Coronations are the grandest of all state occasions. This is the
first comprehensive in-depth study of the music that was performed
at British coronations from 1603 to the present, encompassing the
sixteen coronations that have taken place in Westminster Abbey and
the last two Scottish coronations. Range describes how music played
a crucial role at the coronations and how the practical
requirements of the ceremonial proceedings affected its structure
and performance. The programme of music at each coronation is
reconstructed, accompanied by a wealth of transcriptions of newly
discovered primary source material, revealing findings that lead to
fresh conclusions about performance practices. The coronation
ceremonies are placed in their historical context, including the
political background and the concept of invented traditions. The
study is an invaluable resource not only for musicologists and
historians, but also for performers, providing a fascinating
insight into the greatest of all Royal events.
