois pequenos anos, não recordo, mas hoje sei que foi uma grande Rainha, que Deus a receba na sua santa Morada.
May God bless Her Majesty. 🇬🇧
Wow SO POWERFUL. LOVE ZADOK THE PRIEST. ❤
God bless Her Majesty! The longest serving head of state in the world. And the most dignified one.,..
Yes - God bless!!
2nd longest.
I love his accent. People should still speak like he did.
And the slower tempo is more stately.
The first ever broadcast coronation and her son's, the Kings, will soon be the first ever streamed coronation. I wonder what the next will bring?
Beautiful. Thank you
This was Britain showing the world that they were saved by God through their men and women who paid the ultimate price.They were going to show the world that this was their Queen.
Yes but see how is Britain today...so sad
I love the narration, explaining what is going on and to happen. Hallowing - what does that mean?
Eileen, it means consecration. To make holy.
Thanks for posting.
