These four splendid anthems were composed for the coronation of
George II in October 1727 and have since retained a position at the
heart of the English choral tradition. The popular anthem Zadok the
priest has been performed at all subsequent coronations, and
Handel's other contributions to the royal occasion - Let thy hand
be strengthened, The King shall rejoice, and My heart is inditing -
have the same majestic grandeur, with affecting contrasts between
different sections of the sacred texts. The editor, Clifford
Bartlett, has corrected various inconsistencies in Handel's score,
and complete details of sources and editorial method, additional
performance notes, and a critical commentary can be viewed in the
companion full score available on hire.
