  • Fabulous ! Nuff said. If the hair on the back of your neck doesnt stand to attention at this , then I suggest you're dead , or you have sold your soul !

  • Oh I wish I was Anglican. :)

  • I was a choirboy in the cantoris side of the coronation choir in 1953. I always liked singing this anthem. The other anthem that is well known is Zadok the priest.

  • I wanna do this song in my choir!!!

  • @sunbrightt it's in 4/4

  • could anyone tell me what meter this is in?

  • Such an epic anthem, VERY nearly brought me to tears!

  • And you can put Elgar aside, Parry was far more patriotic, and you can feel it in his music!

  • St Paul's never do anything by halves, in any respect, and that God they dont !!

  • Definitely needs the trumpets throughout!
