Alto1 Handel Zadok The Priest Score

Alto1 Choir Part Practice: "Zadok The Priest" (HWV 258) was composed by George Frideric Handel in 1727. The text is from Kings 1:38--40 "Zadok the Priest, and Nathan the Prophet anointed Solomon King." Zadok was a priest descended from Eleazar the son of Aaron. He was instrumental in bringing King Solomon to the throne. Nathan the prophet lived in the time of King David and it was Nathan who convinces the dying David of proclaiming Solomon as King . "Zadok The Priest" is one of the four Coronation Anthems that Handel composed.

Zadok the Priest, and Nathan the Prophet anointed Solomon King.
And all the people rejoic'd, and said:
God save the King! Long live the King!
May the King live for ever,
Amen, Allelujah.
