Sunday Sounds 70 - Thine Be The Glory

Blogging has been light for various reasons lately but that may be over-compensated by a slew of posts today, so be (potentially) warned!

Anyway, for Easter Sunday, Handel provides the music to one of my favourite hymns (and, yes, an athiest is allowed to have favourite hymns!)

I was also quite taken by this instrumental version:

There could only be one Sunday Sound on the day my Sister gave me the best birthday present ever: a Nephew. Here is the London Symphony Orchestra with the Tenebrae Choir and "For Unto Us A Child Is Born" from Handel's Messiah:

Sunday Sounds 47: Jubilee Special

After yesterday's bit of mischief making, today's music choices are genuinely linked to the Jubilee as well as being pieces I love.

First up, Handel's Coronation Anthem, Zadok The Priest, which has been played at British Coronations since 1727. Turn it up loud - it's the only way to listen to it!

Elgar's Pomp and Circumstance March No.1 was one of the pieces played after the service:

Finally, the National Anthem with the Gordon Jacob fanfare used at the coronation itself...
