Zadok the Priest | Three British Coronations! (George VI - Elizabeth II - Charles III)

This compilation-video takes you on a musical journey through the annals of time, showcasing the solemn beauty of Handel’s anthem ‘Zadok the Priest’ as it resonates through the halls of Westminster Abbey at the coronations of three British monarchs: King George VI, Queen Elizabeth II, and King Charles III. ‘Zadok the Priest’ has been sung at every British coronation since that of King George II in 1727.
As the majestic notes of ‘Zadok the Priest’ is sung, we are transported to the heart of these historic ceremonies. The anthem, sung after the ‘Veni Creator’ and before the King’s anointing, shows the continuity of the British monarchy and its enduring link to its coronation rituals.
Each coronation represents a pivotal moment in British history, marking the ascension of a new monarch and the continuation of a storied lineage. King George VI’s coronation in 1937, preceding the Second World War, Queen Elizabeth II’s in 1953, with the dawn of a new Elizabethan era, and the most recent, King Charles III’s in 2023, taking the throne in a world of challenges.
Join us as we explore the history of British coronations, where history, music, and tradition intertwine to create a spectacle like no other. Experience the grandeur, the majesty, and the history of three British coronations in this musical journey.
