Paul McCreesh An English Coronation, 1902-1953 (CD) Album

Description: Further DetailsTitle: An English Coronation, 1902-1953Condition: NewDescription: The four coronations of the Twentieth Century were enormous and extravagant. Replete with festive pageantry, these ceremonies were joyful celebrations of British music, employing tremendous forces. Choirs from across London and beyond were marshalled to provide a chorus of over 400 voices; a full-size symphony orchestra was squeezed into Westminster Abbey, whilst bands of fanfare trumpeters led the pomp and celebration. In the imposing surroundings of Ely Cathedral, Paul McCreesh and Gabrieli bring the history, ceremony and liturgy of these extraordinary events to life. With his renowned creative flair, McCreesh's painstaking research will provide the springboard for their latest ground-breaking recreation project. The result is a joyful celebration of five centuries of choral music, performed with the same vast forces as were heard at the coronation services. Alongside an orchestra of rare early-Twentieth Century instruments, an extended Gabrieli Consort is amplified by the energetic sound and fresh faces of several hundred young singers from Gabrieli's choral training programme Gabrieli Roar. The music is interspersed by the coronation liturgy, with Simon Russell Beale speaking the part of the Archbishop of Canterbury.Format: CDEdition: AlbumNo Of Discs: 2Run Time: 159.21Record Label: Signum ClassicsRelease Date: 05/03/2019Composer: David Matthews, Samuel Sebastian Wesley, Thomas Tallis, Johann Sebastian Bach, John Redford, William Walton, Hubert Parry, Edward Elgar, Ralph Vaughan Williams, Henry Purcell, William Byrd, George Frideric Handel, Charles Villiers Stanford, Herbert Howells, John Merbecke, Orlando Gibbons, Walter Parratt, Charles Wood, Ernest Bullock, William CroftConductor: Paul McCreeshPerformer Orchestra: Gabrieli PlayersGenre: ClassicalStyle: CompilationEAN: 0635212056929Artist: Paul McCreeshMPN: SIGCD569Release Year: 2019Tracks: Disc 11: Coronation March, Op. 652: The King's Herald3: Rejoice Today With One Accord4: O Most Merciful5: Litany6: O God, Our Help in Ages Past7: Chorale Fantasia On 'O God, Our Help'8: Pomp and Circumstance March No. 19: Entrance Fanfare10: I Was Glad11: The Presentation, Fanfares and Acclamations12: The Administration and Signing of the Oath13: O Hearken Thou14: The Collect15: Peter 2:13-1716: Hear My Prayer17: Matthew 22:1518: Creed19: Come, Holy Ghost20: The Prayer Over the Ampulla21: Zadok the Priest22: The Anointing and BlessingDisc 21: Prayers, Acclamations and Crowning Fanfare2: Be Strong and Play the Man3: The King Receives the Holy Bible4: The Blessing of the King and People5: The Exhortation6: Rejoice in the Lord Alway7: I Will Not Leave You Comfortless8: O Clap Your Hands Together9: Thou Wilt Keep Him in Perfect Peace10: Homage Fanfare and Acclamations11: The Old Hundredth Psalm Tune12: The Offertory Prayer and Prayer for the Church Militant13: The Exhortation, General Confession and Absolution14: The Preface15: Sanctus16: The Prayer of Humble Access and Prayer of Consecration17: O Taste and See18: The Lord's Prayer19: The Post-communion Prayer20: Coronation Gloria in B-flat21: The Blessing22: Threefold Amen23: Coronation Te Deum24: Recessional and National Anthem25: Coronation March: Crown Imperial Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
