The tenors are the best ever.

@BHNOBBER Thank You Very Much. Sorry about the late reply but I didn't get the notification for this reponse.

[Tang0Fox1]

Does anyone know who composed this piece?

[Craspic]

I'm glad to see this in its intended setting. Our church choir is doing this piece tomorrow night as part of a concert (cutting out the Vivat part, of course, since it's unlikely the queen will be at an American Methodist church).

the brass sounds good with the choir and organ.

This made me cry, and I'm not even English. What a splendid way to thank Her Majesty for her many years of great service.

I get chills when I am in this building.

Unfortunately last I checked the BBC had not yet made this production available on DVD. Correct me if I'm wrong...

Beautiful! Absolutely lovely.

[notyobs]

Sensational. Dear God, how can any right thinking person watch this and believe human beings evolved from apes?

[clementyaohui]

Long reign of Her Majesty. Where can I ger a copy of this piano sheet? Thank you.

This is so impressive, the English do ceremony so splendidly well!!

[paulpodcast]

I am so incredibly proud to be English. We have such a magnificent heritage and such low self esteem sometimes.

This choral piece linked to the magnificence of St Paul's is just outstanding.

[chazrc23]

Outstanding

[Cantormatis]

Great piece and here is one hell of a performance. The English Ceremonial style in all its glory!

[dunelmite1]

@Cantormatis The English Ceremonial style simply cannot be beaten!!

[sneakyisland]
