Anniversary, The Coronation of Their Majesties

by Ellena Taylor

coronation logoThe Coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla in 2023 was watched by millions around the world. It was not just a state event of immense historical significance, it was also a major musical landmark. Twelve contemporary composers were commissioned to write new works alongside traditional Coronation music. Combined with plainsong, gospel music and the Welsh, Gaelic and Irish languages, the Coronation was a solemn and majestic occasion of unprecedented musical richness.

Novello recently published a collection of all of the works performed in the Coronation service. You can purchase the collection below, as well as other works composed for the Coronation.
