totally agree - there is something about about the subtle harmonic progressions in this Handel composition which is deeply universally energizing - crossing borders and cultures - the demand for accuracy here is very high and these performers absolutely meet that demand .
To the People of Ghana, my deepest respect to yr Country and yr People on the magnificence of this display of singing and music, the Performance is superb: All my respect !! This is too beautiful!!
Music is wonderful gift from heaven. It's like the sun that The Great Creator let shine on every part of the world without distinction of race and color! Let Everything that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord! Psalm 150:6 Amen.
Well! THAT'S how you get a thousand voices in such a small space!!! I thought the best version I'd ever heard was the coronation... until I heard this!!! Please get over to Britain soon, doesn't matter where I'll buy a ticket and come see you!!! I have no words...!!! Thank you
The keyboard players do a solid job. And then that choir comes in and just blows your mind! I’ve been singing in choirs my whole life (in South Africa) and there’s nothing like an African soprano to bring the goods when needed. And of course Ghanaians are just fantastic so this is the perfect video 😄👍🥂 I was smiling from beginning to end!
I think Handel would be absolutely delighted by this exemplary performance of his work. Well done! As an American, the coronation isn't of particular importance to me, but this is glorious music and should be performed frequently.
May the King of Kings who is our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, reign in our lives, through our thoughts, words and by our actions❤🙏🏾. This choir along with the musicians were amazing🙏🏾
Amazing voices, Matured accompanists on the piano, by ear only one would think it is a full orchestra performing, All details of the song well captured from beginning till end. Excellent rendition Brothers and sisters ... Love from Nigeria ❤❤
Absolutely exquisite! The best version I’ve ever heard. It’s as if the Holy Spirit endowed them with angelic voices and they were singing to God Hinself!
I know right? Utterly blown away by the quality of the voices. I’ve sang this piece before with a choir I considered to be top quality and we had nothing on these performers. That first note was soooo worth the wait of the long introduction.
@@kevinbush4300 I have being singing in choirs be it in North America.the caribbean.europe and Australia. And this is by far the best I have witnessed. This is the standard.then everything comes after. . Truly African and suburb
What makes this rendition particularly powerful is that you can really hear the words being sung. A credit to your country and to this song! Thank you. 🙏
Very beautiful and inspiring. I am a professional opera singer and I know the amazing effort you all have put into this performance to make it a musical delight.
Im absolutely amazed at how they make so few people sound like many, many, more. If you close your eyes it sounds like there's a an entire orchestra, and a full choir behind them.
All praise for the talent and discipline it took to achieve this performance. It takes nothing away from that to add that they have a cultural advantage: the vigorously and clearly articulated English that comes out of West African speakers. Had he been alive to hear this, Handel would have been over the moon.
I agree with Sylvester Oboira in that this has to be a standout rendition of this magnificent work. I am particularly awed by how clean the melismas were. To do that was not an easy task. Kudos to everyone involved !
@@simonlazarus5681 disagree partially, the small choir made a great quality sound, the less musicians was very well to hear, but since they choir was so perfect, the music didn't matter that much anymore. that said it is a miracle how they managed it all. and I would deinfately love to see and hear the choir live some day
I heard Zadok The Priest sang at today's Coronation and I said why wasn't Harmonious Chorale invited to sing it. God bless you for blessing us with your beautiful singing.
I wonder if Handel ever imagined that his music would be performed in the middle of Africa without an organ is sight! So powerful. Beautifully done. Congratulations. Thank you from South Africa.
WHAT A PERFECT PERFORMANCE the tenors run is so difficult but was rendered with such aplomb all voices in the runs were outstanding this is the first time I have heard the choir and what a wonderful introduction the trumpets all instruments were just beautiful to listen to. Thank you angel voices ❤
Bravo HCG! Fabulous achievement! It would be bad of me to single out specifics but that won't stop me... 1. The radiant joy on the faces of the Sopranos and Altos 2. The precision and articulation of the Tenors and Basses particularly in the semi-quaver runs. 3. The super tone and accuracy of the trumpeters. 4. The overall sense of drama and engagement 5. The strong enthusiasm and clarity transmitted to the entire ensemble by the conductor. Lots more I could say but I've already said too much so I'll stop. THANK YOU SO MUCH & HUGE CONGRATULATIONS GOD BLESS GHANA🇬🇭 GOD BLESS THE COMMONWEALTH GOD SAVE THE KING🇬🇧
😳Wow, just exquisite! So much musical talent must exist around the world but we don't hear about it until an event like the Coronation brings it to our attention. Thank you from 🇨🇦!
This was simply fantastic! It goes to show that God’s music goes beyond race. Whoever is with God will be blessed with the joy and beauty of real music.
I haven't heard powerful crisp precise choral work like that in decades,. The crispness and precision first caught my attention with the coral opening at 1;43, again at 3:30s and at each Amen chorus that followed, this is an extraordinarily high standard. well done everybody,. greetings from Australia / John
Wow! Wow!! Wow!!! Accompaniments, Diction, Articulation, Harmony. I accompanied singing of Zadok the Priest on the Organ for the first time in November 1997. This one blows me away. ❤❤❤
Such a joy! Such excellence in singing, playing, trumpeting, conducting. Such perfect diction. Such choral discipline. God, Handel, King Charles III will all join in celebratory cheers. ❤
Well the Loony Left may be trashing our wonderful culture and trying to exterminate it, but the Africans, Chinese, Japanese and South Koreans are discovering its greatness and saving it from Western Vandals. 'On ya Ghana!!! This is truly an excellent performance.
I"m so delighted about all of these talented singers from this small African country to sing one of my favorite classic song. Wonderful singers with their instruments/trumpets, etc and the way they did it; bravo to all of them.
I saw/heard this choir at a concert last year [broadcast on UA-cam] and they were fabulous. So glad I have been able to listen to them again, truly a great choir and proof that numbers aren't everything. The keyboard players are possibly even more talented than the singers in that they have the hardest job of all managing to sound like a full orchestra. So glad I found this recording.
WOW!!!! And I am a retired former cathedral choirmaster and organist and professional string performer and teacher. YOU GUYS ARE GREAT! FIRST RATE AND AWESOME!!!!!!
Harmonious chorale! Harmonious chorale! Harmonious chorale! How many times did i call you ❤️.. I mean what should we do you ? Whaaaat... the best version ever on UA-cam 😍 👌
Amazing A Powerful performance of a much loved anthem. HCG are my favourite choir on UA-cam. I hope King Charles III gets the opportunity to watch and listen.
I must say l love these performances of Handels masterpieces by this group of muscians and singers from Ghana The choirs sound was MAGNIFICENT many thanks
The lyrics are: ZADOKKK THE PRIEST! and Nathan the prophet, Anointed Solomon King, And all the people rejoiced Rejoiced And all the people rejoiced Rejoiced Rejoiced Rejoiced Rejoiced Rejoiced And all the people Rejoiced Rejoiced Rejoiced and said..... GOD SAVE THE KING LONG LIVE THE KING GOD SAVE THE KING May he live forever Aleuya Aleuya Amen........

Handel could never have dreamed that his music would be so beautifully performed in Ghana. Gorgeous, thank you for such a rousing performance.
Acho que ele sonhou ❤Pois de todas as versões essa é uma das melhores!
Not at all

God Bless the people of Ghana. Much love from the UK.
I do hope you have sent a copy to the King. I expect his office will get it to his desk... this is special.
To the People of Ghana, my deepest respect to yr Country and yr People on the magnificence of this display of singing and music, the Performance is superb:
All my respect !! This is too beautiful!!
and, by the way, I don't think there ever was less need for subtitles. Your diction is second to none.
Agreed. But I guess it's just formality.
I love subtitles.
Actually. All the renditions I've seen had their words muffled in way or the other...
Music is wonderful gift from heaven. It's like the sun that The Great Creator let shine on every part of the world without distinction of race and color!
Let Everything that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord!
Psalm 150:6 Amen.

Great !!!
Please come!!!
It’s fake
I'm so proud of my African family. Wow when the choir comes in the heavens open.
That was a real Sharp Intake of Breath moment!
Handel will be proud, how you mastered his masterpiece song.
Wow, Greetings from Canada. Thank you for a wonderful performance of this great work by Handel. Very well sung and played, Keep up the good work.
Another proud Ghana moment. Seeing all the comments about this being the best version of Zadok the priest” they’ve heard is just beyond amazing!
Kukuroko! Ho twa! Ɔsoro de! Thank you from New Zealand.
Wow! You guys should have been invited to perform at the coronation ❤
INDEED! An opportunity missed!! I'm calling the palace now!!
Agreed. More Commonwealth input would have added that something extra special
no
@@1066pastor it was about tradition, not about race baited BS to calm down the SJW. neither about being extra or special. get a grip
No they too good for that palace mess
What a fantastic rendition...brought tears to my eyes!
You should have been invited to the King Charles' coronation. Beautiful rendition. Thumbs up 👍 👌

@@hoolydooly5072Why is it a problem?
Christian Ghana. You are a gift to the church
Australia says God bless Ghana. and kindest regards to our friends in Africa
I think Handel would be absolutely delighted by this exemplary performance of his work. Well done! As an American, the coronation isn't of particular importance to me, but this is glorious music and should be performed frequently.
1727 was a long, long time ago. I’m sure that GF Handel would have marveled at these musicians of Ghana nearly 300 years later!
I wholeheartedly agree.
As you are an American, no one else gives a poop what you think.
Go boil s burger
They should perform it for their king, the Asantehene of the Ashanti Kingdom.
Simply brilliant. A wonderful discovery on You tube.
May the King of Kings who is our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, reign in our lives, through our thoughts, words and by our actions❤🙏🏾. This choir along with the musicians were amazing🙏🏾
This was amazing! You brought together the best of two cultures and nailed it! Amen and God bless!
Amazing voices, Matured accompanists on the piano, by ear only one would think it is a full orchestra performing, All details of the song well captured from beginning till end. Excellent rendition Brothers and sisters ... Love from Nigeria ❤❤
❤🇮🇹🙏🏻
usually electronic keyboards sound horrible when playing organ and violin sounds, but they sounded very good here
Vocals are flawless..
The musicians are truly pros.
Great rendition
Absolutely exquisite! The best version I’ve ever heard. It’s as if the Holy Spirit endowed them with angelic voices and they were singing to God Hinself!
Seriously, I wonder if there would ever be a stronger version. This chorale is ordained in heaven and instituted on earth
I know right? Utterly blown away by the quality of the voices. I’ve sang this piece before with a choir I considered to be top quality and we had nothing on these performers. That first note was soooo worth the wait of the long introduction.
I totally agree with you. That dark deep sound of the men was most amazing.
Wow!... youre not joking
@@kevinbush4300 I have being singing in choirs be it in North America.the caribbean.europe and Australia. And this is by far the best I have witnessed. This is the standard.then everything comes after. . Truly African and suburb

What makes this rendition particularly powerful is that you can really hear the words being sung. A credit to your country and to this song! Thank you. 🙏

Goosebumps all over my body. What a performance!!! God bless you all
Me too. All over!
An outstanding interpretation of Zadok! Those 'runs' were flawless!! Simply breathtaking.
Very beautiful and inspiring. I am a professional opera singer and I know the amazing effort you all have put into this performance to make it a musical delight.
First time hearing this song, soo proud ofmy African folks ❤🇯🇲
Im absolutely amazed at how they make so few people sound like many, many, more.
If you close your eyes it sounds like there's a an entire orchestra, and a full choir behind them.
Amazing and they have very beautiful voices
Microphones and they are individually very talented.
That's very true.
All praise for the talent and discipline it took to achieve this performance. It takes nothing away from that to add that they have a cultural advantage: the vigorously and clearly articulated English that comes out of West African speakers. Had he been alive to hear this, Handel would have been over the moon.
I waited a decade for this song to be performed by the Choir!😅 Finally😍 Exquisite is an understatement!! Whew...love love love it!!!
Oh my goodness. How wonderful. God bless you all. Such strength. Such intensity! 🙋🇬🇧
Whaaaaattttt❗❗❗HC you guys are the best.. God bless you all abundantly 🙏🙏
They should have had this choir at the coronation. Well done. Amen. Greetings from Canada.
It just came across my feed; this was a breathtaking performance. Greetings from the USA
Made me wanna check
Sorry fam, coronation did it better. For one, The instruments were real and not electronic
The clarity was just perfect.
So powerful and beautiful
@@gianni206 singing is better here
Thank you so much for your wonderful rendition of a world masterpiece, love from the UK 🇬🇧 🙏 ❤️
A wonderful performance. Through YT, we have a great opportunity to watch and listen to great performances such as this one.
This is such a magnificent performance that I can’t help but weep in joy whenever I hear it.

Wow!!!. I have heard Zadok the Priest sang by other Choir's but Harmonious Chorale this is superb. Excellent. You never disappoint.
I heard Zadok The Priest sang at today's Coronation and I said why wasn't Harmonious Chorale invited to sing it. God bless you for blessing us with your beautiful singing.

I wonder if Handel ever imagined that his music would be performed in the middle of Africa without an organ is sight! So powerful. Beautifully done. Congratulations. Thank you from South Africa.
Isn't there a way to like something twice? 🥰🥰🥰. So beautiful
WHAT A PERFECT PERFORMANCE the tenors run is so difficult but was rendered with such aplomb all voices in the runs were outstanding this is the first time I have heard the choir and what a wonderful introduction the trumpets all instruments were just beautiful to listen to. Thank you angel voices ❤
Bravo HCG!
Fabulous achievement!
It would be bad of me to single out specifics but that won't stop me...
1. The radiant joy on the faces of the Sopranos and Altos
2. The precision and articulation of the Tenors and Basses particularly in the semi-quaver runs.
3. The super tone and accuracy of the trumpeters.
4. The overall sense of drama and engagement
5. The strong enthusiasm and clarity transmitted to the entire ensemble by the conductor.
Lots more I could say but I've already said too much so I'll stop.
THANK YOU SO MUCH &
HUGE CONGRATULATIONS

Nice performance.
First time l heard a Choir in Ghana singing this song was St.Peters Cathedral Choir in Kumasi (35 years ago) Hurry Hurry Harmonious.
I loved it! It’s early in the morning but well I’m awake anyhow.
This was simply fantastic! It goes to show that God’s music goes beyond race. Whoever is with God will be blessed with the joy and beauty of real music.
Ooooh I'm a Rwandan and I like catholic music very much so you guys make me feel good by hearing your beautiful voice. Long live and prosper
It’s Anglican!
@@jhouston8557 no worries the music doesn't have boundaries. When you like music you like the song regardless the church 👍
A fantastic rendition of this classic piece (props to the tenors, beautiful warm tone throughout) - much love from UK ❤❤

Imagine that music being performed in the traditional town of Chillingbourne.
Such a joy! Such excellence in singing, playing, trumpeting, conducting. Such perfect diction. Such choral discipline. God, Handel, King Charles III will all join in celebratory cheers. ❤
This was about King Solomon not Charles 3.
