About this deal

Royal Harpist, Alis Huws, performed as part of the Coronation Orchestra in celebration of the King’s long-standing relationship with Wales. As part of the show, ten locations around the UK including Blackpool, Sheffield, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Newcastle and Gateshead, Cornwall and Belfast will be lit up in a live sequence as part of Lighting Up The Nation. A separate studio recording of Lord Lloyd-Webber's coronation anthem will also be released on May 6, as well as the live recording from the ceremony itself.

Coronation Service Music From The Official Recording Of The Coronation Service

Simply titled The Official Album of the Coronation, it will include both music and spoken words from the ceremony, which will take place on May 6. She said: “This will be a truly historic recording, capturing a glorious range of music from across centuries and continents, reflecting the world-wide interest in our traditions, covering multiple locations in the wonderful acoustic of Westminster Abbey, and involving an unprecedented technical plan to present the entire experience to the world on the day itself.The six orchestral commissions, five choral commissions and one organ commission have been written by world-renowned British composers. London's Metropolitan Police has confirmed that it arrested 52 people today as the Coronation took place in the city. The final mix is not one that a listener to Radio 3’s Choral Evensong might recognise, for the laudable aim has been to reach for clarity in all things, paring back the reverberation of the Abbey in favour of a close-up sound picture, with the transitions between speech and music edited to a fine point. A huge live band and orchestra , a choir , military drummers, the backdrop of Windsor Castle and the celebration of a new King .
