More about the book
Handel composed four remarkable anthems for the coronation of King George II and Queen Caroline in 1727, showcasing his ceremonial style. Anthem No. 2, "The King Shall Rejoice," features a vibrant Allegro and a majestic setting of "Glory and great worship hast thou laid upon him," culminating in a lively fugal Alleluia. This piece, arranged for a four-part mixed chorus with organ or piano, has been a staple in British coronations since its premiere, reflecting the grandeur of the occasion and Handel's musical genius.
