- Zadok the Priest, HWV 258, is a coronation anthem composed by George Frideric Handel using texts from the King James Bible. It is one of the four Coronation Anthems that Handel composed for the coronation of George II of Great Britain in 1727, and has been sung at every subsequent British coronation service. It is traditionally performed during the sovereign's anointing.
On this occasion it is sung by the choir of Westminster Abbey and the choristers of the Chapel Royal at the Royal Maundy Service at Westminster, in 2011.

It’s so wonderful to hear this stirring anthem performed in the place for which it was composed nearly 300 years ago!
I hope to one day see a monarch coronated during this song being played, how immense
You’ll never see the anointing of a monarch it is the most sacred moment of a coronation and will never be shown
@@christinephillips2069 this is highly inaccurate. It is highly likely Prince Charles' coronation will be televised. Queen Elizabeth's coronation was televised.
The coronation was televised however the anointing was not - as Christine says
Long live King Charles III
Tic tac
The organ accompaniment is beautiful - I like it much better than the orchestral versions I have heard. The narrator said "So, lets enjoy it". I would have enjoyed it more without his talking over the beginning. Then he does the same to the following organ interlude.
Branchporter those ppl piss me off
@TheRenaissanceman65 ...heb dit nodig in mijn leven.
@TheRenaissanceman65 you've never heard Italian news commentators...
@TheRenaissanceman65 lol, I meant that Italian news narrators are worse than British ones when it comes to important broadcasts, trust me. They spoke over the whole broadcast of Meghan and Harry wedding, for example, about stupid things...oof!
@TheRenaissanceman65 especially during the news broadcast...
Most beautiful process. Enjoying the delight and happiness of the recipients. Long live life Queen.
This anthem is marvellous, superb. It is one of the four coronations anthems for king George II.

Haendel at his best with best of choirs in the UK.
King's College Cambridge and St Paul's Cathedral may disagree with you, together with several others. There is no best choir in England. And it's not the UK, it's England. And the correct spelling is Handel.
@@ds1868 Thank you. I've visited Saint Paul's and Kings, I've even worshipped in those hallowed spaces. I know that I've seen "Handel" spelled as "Haendel". Could not the latter spelling be a German spelling? Please, apprise me. Were you to have visited New York's Saint John's Cathedral, you could say "US" as well. Am I to understand that the Britons don't like the reference "UK"?
@@hudsonbailey674
Handel dropped the German umlaut and pronunciation of his name when he moved to England from Italy, having spent several years there after he left Germany as a very young man; he spent most of his life in England.
Handel spelled his name in the English fashion as you can see on every single extant signature on his manuscripts, letters and his will, and the case is exactly the same as the ‘French’ composer Lully who abandoned Lulli and all his Italian background after he moved to Paris.
Its odd how some people seem to still use the German form of Handel, but never the Italian form of Lully.
UK’s fine today, but you need to be careful about backdating it as there are was the Union of the crowns of Scotland and England in 1603, various Acts of Union particularly in 1707 and 1801, changes of name, and the secession of part of Ireland in 1922.
(Some people can be a bit touchy though about how they define themselves, though probably not more or less so than can be found in most other countries).
@@elaineblackhurst1509 sincerely, thank you for the clarification. Why was it suggested to me that I not respectfully refer to "England" as the "UK". Really, I regard such corresponds as essential to my morning coffee klatches. Take good care, hope to hear from you.
Wonderful in every aspect, every respect. I understand that the organist is Robert Quinney and that the organ piece that follows Zadok the Priest is an improvisation. It is a GLORIOUS piece of music. Has it been recorded? Shouldn't it be given a name and enter the repertoire?
SPENDIDE ESECUZONI BRAVISSIMI !!
I'm only listening to this because Hugh Edwards is hosting.Merry Christmas, big man.x
The core of western civilation.
This theme is what the Champions League anthem is based on!
God save the King, Long live the King
👍👍👍👍👍
I’ve seen these Maundy Thursday services in the past, but it just occurs to me that Zadok the Priest contains the word “Alleluia” many times, yet that isn’t a word used, liturgically, from Ash Wednesday until the Easter Vigil. Interesting that it’s used here.
Uma maravilha, realmente! Alguém saberia dizer qual foi a cerimônia desse vídeo? Sei somente que foi em 2011.
It is the Royal Maundy Service, held on Maundy Thursday, where the Sovereign hands out small silver coins (the “Maundy” money) to the elderly.
Long live Queen Elizabeth II
When she became the Queen in 1952 I myself (being a German) was 13yo. Of course I can remember that I could watch her coronation in tv...:)
Does anybody know what's being played between 5:21-7:46 after Zadok the Priest?
It's an improvisation
What is the name of the piece following Zadok the Priest?
bonito
King William
Someone tell Huw Edwards to shut up when the music starts.
He gets paid for speaking on top of the music.
All I did was email the BBC for the audio without his voice and they sent it to me. Nice clean copy now
TheAscensionist11 upload it please
Or sent it to my email please😀
@@TheAscensionist11 Friend, sent it to my email please, thank you, God bless you :)
Do you have more of this magnificent ceremony? Please upload it. Thank you
Ojalá para la coronación de Carlos III recuperen el Zadok the Priest de Händel para ver a la peña flipándose con el himno de la Champions League...
Ever since Queen Elizabeth died, the decided to sing Zadok the Priest by George Fredric Handel.
Erunestian, How long does the anointing take, and what parts of the bodies are anointed during a coronation?
I believe its just the head.
John Clinton head, hands, and the breast.
John Clinton it depends for a male I would presume loins for fertility, Church of England took many pagan Catholic
Practices.
00:10 - 00:45 The journalist schuold have stopped talking, and continued AFTER the coronation athem!
Greetings, all! We have learned that Robert Quinney was the organist for this occasion. One quick question: What is the name of the Maestro directing the singers? Thanks in advance for anyone who can supply this information...
His name is James O'Donnell. (Interestingly he is a Roman Catholic in his private life.
He is the Director of Music and also a fabulous organist.

Quite a few comments ask "how much does the monarchy cost the tax payer"? I believe it's approximately 56 pence each person per year. Which is less than a packet of children's sweets. Good value for money is it not?
Thanks for the upload. Beautiful organ arrangement. Who is playing the organ ?
Dag Willem, volgens mij moet dat de Sub-Organist van de Abbey, Daniel Cook zijn.
Prachtig arr. van Z. the Priest van G.F. Handel, is dit arr. te verkrijgen ? Dank voor het uitzoeken.
Mark de Jong
***** This was recorded in 2011 but Daniel Cook didn't return to the Abbey as Sub-Organist until 2013. The organist was probably Robert Quinney or, possibly, James McVinnie.
***** the sub-organist here was Robert Quinney :) The new sub-organist, Daniel Cook is at the Abbey since 2013
OK thanks, great performance.
We need to know the title of the organ postlude after ZTP..if it is a stand-alone piece, so be it, but if is a part of a larger work, i wonder if there is a performance of it...
An improvisation it is
@@robertonumah7238 That score should be dedicated to sheet music..a wonderful postlude..
Am I hearing right and they are saying King instead of Queen? Is that always the case for Zadok the Priest? I thought they interchanged it like they do with the anthem depending if the monarch is male or female.
The Fonz The king that they are referring to is Solomon so it is always "king."
Ok, I got you. Thanks!
The Fonz if I remember correctly the royals consider themselves descended of Israels kings? Am I correct In that assumption?
@@Philip02K well.. not really
Erni Landia then they have never had a claim to Jerusalem unless of course your from Roman Catholic Church after all.
The Champions League anthem is based on this!
Who's that guy at 02:00?
Cute isn't he?

They sang Zadok the Priest in honour of King Charles III after the death of Elizabeth II.
Why are some of the choirboys dressed like miniature Beefeaters?
They are young singers from the Chapel Royal. The dress is their usual dress for state occasions.

Nathen is a British prophet?
Nathan The Prophet from the Old Testament

you have bullfights, we have heavenly handel music at glorious westminster with the magnificent and much loved head of state of the uk, australia, canada and new zealand presiding, that is the way it is
And in a few days King Charles III shall be crowned, God willing
It’s Queen Elizabeth II’s birthday.
Someone really needs to stop people narrating during these services. Always ruins it!
Of course, someone with more resources than the producer of it. It is not so difficult, it is only the BBC.
Charles Darwin should be shown the door
Charles Darwin in the Cathedral ...what ?
Although Darwin wasn't Christian, it is false to say he was an atheist. He certainly was a theist, varying from deism and other sorts. He was also a member of the Royal Society, so he appeared to be pretty loyal to the RF. So, it really isn't that surprising.
Shut that man up!!!!!!🤬😡
Why are the choirs. in this day and age, still all male?
I think it's because it's the choir of the abbey..so it's religious and so there's no women
Tradition. It is the Abbey. A Royal "peculiar" meaning it is outside the Diocese and within the control of the Monarch, not the Bishop of London. The boys attend a boarding school on the Abbey grounds. Do you grouse about the Sistine Chapel choir of boys and men at the Basilica of St. Peter in Rome?
@@jackmorrison7379 No, because I never knew about them. What's with your attitude about that?
Come out you black and tans
and the english people financially support all the monarchy system? l´d like to understand what for? why?
never mind darling, you wouldn´t understand it ever
The monarchy actually generates a significant amount of money for the British economy, far more than it costs the taxpayer to maintain it.
Because we have something great that no other country has!!!
The British, not just the English people, contribute something like 80p a year towards the monarchy. However, look at the tourism it brings, and the thousands of jobs it creates, and the income.
Nobody expects you to accept that the different countries in the world (especially those with origins way more ancient compared to yours) do have completely different cultures compared to the country in wich you live.
Americans sure are self centered.
May you pardon me for my poor english, uk friends, i' m your italian neighboor.
