The psalms themselves encourage movement in worship, along with clapping of hands and making loud noise with instruments. Worship isn't supposed to be from the neck up.
@@johnd3233 Clearly you haven't read or sung them. "O praise God in his holiness, praise him in the height. Praise him for his noble acts, praise him according to his excellent greatness. Praise him in the sound of the trumpet, praise him upon the lute and harp. Praise him in the cymbals and *dances,* praise him upon the strings and pipe. Praise him upon the well-tuned cymbals, praise him upon the loud cymbals. Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord." (Psalm 150)
@MS-19 One psalm that mentions the word dancing? That's it? That doesn't mean sway around like a monkey in a tree whenever you sing a song. "The psalms encourage movement" is certainly a stretch. Maybe you should read them all, you clearly haven't.
The Bible encourages dancing as part of worship ("Praise him in the cymbals and dances" - Psalm 150) and it is part of this style of music, engendered by the pulse and helping to maintain ensemble.
I went with family to the Scottish highlands to scatter my little brother's ashes on the first anniversary of his death. I kept hearing this beautiful song in my head, which was performed for everyone just three days before at the coronation, while we scattered his earthly remains amongst the most magnificent scenery. I just had to hear this again. Thank you so much for this video. These glorious voices, to me, also praise the life of someone who brought so much joy into my life.
@quitepossiblylucky There were plenty of those providing music in the service - and let's not forget that it was a service, before God and offered to God, not to the people.
@@amyw6808 multi-racial you mean antiwhite racist. 'Diversity' is codeword for white replacement a la Kalerg1 plan and 'migration' aka colonialism. Indigenous British/European people deserve a homeland without blacks and Asians, who have their own racial homelands, that they like to keep all to themselves, racially homogenous. Apparently, it's not colonialism when blacks and Asians invade and infiltrate en mass indigenous European peoples racial homelands, but a few white people in their racial homelands is a great evil -colonialism.
Beautiful And the smile on King Charles' face says it all. He was clearly moved. Lady Louise, Catherine Princess of Wales and Edward Duke of Edinburgh had huge smiles on their faces also. I have read King Charles enjoys gospel music.
@Sidek0 So the worship of God is exclusively British, is it? Christopher Smart understood quite correctly when he wrote, in his poem 'Jubilate Agno', "Rejoice in God, O ye tongues - Nations and languages and every creature in which is the breath of life - Let man and beast appear before him and magnify his name together." Think on that as you cling to the childish notion of Britishness, which will be as ash in the wind on the day of judgement.
Nations refers only to the 12 tribes of Israel, i.e., the Europeans. Bleks are refered to as beasts of the field in the Bible. And mixing with them is punishable by death. Interesting
Thank you so much for posting this miraculous moment of music. As I watched it on the livestream, overwhelmed with wonder at how an octet could sound so seraphic, tears cleansed my vision and I saw a blessing way for our new Kind King, Commonwealth and children of God on Earth. Peace,
That’s possible, but there is also no counter to the cynical charge of bad faith. It is also equally possible that this was part of a sincere effort to incorporate different traditions and religions to better reflect a diverse Kingdom.
Its nothing like a pure gospel composition. This piece was composed by Debbie Wiseman and given to the choir to sing. Its not the type of song they will normally sing but I will say they did a great job with it.
All the music today was performed beautifully. I must admit my favourite was Sir Bryn Terfel and the choir singing Kyrie Eleison in Welsh, goosebumps and a rush of emotion just the highlight for me ❤
Some people are commenting negatively about these extraordinary singers' rhythmic movements out of sheer ignorance or racial pettiness. Since when have soulful Gospel Singers stood stiff in one spot? Whole Gospel choirs of 50 or 70 people sway back and forth rhythmically. King Charles III knew exactly what he was getting. He personally requested them after seeing them at previous events/engagements including the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's wedding.
@@notillatall Perhaps Europeans should not have got them from Africa. What you're seeking is conformity and assimilation into an Anglos society. That's not going to happen, and King Charles was not seeking such when he invited them. How mundane and culturally ignorant of you. 🤣🤣
People are allowed to express a dislike or like. Honestly, it's shut up or be accused of 'sheer ignorance or racial pettiness'?? Why bring the race card into this. Gospel choirs, whilst beautiful music are not going to be liked by everyone, in the same way others won't like traditional choral or organ music. If we all liked the same thing, we'd be very boring.

@blakrumbaAre you aware that gospel music derived from ACTUAL GOSPEL MUSIC FROM EUROPE? It’s from times when Christians spread the gospel throughout the world - including amongst Africans and African Americans who gave it their own distinct style
Exactly, there is no gospel tradition in the UK, it's an American thing and looked plain stupid here in the ancient Westminster Abbey. Horrible fad moment.
No it isn't you can visibly see the puzzled crowed. There is a political obsession at the moment with cramming diversity in every corner of British culture. If they didn't do this they would probably get called racist.
My dog, who has been known to 'watch' TV, stopped when this came on and was transfixed on the television, he actually ran towards it. 😇Nothing I have seen before, it made me think of the underground temples with the sound chambers of the ancient past. Everyone knows that certain musical frequencies have special effects on people.
I must say, listening to just pure, beautiful human voices; no instruments or accompaniments is such a uniquely powerful experience! That was simply mesmerizing.
They are without excuse! Christ is King over all the earth! Repent,believe in him,bow down and seek his salvation. This is what you ought to do to be saved 1.(John 3:16-18), 2.(Acts 2:37-38).
Utterly non European for an ancient Christian European ceremony. Would a symphony orchestra be a necessary part of a tribal chief ceremony in Nigeria or is diversity all one way?
@Fidelisjoff "Praise him in the sound of the trumpet, praise him upon the lute and harp. Praise him in the cymbals and dances, praise him upon the strings and pipe. Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord." (Psalm 150) Furthermore, Christianity itself did not begin in Europe. Ditto Islam, Buddhism and the other major religions. Therefore, any ascription of nationality to an act of worship, or appraisal of musical content, is ash before the wind.
@@we.are.all.barabbas NEVER! Generally, Black people just know God in a different way. Not better… just differently. I’m one of the first ones up and moving! 😂😂
This is supposed to be a hymn of praise to God, it should be reverent and these Black singers are swaying their bodies like it's a sexual dance ritual not to mention that the singing is awful too.
Would’ve been totally fine if they weren’t moving like that. Just stand still and sing the song. And it’s a good song I’ll give them that. Though i Don’t think this exact moment will age well. It’s so out of place
Why tf did they choose THAT song. Why are they in the middle of everyone? I see what they were trying to do, but this was a little cringe and a little out of place. I've heard some insane Gospel choirs. Amongst all the other epic choir music they had, this honestly felt like a Britain's got talent act.
This was not meant to be a gospel performance. People are just getting it all wrong. The choir that sang at Prince Harry's wedding sang gospel. This is nothing like it.
I presume you mean black people/ethnic people in general. How? Most of them are UK citizens, many of them were born and raised in the UK, some come from families who have been in the UK for 3 or more generations so don't have any connections to their ancestral homelands anymore. Repatriation/expelling whole populations is just not politically or logistically feasible in the modern era. In any case, there aren't many people involved in ethnonationalism in the UK, and very few who are comptent/educated and aren't social outcasts, losers, nutcases or idiots.
@colerobbins124 Is that what God thinks, or what you think? I'm asking because acts of worship are for God and not for you or me... presumably you knew that?
"Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise him in the cymbals and dances." (Psalm 150) Ultimately an act of worship is not for the people but for God; nothing else matters.
@mitchmate368 Tradition was alive and kicking throughout the service (see Parry, Handel, Byrd, Walton, plainchant, robed choir etc.) which was an offering to God and not to you or me. Traditions that are not refreshed will ossify and deserve to die. Psalm 150 instructs the faithful to praise God in the dance and on all manner of instruments - "Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord."
This is not gospel. The group that sang at the Royal wedding in 2018 was. They might be a gospel choir but are not singing in a traditional gospel style.
The comments here are bizarre. The Anglican Gospel choir singing about heaping praise on god and the king is out of place , but you don’t hear anyone asking why there was a Greek Orthodox chant /Byzantine rite, which is even more out of place - especially given the fact that much of this process is about confirming the true Protestant faith etc. I wonder what the difference might be and what that tells us about certain people’s mindset…
They're trying to have a strong black presence to show that they are not racist....I never thought they were racist but since Meghan accused them now they have to defend themselves.
This is a fantastic gospel choir doing their utmost to make gospel music out of a piece that should have been sung by a more traditional choir. They looked uncomfortable and awkward singing this. They needed proper gospel music. Consequently this piece never took off. A lovely composition and an amazing choir which do not go together. It was if whoever organised the music just didn't want to take a risk and played it safe.
Imagine being one of the Hereditary Peers whose family have been loyal to the Monarchy for several centuries, not getting an invite to the Coronation, and instead having this take your place
I was like “why are they moving around?” Then next thing I was crying. Lovely performance. And it was nice to be able to understand what they were saying. Sometimes choirs get so “angelical” you can’t understand a word they’re saying.
Yes, it was very beautiful! Gospel singers/choirs dance ( moving around) because dancing is mention often in them bible (especially in the Old Testament) as a means of worship and praise to God.
It was a crying shame when they started to dance, as it totally detracted from the wonderful singing" and left lookers on puzzled? Like they were watching Sister Act with Whoopy Goldberg.
@intellect1st122 Psalm 150: "Praise him in the cymbals and *dances* ... Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord." Worship is not offered to any 'onlookers' but to God, who alone is the audience and judge.

My dog, who has been known to 'watch' TV, stopped when this came on and was transfixed on the television, he actually ran towards it. 😇Nothing I have seen before, it made me think of the underground temples with the sound chambers of the ancient past. Everyone knows that certain musical frequencies have special effects on people.
Wow!!!
The ceremony is very Holy and soul.
I believed it is not about anything behind there.
Great guard dog.
Another formerly proud empire willingly submitting itself to occupation
I must say, listening to just pure, beautiful human voices; no instruments or accompaniments is such a uniquely powerful experience! That was simply mesmerizing.
Voices of the Heavens..BEAUTIFUL ❤❤❤
Beautiful! Praises to the King of all Kings - Christ Jesus Lord of all.
Woman on the right was doing the 'gibs me dat' dance with her hands @0:36. Very powerful.
POWERFUL gibbings of dat indeed
😂
They are without excuse! Christ is King over all the earth! Repent,believe in him,bow down and seek his salvation. This is what you ought to do to be saved 1.(John 3:16-18), 2.(Acts 2:37-38).
I had tears streaming down my cheeks. The gospel group were so moving.
I love how they put everything even their bodies into their singing.
I had tears streaming down my face as well....... but for many many other reasons SMH

You all are racist pigs. The gorillas though. It merely shows your ignorance as always.
@Mister_Midnight racist
Beautiful
Whose idea was it?
The king
Utterly non European for an ancient Christian European ceremony. Would a symphony orchestra be a necessary part of a tribal chief ceremony in Nigeria or is diversity all one way?
@Fidelisjoff "Praise him in the sound of the trumpet, praise him upon the lute and harp. Praise him in the cymbals and dances, praise him upon the strings and pipe. Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord." (Psalm 150)
Furthermore, Christianity itself did not begin in Europe. Ditto Islam, Buddhism and the other major religions.
Therefore, any ascription of nationality to an act of worship, or appraisal of musical content, is ash before the wind.
Saw a man roll his eyes smh
Mine are still stuck at the top
There's a lot of us doing a lot more than just rolling our eyes. The fatigue is setting in.
Sorry
I too feel sick
I used to go to church of England services at school they were nothing like this.
🎉🎉🎉
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉
You can see who really liked it.
And who did not! Namely the girl in the blue hat behind them who kept visibly rolling her eyes.
How rude. She was sat with the Peers too.
Who is she?
@@ferdyholim5687 honest.
If y’all think this is a lot of movement, do NOT go to a Black church in America. LOL We are FESTIVE!
Never planned to 😂 ours aren’t and thats ok.
Haha these "reserved" people wouldn't stand a chance
@@KaineMoreland Beats falling asleep during service. And that’s also okay. Lol
@@we.are.all.barabbas NEVER! Generally, Black people just know God in a different way. Not better… just differently. I’m one of the first ones up and moving! 😂😂
This is supposed to be a hymn of praise to God, it should be reverent and these Black singers are swaying their bodies like it's a sexual dance ritual not to mention that the singing is awful too.
Ridiculous
Would’ve been totally fine if they weren’t moving like that. Just stand still and sing the song. And it’s a good song I’ll give them that. Though i Don’t think this exact moment will age well. It’s so out of place
you are but a vocal minority
@@kreuner11
Explain
@@MichaelJ44 well what is wrong with gospel, most people don't think it is blasphemous to celebrate God by song
@@kreuner11
WRONG
@@MichaelJ44 explain please o wise one
Why tf did they choose THAT song. Why are they in the middle of everyone? I see what they were trying to do, but this was a little cringe and a little out of place. I've heard some insane Gospel choirs. Amongst all the other epic choir music they had, this honestly felt like a Britain's got talent act.
They didn't choose it. It was commissioned and written for the coronation.
Out of place because they sing with joy and praise.
@@dgse83 ok? still shit
@@dgse83 obviously composed by someone who has no idea of what Gospel music is!
This was not meant to be a gospel performance. People are just getting it all wrong. The choir that sang at Prince Harry's wedding sang gospel. This is nothing like it.
Their voices were awesome
And this is what Candace Owens didn’t like lol
She already made a video providing her thoughts. And they’re not good lol.
my least favorite of the whole celebration
I get it you were looking for glorified chamber music you could fall asleep to. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
GOD 🙏 REMIND US OF HUMANITY ♻️🌍☮️🙂♥️
One of my favorite moments of the coronation . This choir is MARVELOUS
Love it! and love the Lord my God Jesus The Christ!
Funny guy, just imagine one day considering Jesus would not completly destroy this whole joke if he was on earth, you are so funny
I love Jesus Christ the Savior!
The dark spot of an otherwise impeccable ceremony.
This is why we can't have nice things anymore.
@@Leviathan1999 Fried chicken probably.
We get it, youre racist
We get it, youre racist
You wish you can sing with such authority and power. You are the dark spot
@@remyd3542 isn’t that a African American stereotype that doesn’t apply to other blacks in the diaspora
The UK is sick. Very sick. This will not cohere. You need to disregard these peoples feelings and then move to remove them from your country.
I presume you mean black people/ethnic people in general. How? Most of them are UK citizens, many of them were born and raised in the UK, some come from families who have been in the UK for 3 or more generations so don't have any connections to their ancestral homelands anymore.
Repatriation/expelling whole populations is just not politically or logistically feasible in the modern era. In any case, there aren't many people involved in ethnonationalism in the UK, and very few who are comptent/educated and aren't social outcasts, losers, nutcases or idiots.
If you only knew how bad things really are .
oh god, the cringe
@pxpq God alone can judge whether it was in fact "cringe." What you or I think is therefore ultimately irrelevant.
@@MS-19 What you or I think is therefore ultimately irrelevant, you can choose to believe in a magic guy in the sky...
@pxpq So apparently do you... ("Oh God, the cringe")
@@MS-19 That is an expression.
😍How beautiful! What a Lovely tribute to humanity🤗 ❤️☮️🇺🇸
We really have regressed as a nation haven't we?
@GOF313 Define 'regression' in the context of this particular act of worship.
I'm lost for words...
Very tonally inappropriate. For such a solemn occasion, this should have been left out. That weird swingy dancing has no place in such a ceremony.
Nailed it.
@colerobbins124 Is that what God thinks, or what you think? I'm asking because acts of worship are for God and not for you or me... presumably you knew that?
Lmao! 😂😂
Does this song have any actual words aside from "Alleluia" and "sing praises?"
Apparently not!
@@simonnicklin1313 😂😂
For God is the King of all the earth: sing praises with understanding.
Ooga booga ooga booga
Everyone looks disgusted apart from a few playing the game.
Absolutely, those standing around them looked disgusted, but then the Royal Family themselves appeared to like it.
They sure were handpicked.
Where the fried chickrn at doe
At your house. What time should we gather?
No
It's Was Rushfully Legendary 🌦🌦🐎🐎
Say some sh¡t
Jigging around as if they were in a happy-clappy church
Swaying you mean. Strange, and wrong use of the English language.
@@CleoAllen-t4c A jig is a dance, but it may have been better to say swaying.
Obvious, token pandering
Unfortunately, that's the impression. Kind of cringey and embarrassing. The coronation's diversity, equity, and inclusion moment! ;)
Quite obvious.
"Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise him in the cymbals and dances." (Psalm 150)
Ultimately an act of worship is not for the people but for God; nothing else matters.
Lame, stick to tradition
Screw your traditions
Yep...traditional = boring. I'm ready to yawn now.
@mitchmate368 Tradition was alive and kicking throughout the service (see Parry, Handel, Byrd, Walton, plainchant, robed choir etc.) which was an offering to God and not to you or me.
Traditions that are not refreshed will ossify and deserve to die.
Psalm 150 instructs the faithful to praise God in the dance and on all manner of instruments - "Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord."
This is not gospel. The group that sang at the Royal wedding in 2018 was. They might be a gospel choir but are not singing in a traditional gospel style.
Songs..of KJV 1611. Preserved.
The comments here are bizarre. The Anglican Gospel choir singing about heaping praise on god and the king is out of place , but you don’t hear anyone asking why there was a Greek Orthodox chant /Byzantine rite, which is even more out of place - especially given the fact that much of this process is about confirming the true Protestant faith etc. I wonder what the difference might be and what that tells us about certain people’s mindset…
They're trying to have a strong black presence to show that they are not racist....I never thought they were racist but since Meghan accused them now they have to defend themselves.
That’s just it; they _didn’t_ have to. Like so many fools today, they’re falling for the trap of “proving a negative.”
Weak and cringe. Like everything else today
Hmmmm...touche
@@davidpar2 sometimes you have to defend yourself.
No idiots. He got different parts of the commonwealth to participate. Hello.....
This is a fantastic gospel choir doing their utmost to make gospel music out of a piece that should have been sung by a more traditional choir. They looked uncomfortable and awkward singing this. They needed proper gospel music. Consequently this piece never took off. A lovely composition and an amazing choir which do not go together. It was if whoever organised the music just didn't want to take a risk and played it safe.
Imagine being one of the Hereditary Peers whose family have been loyal to the Monarchy for several centuries, not getting an invite to the Coronation, and instead having this take your place
@markbenjamin1703 The Coronation is an act of worship for God, and it was broadcast live, so it is disingenuous to imply that anyone was excluded.
Who is the woman with the blue hat at 1:48 ?
Nevermind, it's Eliza Lopes.
My wife
@@volhosis3784 just what I was wondering
Thank you for posting this moment of magic. I can now share it with my friends who were unable to see it at the time.
You can’t compare these things, as all cultural elements should be respected, but GOD that bit seemed odd after the hair- raising Byzantine chant.
I was like “why are they moving around?” Then next thing I was crying. Lovely performance. And it was nice to be able to understand what they were saying. Sometimes choirs get so “angelical” you can’t understand a word they’re saying.
Yes, it was very beautiful! Gospel singers/choirs dance ( moving around) because dancing is mention often in them bible (especially in the Old Testament) as a means of worship and praise to God.
It was a crying shame when they started to dance, as it totally detracted from the wonderful singing" and left lookers on puzzled? Like they were watching Sister Act with Whoopy Goldberg.
@intellect1st122 Psalm 150: "Praise him in the cymbals and *dances* ... Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord."
Worship is not offered to any 'onlookers' but to God, who alone is the audience and judge.
