    "Speaking on Coronation Kyrie, the first Welsh-Language piece, Mr Mealor said: “It is a meditative, introspective piece based on a blend between Gregorian chant and Cerdd Dant (Welsh Penillion singing - an important part of eisteddfodau). I was inspired by the great Welsh tunes - Aberystwyth, Cwm Rhondda, Ar Lan Y Môr - and the composition is coloured by the harmonies of these songs. It is a cry from the deep soul of the hills and valleys of Wales for hope, peace, love, and friendship.” (The meaning of the Welsh-language song being sung at the coronation, Wales online, May 6, 2023)

      Sadly, the anointing of a king (never a queen) belongs to the Old Testament, not the New Testament - which only contains anointing of Christ for burial (MARK 14:8), and the sick. No temporal rulers in spiritual matters…
      JAMES 5:
      14 “Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.”
