Choral music - a vital ingredient to the Coronation

Good luck to all the musicians taking part in this weekend's Coronation celebrations - such an integral part of all state occasions.

To see more details about the music and the liturgy for the service, see https://www.churchofengland.org/coronation/liturgy.

Westminster Abbey has released details of new words and music for Parry's famous Vivats, which will be sung at the service, so that they can be used elsewhere: https://www.westminster-abbey.org/abbey-news/abbey-releases-music-for-the-coronation-vivats.

If you want to hear the full concert before the service, Radio 3 is probably the best bet, or the livestream at https://youtu.be/nPpTPMfagMc

Details of the twelve new commissions are at https://www.royal.uk/coronation-music-commissions
