- WITH LYRICS!
Coronation Anthem No. 1 by George Frideric Handel
Chapions League Theme Song
ARGUMENT:
Most versions have a rather fast Intro, but then have a slow second part. I don't like that, it should be the other way around. Here's the version I like.
LYRICS
Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet
anointed Solomon king.
And all the people rejoic'd, rejoiced and said:
God save the king! Long live the king!
May the king live for ever!
Amen! Amen! Alleluia!
Zadok der Priester und Nathan der seher
erhöh'ten Salomos Thron.
Und alles Volk rings frohlockt, frohlocket und rief:
Gott sei dein Schild, Heil sei mit dir!
Heil dem König auf ewig!
Amen! Amen! Alleluia! - เพลง
I don't listen to this very often, but when I do, so do my neighbours.
And they should! With deference. 😁
@Heretic No buddy. Far from original. Think I first cames across it with Buddy Holly's That'll Be The Day. No idea who first used it.
My neighbors do too!😂
I get it. I've had a few knocks on my door.
Only once, but the town entire!
Today I listened to the piece in the dentist chair while being fitted with a crown.
Sir, I salute you!
If the need ever comes for intensive dental treatment in the future, I will remember to listen to this piece. Thanks for your comment.

Brilliant man
Robert Howard A coronation of an altogether different kind...

No piece of music has a better intro than Zadok. Of all the things I sang as a chorister, none gave me more goose bumps.
Amen! Even the thought of singing it again gives anticipatory chills. I love this group of songs.
It reminds me of a Whippet stalking a Squirrel.... the slow pacing, the Triumphant RUSH, the Capture, then the release..
Handel is a legend
Me too in Royal Choral Society in the Albert Hall..just. sublime
This is a very crisp rendition of Zadok..quite like it...
I came here after witnessing King Charles III being anointed. I still have goosebumps. Once in a lifetime event.
Omg me too 😂
Same!
l first heard this at Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth's coronation, when l was just coming up to ten yeats old and have loved it ever since. l think the version from His Majesty King Charles lll's coronation is the best one of all the versions l have googled!
Same with me!
Empératrice....
Is it just me or does anybody else pretend like they're being crowned whenever "ZAAAAADOOOOOOOK THE PRIIIIIIIESSSSSST" hits?
Yeh i then start to sit up straight, have my face stoic, eyes cold and stiff posture. Imagined holding scepters and watch the world bow before me. Im the ruler.. for a few seconds. Atleast in my own imagination.
You're not the only one. I love this part!
@@pieckfinger7169 I imagine it that way!
Absolutely this makes me closer to heaven and it’s very Christmasy
Yea. Absolutely. :=) it so to say majesizes your life’s work. (The grammar is wrong but you get the point. It gives your calling a truly majestic touch)
If this doesn't give you goose bumps...then your goose is dead!
Paul McRae And the soul will be dead
Yes very true.
It gives me goose but no the bumps 😔
When I visited Buckingham Palace, walking up the ceremonial staircase, the music playing in the audio device around my neck was Zadok the Priest. I still get goosebumps remembering that. May 6th I am sure I will have them again!
@MarthaE what an amazing experience
The first part of this piece is truly astonishing. The arpeggio builds beautifully, changing to a lovely minor key before the sun-bursting release of choir and trumpets. It's completely regal and divine as intended, and leaves the listener stunned... Then the rest of the piece plonks along with less than a tenth the majesty of the first 2 minutes. It's as if Handel didn't know what to do afterwards.
.........21.12
This must be some kind of joke?
All the people rejoiced except Cromwell!
traveller r/whooosh
@roskruge.j.a And you never attended your humour classes!
. P
hmmm...excepting the fact that Cromwell died some 70 years or more before this was composed...but hey...
Charles was Catholic
"Yo bro, wait for the drop!". I can guarantee you a phrase with a very similar meaning was uttered upon the second playing of this song.
I'm nicking this one
+DJjakedrake Yep, I think Handel invented 'the drop' : )
Karen Kable I absolutely loved this
Yet they could see the 100s strong choir, and ask themselves : are they here just for the show?
Eh?
Handel was / is an absolute genius and this wonderful choir and orchestra really do him justice. Such clarity - the Alleluias and Amen’s are a joy.
What an outstanding performance. Thanks and blessings, Michael 🦋
Was* was the correct term. Is still implies he is alive
Too bad all that glorious celebration is spent on a King who has no power to change the leadership of his land, leadership that leads to ruin. People who deserve celebration, like Jeremy Corbin, are relegated to obscurity. The countries of the West have insanely greedy, destructive leaders and media.
@@notgadot I don't want to be the one that brings you the bad news
I get chills down my spine every time I listen to this piece. I listen to it every time before I have something important planned like an Interview! its very empowering!
Handel wrote this beautiful piece for the one true king, jesus christ..
Tom Barry Handel actually wrote I’m in tribute to the Crown of Britain lollll
@@quintp.3413 only such a piece could be justified for our lord jesus christ. Our one true king.
Not ours.. maybe yours but not ours sis lmao
No! this anthem was made in relation to a real story about crowning conflict inside the british royal family in the past, and it has nothing to do with jesus and the king solomon!
🙏🏻✝️Thank you for this✝️🙏🏻
🙏🏻One of the best composers and pieces of music ever and as a Catholic I also admire and love the beautiful imagery of Our Lord Jesus, God Our Father and Our Mother Mary.
Nothing compares to this masterpiece blessings from Wales, UK🙏🏻 x
Sublime..
We're going to hear a live version soon.
6. Mai 2023
Notice that the images are mostly of Christ the King. Do the math about Charles
May 6th 2023
Cool
I’m so excited!!!
Fun Fact: Champions League anthem was inspired by this score.
bro is this song but the instrumental version
and different test
I can see that to be fair, always thought they sounded similar in some aspects
that particular King already has, and will live forever.
This is the anthem of the heaven.
+CrazyThumb This is the anthem of the Champions League also :-)
+Raphael S Carvalho No, it isn't. The Chapions League theme bears some similarities, but is definitely not the same.
@@Timrath it is
Who even can write something like this what genius....xxxx
God this song is so beautiful it makes you want to fall on your kneees🙏🙏. I love singing this.
It’s not a ‘song’, it’s quite clearly a coronation anthem.
@@elaineblackhurst1509An anthem is a type of song
@@JWashington754
It clearly is not, unless you redefine ‘song’ to mean something it does not.
Johnny Cash wrote and sang songs, as did the Beatles; Handel’s four pieces for the coronation of George II are anthems.
@@elaineblackhurst1509 Yes, an anthem is a type of song, often associated with a particular group, cause, or nation. It typically carries a significant and patriotic or ceremonial meaning.
@@JWashington754
As my previous response.
Händel was a real genius!
Handel was pretty much unbeatable at this sort of ceremonial music.
Is, not was…
*YES!!!* This is the way Handel wanted it, if you observe his notations! Excellent choice! This is also the way my church choir did it, just not as big!!!
🇬🇧✴️🇬🇧✴️🇬🇧
Non. Vive la Gaulle.
Down with la gaulle
This should be played in churches across the world on the feast of Christ the King. 👑
No it shouldn’t - it was quite clearly written for the coronation of British monarchs.
I love Handel. Knew it from the coronation of HM Queen so impressive and, may i say, devinely inspired i feel. That made it so touching.
I hardly remember queen elisabeth's coronation. We had no TV and ghe only news came through the radio.i had not started primary school yeti but hearing about her becoming queen was so fascinating.i'm so excited i could watch her son'coronation. Greetings from italy
Music transcends time! After centuries of its composition millions of people could watch the music being performed for the purpose for which it was composed! Great and lucky to witness it. " History repeats itself". Never, for each time there will be some changes/differences.
Handel's own composition without the aid of a librettist even if the Bishops in the church wanted to craft the words and let Handel write the music. He knew how to put it together splendidly.
Played this at my daughters graduation uni curtain went up put shivers down my spine 😢
Truly a masterpiece
This Zadok is very well done. Differentiation of tempos enhances its musical expression. Crisp, clear and extremely articulate diction without sacrificing tonality or musical integrity. It's not Pimlico, people.
save the turkz for thanksgiving in america jajaja
This is extraordinarily beautiful amazing incredible piece of music,I needed to listen to the lyrics,Handel made a masterpiece.
I love it.
That's a beautiful rendition, but my favorite will always be the Acadamy of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields with Sir Neville Marriner conducting...everything they ever did was absolutely first-rate and basically unbeatable.
God save the king
But not old Charlie boy.
Long live the king!
The overwhelming powerful chorus and performance show a blessing and glory of God .
It's actually scary to think that the famed champions league is based off a 387 rear old song. It is one of the best pieces of music of all time, and is still as fresh as eer. Pure music at its best.
A propaganda piece, but a GREAT propaganda piece! have Iistened to this and the other 3 coronation anthems over and over again for several years.
T Green In my opinion footballers are mentally retarded. But maybe I'm unfair?
I agree most are idiots, but there are a few exceptions. A very select few, but they are there. The rest can go and be overpaid retarded crybabies, it's usually what they are best at.
@@bigowl9408 👍
387 "rear" old song 😂
This is my favorite song❤
This anthem, was so amazing, Praise God, Amenn🙏🙏
Outstanding performance of this anthem!
Just heard on classical radio this song is used for any British crowning ceremony.
This IS the best one I’ve heard so far bravo 👏
Having sang this in choir 13 or so years ago, I agree with your statement that the intro should be slow and the main part quicker! This is close to how we sang it! Simply epic piece of music. I love the pictures. I feel the intro is putting us in a place in history, evoking old times. Your chosen pictures match the music exactly. The intro is setting the scene and getting us ready to celebrate the new King. It was great to see and hear it in its proper context at King Charles' coronation.
Type and shadow of the baptism of the Lord Jesus Christ, our great High Priest and King. And yes, this is the best version of Zadok the Priest!
This is played at the coronations of the British monarchs. Never had known the words till now, though.
So Beautiful beyond words.
Think of king Solomon
And what a wonderful day it was in Jewish history
Imagine how Jerusalem that day
Imagine the joyful kingdom
Imagine the people who happy
Imagine the Temple
Imagine the lights, the candles, the sines
Imagine how it was at the holy of holiness
AMEN Brother...AMEN !!!!
Was he real?????
@@michellepeoplelikeyoumurde8373ancient coins were discovered in Jerusalem bearing the name and symbols of Solomons descendant Hezekiah so yes he was real.
A GLORIOUS account of this WONDERFUL PIECE. WHO ON EARTH IS CONDUCTING.....I can understand EVERY WORD and the CLARITY, if you will, in the voices, is most STRIKING.THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PUTTING THIS UP!!
this is not only the best version ever
THIS IS THE MOST EPIC VERSION I EVER HEARD
you're right!
strong competition incoming: live performance in may 2023 :)
Pardon? Never.
Live forever, mighty mighty Handel! This one just about knocks you right out of your chair (throne?) .
I've sung Handel but never this magnificent piece. Those diminished notes in the intro!
Even atheists can love this. I can attest to that.
well, we can hope it will help you in a spiritual elevation;)
Beautiful and inspiring
Me too. I'm an atheist, but I'm first and foremost a patriot. This music represents a history and tradition that has lasted for more than a thousand years- can't understand those who wouldn't be affected at least a little bit by it.
Got to love choral pieces
pix046 I am. Brit who has lived in the USA for 47 years, raised an Anglican and still have soft spot for the good old C of E but I am a dedicated atheist.
I live in Central Tennessee, a lovely very wealthy place with more churches than people.
The average Jesus FREAK here is to dumb to have ever heard of this GLORIOUS ENGLISH ORATORIO.
When I tell them about it, they are confused because it is not some god awful C and W CRAP.
Actually there are some real music lovers here, the Nashville Symphony and their chorus are MAGNIFICENT.
I have been lucky as I lived in Chicago for 33 years and the are very few things in this world that can compete with the MIGHTY CSO.
This is a fabulous performance, I jumped to my feet and conducted the entire work.
My beautiful11 year old granddaughter loves the music as well but she runs off to her grandmother saying " Granddad is waving his arms about again".
I am used to a slightly faster opening but this is gloriously performed…dotted rhythms well executed!
Love this version! Definitely fit for a Monarch!
Yawn.
i love the slowness , its kinda in balance and harmony with nature and our human emotions . it is to the ear what architecture and art is too the eyes. divine
Stunning .--- As indeed all Handel's works .
For those acking questions, see Wikipedia entry below:
Although part of the traditional content of British coronations, the texts for all four anthems were picked by Handel-a personal selection from the most accessible account of an earlier coronation-for that of James II of England in 1685.[1] The text is derived from the biblical account of the anointing of Solomon. These words have been used in every English, and later British, coronation since that of King Edgar at Bath Abbey in 973.
actually it's perfect. I can hear every line, every voice of the anthem. great, thank you!
I dont think anyone expected the current queen to take the live forever part so seriously
Edit: I´m sure this comment will always age well
Well then...
@@wiremucurtis3891 yes, well
She gonw
im sure the eternal life; is in the biblical sense. John 3:16. 3:36, etc
The Queen did take her Role very seriously.
Her reprobate relatives...Sheesh.
Fantastic version! Great tempo's, makes all the difference!
Absolutely outstanding!!!! Thank you for posting this version!
Thank you!
I love thr works of Handel - the Word set to music. At the same time, I also like Green Day! Many thank-yous for the posting! marc b.
The champions!!
I think Gardener’s interpretations really reveal something special and this is no exception.
Just wonderful!
GOD save the Queen
Magnificent, Handel was a master composer. Like others, when l hear the introduction, l am spellbound. Not possible to listen to it once but again and again and .....
Listened to Zadok as the King was being anointed. How much better can you get for this sort of thing?
Vivat! Vivat! Vivat!
Excellent version of this. Bravo Sir! Completely in agreement with your thoughts on about timing. The best.
The anthem of the Lion of Judah. The Lamb that was slain. Who lives forevermore. Amen.
Georg Friedrich Händel!!!!
💕Absolutely beautiful 💕
❤GOD SAVE THE KING
LONG LIVE THE KING❤
💖💓💖💓
This is so good ! Love me some Handel.😊
Wonderful. I love singing this. The choice of religious paintings too really adds to the atmosphere. Long live King Charles III. Vivat Rex.
Absolutely amazing gives me goosebumps ❤️
There is nobility and certainty of confidence in this piece. One imagines oneself marching with solemnity and grace in ceremony. It is human to so fantasize, so do so. Fantasize you are being crowned a great glory of the Earth.

This song is just so anointed.. 🙏🏽
A stroke of pure genius.
A great piece of music.I thoroughly enjoyed this version.
British Coronation anthem! GOD bless
The is but ONE Righteous KING!
Esteem HIM FOREVER!
HalleluYAH!!
Emozione unica, pensare che lo canteremo tra pochi giorni a Budapest, con un coro europeo formato per l' occasione con elementi che mai prima avevano cantato insieme. Prodigi della musica.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
¡¡¡BRAVO!!! !!!BRAVO!!! ¡¡¡BRAVO!!!
Greetings from Buenos Aires Argentina.
Greetings from Brisbane Australia amigo !!!!
Uma das maiores obras da música clássica, digna de um evento de tamanha magnitude como este!
one of the best classical works ever handals telling the stroy of zadok the priest
The genius of this piece of music is its utter simplicity (almost as if a child had written it), a beautiful build up leading us to the very dramatic intro on the D. Sparse libretto and the obscure biblical text that had allegorical overtones.Wonderful!
So beautiful wonderful amazing and sublime thanks for sharing God bless you us from Honduras 🇭🇳😀😀😀🤝🎶🎼🎼🎶🎻🎻💐❤💐
Jesus Christ is the King of kings
Amen
This will be the song I'll be wed to.
I will play this at my coronation
Here after the death of Queen Elizabeth. God save the King.
Handel wrote this when he was living in England, and was a full British citizen.
Händel ist und bleibt Deutscher !
@@kolbenhirsch Handel war, und ist, einer Mensch der Welt.
Handel was and is beloved by the British people. He was also a genius so we were all glad to have him! ❣
Except that Handel was not English.
@@e.conboy4286
By the Naturalisation Act of 1727, Handel became a British subject; though born a German, his music is actually very Italian influenced (though increasingly tweaked to English tastes), especially when compared to ‘proper’ German composers like JS Bach and Telemann.
In short, he was avant la lettre a sort of EU citizen.
C’est une piece magnifique, Il me fait trembler chaque fois!!! Simplement Incroyable!
Slow and lacks brass.
I have no religious 'beliefs' whatsoever.
Some years ago, towards the end of 20-odd years service in the Armed Forces, I attended a service in one of our cathedrals.
The choir was augmented by some 200 or so men and women, a 50-piece orchestra to boost the organ, and a large contingent of military brass and drums.
The intro had been carefully layered to sound very imposing.
The opening words rang out, and I broke into goosebumps, shivers, and tears.
Astonishing!!!
Such a piece of art diminished by a sports team!!!
Pure class 💯🙌
It’s so quiet...then BOOM!!!
Fantastic!❤🎶❤🎶❤ Thank you 👍...Thank You Lord ✝️ for the Tingles ✝️ all the way through 🙏❤✝️
Thanks for finding this. You are right about the tempi.
This video shows the real King and Queen being crowned.
Hehe, that was my intention. ;)
Gspijkenisse :)
No these are fake kings, the real ones are crowned in Westminster Abbey and look nothing like these imposters.
+Keith Grove I don't think Solomon was crowned in Westminster Abbey.
Science-is-god lol your name is lame.
I really like this version!
Long live the King!!!🇬🇧
Remember shepherds anoint their sheep with oil for healing. Men anoint the “sheep” for service. We anoint people to set them apart to rule. From humble service to humble service, we anoint with oil.
