Charles Hubert Hastings Parry - I was glad 

Good parliaments? No luck on that front so far.

@renaissanceear-candy8189 Hence my prayer!

Vivat Rex Carolus

@@RenaissanceEarCandy Yes. But it somehow doesn't fit the music does it? Some adaptation needed.

@@susanmcguire6355 listen to the coronation of George VI (they had to sing Vivat Rex Georgus) and you'll see how they'll fit the words around it. They'll also sing Vivat Regina Camilla, which is in Latin already.

well if there happens to be a queen consort named Elizabeth then yes

As an organist myself I can tell you it's an exceptionally powerful instrument

Yes, we do need to draw near to Him as we are going to go through very testing times. I believe even our nearest and dearest will be against us and may even betray us.

Here here.

Lol

What is this song about?

@@kebabremover6024 it's the words of Psalm 122, with vivats added for the queen

As long as you are alive and is able to speak then sing your hearts desire

Strange to learn that Parry (who also wrote the music to Jerusleum) was in life a humanist, a non believer, and a Darwinian. He was also a strong believer in the right of women to vote. An intelligent and impressive man.

Anglicans at our best

An Anglicanism with conviction is something to behold indeed. (I say this as a Roman Catholic in love with the Anglican patrimony)

@@jbell0243 Hi, thanks for the reply. Do you know a lot about the Anglican church? I am a member of the Church of England.

HM has served not only the United Kingdom and Commonwealth of Nations but She has been a beacon of stability and dedication Worldwide and NEVER a step out of place.

Amen.

@@jerrycallender7604 Think she has a good Connection Up There. Where her strength comes from.

Yes, of the highest integrity, steps into the arena, no excuses, never complains, never explains...wonder woman!!🌹🌹 The English Rose.💖💖

@@nancyhobson9710 And now, because of her faith in Christ, she herself is up there!

The music requires incredible balance, and the first parts are incredibly high.

Astounding top Bb from the choristers at the end (I have never been able to reach that high, even as a child) and I can sing - alto in the church choir. I am blessed with perfect pitch, so notice details like that. In the key of Bb, with incredible major sixths and what a bass line! The swell of the organ at the end, along with the fanfare of trumpets - I say, hats off to you all!

Absolutely! Wonderful!

I know, life just doesn't feel the same now 😢

901cleo I agree with your comment. It is a truly exhilarating anthem. My soul is always refreshed and renewed when I hear it. The only thing is he was not Sir Parry but rather Sir Hubert. He was a baronet, had he been a baron he then would have been Lord Parry. Baronets are at the bottom of the ladder of hereditary being only knights. It is something we Americans are always getting wrong.

@Leonie Taylor Just be careful. Did you notice the senior boys in suits and white bow ties? They were the Queen's Scholars at Westminster School, who, by tradition, are the only persons allowed to sing the opening Vivats. One needs Royal permission to perform them in any case.

It’s Sir Charles not Sir Parry. You would address him as Sir Charles.

@Leonie Taylor ...... You brought back some memories for me, Leonie! Best Wishes

Sir Charles Hubert Hastings Parry !!

@J. K. LOL

ls there an equal ? or better ?

It is exiting. One goes to meet the King of Kings.

@J. K. what do you mean?

@@AmberPanda Our dear old Mother Church, the Church of England, has gotten more than a little bit sloppy with her doctrine in the last 60+ years. Mind you, so have most of her daughters in the English speaking world.

@@AmberPanda You might hear of some really chill, laid back nice guy called Jesus who doesn't want anything in particular from you and just wants to affirm you in whatever spiritual situation you're in and let you know he and his sky daddy think you're pretty great. The Jesus of the Holy Bible, you won't meet there.

The beauty of the Church of England.

She has reigned long already. How much longer do you want her to go? Maybe what keeps her going are all those "vivats" being shouted for her. VIVAT!!!!!

Mmmmm hmmmmm.

Maybe they should change that to Longer may she reign, already did that long part. Ha

Yea that organ does it .everytime

Lovely to see some alto appreciation 😁

I sing alto in a church choir and have perfect pitch. Gratifying to hear such heartening comments. The work is in Bb major, six part harmony with an astounding top Bb to finish, something I never could achieve, even in childhood!

As a former High Church Episcopalian/Anglican, can you also imagine the years and years of heartache as the beautiful language and liturgy was dismantled ?

you preferred your church to be racist, misogynistic, and homophobic?

@john grogan It’s her church. She’ll do what she wants!😜

@@CS88754 Henry made the Church in England the Church OF England. Same theology but different leadership. Rome could no longer milk England financially.

That's his job. We had a verger in my church once but the queen never showed up. I guess Maryland isn't part of her realm anymore.

@@DavidSmith-sb2ix Tut! Be accurate man. Maryland has never been part of Elizabeth's realm. It was for a few of our former Kings and Queens until George the 3rd lost them.

@@grahamnancledra7036 I was referring to the control of the colonies by the British crown not one particular monarch. Anyway it was a facetious comment.

Wondful piece indeed. Love the film too. The coronation scenes were actually The Queen's coronation.

Or it could be that the 'house of the Lord' referred to in this psalm was the Tabernacle. Either way, let us indeed be glad entering the spiritual house of God!

Alvaro Garcia the Queen of hearts is there, if you mean Diana, if she had been alive she would not be there, she was divorced and not part of the family

She’s dead. Leave her there

***** I wasn't around 500 years ago so I can't speak to the quality of their singing in 1513 but I can tell you most assuredly that what they do in this video wouldn't qualify them as one of the finest choirs within 20 feet of where they were standing, much less the world. To be clear, we're speaking of the teenage chaps with broken voices singing the 'vivats' [see 3:41], not the Abbey choir, which consists of men and boys with unbroken voices and is considered one of the finest of its type in the world. And again to be clear, I'm not arguing that the vivats are wrong. Parry scored them to be sung, by that group, in that way. It's their gig, so hats off to them. But it's not 'singing' as the Abbey Choir (or any of the dozens of cathedral and collegiate choirs in Britain) sing. It's more like yelling.

Waha, you think that's bad? Listen to the 1953 coronation version; that makes these Vivats sound like the heavenly choir. Some school... the Queen's (or King's) Scholar's from Westminster School, by tradition the first people to have the right to publicly acclaim the new monarch at the coronation. These are particularly brainy children who get scholarships to the school originally paid for out of the royal purse, starting with Henry VIII. So there's a close and long-standing link between them and the monarchy.Yes, they're not singers and no, they're not meant to sound beautiful - they're meant to make as much noise as possible in acclamation.

The original royal endowment was for "40 boys, to be taught grammar". Within a short time the school also started admitting local boys who could afford the tuition fees and who could pass a (slightly) easier entrance exam. They were (and are still called) called "oppidani", or "town boys"; but the original 40 scholarship places remained for those who wanted to attempt the very competitive entrance exam called The Challenge. Each year the top ten Challenge boys were offered scholarships. As there are ten places each year and only 40 scholarships, these boys had to finish the school curriculum in four years instead of the usual five. The school has an anachronistic set up: as it is an Anglican school with close links to the British monarchy, scholarships can only be given to boys brought up (nominally) as Anglicans. But particularly clever boys of any background could apply for "honorary" scholarships which had all the same perks. So yes, it's a very small percentage of the pupils who get scholarships - and these days the amount awarded covers only a small part of the school fees, so a Westminster scholarship is often more a prestige thing than an award of free tuition. That said, more and more the school is applying means testing of a sort, and clever and deserving boys and girls from poor backgrounds can get grants which will cover most of the school expenses, whether they win a Challenge scholarship or not. Every year there are big drives to raise money from old pupils for the scholarship funds, which now hold a great deal of money. The set up has changed slightly since I was at the school and that now the scholarship boys also do the full five year curriculum because, frankly, the standards at the school are so high that whether you win a scholarship or not, you've got to be pretty damn smart to get in. Girls also enter the school to do their last couple of years and they are entitled to scholarships on merit as well.

I thought this was perfect: the energy and enthusiasm of teenaged boys acclaiming their sovereign. Surely it was the proudest moment in their young lives, and it adds to the colour and pageantry of the occasion.

@Leonie Taylor Would you really like to be stared at as though you're some curious beast from another planet? I wonder what goes through the royals' minds as they walk up that aisle?

i found myself standing on the tomb of King Henry VIII and Jane Seymour in St George's Chapel Windsor. Shocked me.

You can step on all the tombs on the floor of the Abbey, except one - the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior. That tomb takes precedence over all others.

it's "Vivat Regina! Vivat Regina Elizabetha! Vivat! Vivat! Vivat!" on repeat. It translates to "Long live The Queen! Long Live Queen Elizabeth! Long live! Long live! Long live!"

Rex CArolus, no? Vivat Rex Vivat Vivat Rex CArolus Vivat

It will fit. All Kings’ and Queens’ names have fit somehow. (Check the video I’ve made on my channel) Vi-vat Re-gina Alex-andra Vi-vat Rex Ed-war-dus Vi-vat Re-gina Ma-ria Vi-vat Rex Geor-gius Vi-vat Re-gina Eliza-betha

You know your stuff but you should have written it 4:11

4.11? Are you sure? The camera doesn't show the conductor at 4.11. Besides, it merely confirms my opinion that "conducting", all this melodramatic arm-waving, is unnecessary. The choir & orchestra are musicians & know the music by heart. They know when to come in.OK, if they sing too loud, (or too softly) then they need to be directed. But this is what rehearsals are for. 2 beats early!!!! How is that possible?!!

No, I don't think he does actually, (& I've checked this many times!), but let's not argue about it.

The nun must be a frustrated football player.😉

Their names are Sister Annaliese and Sister Judith. They serve as Chaplains at Westminster Abbey. Sister Annaliese has been serving at Westminster since 2010 and Sister Judith since 2007.

After the first time I sang this, my comment was, "Well, now I'm warmed up!" A few other strong voices agreed while the rest were catching their breath Just imagine though, with the bass "tone" even if one came in early AND sang the pitch! Drown out the ENTIRE tenor section. A director I often work with often "sacrifices" basses to sing tenor if the section is weak which it often is. Fortunately, it's never me or the low basses will sing the next lowest part (OH NO!) There was a bass in this video who was very present near the end (at least that's when I noticed) on the last "And plenteousness within thy palaces". A beautiful piece Cheers!

These are the moments that make choir worth the toil.

He mightn't necessarily take on the name Charles

I've never seen him, a divorced adulterer married to a divorced adulterer, as King.

If you've got the combined choirs of the chapel royal and Westminster Abbey and that enormous five manual Harrison organ plus an entire orchestra you could sing the bloody boiler flue installation instructions and it would sound magnificent.

Seriously, anything sounds better than Regina. Perhaps I have a one track mind, but it sounds too much like some unspeakable part of the female anatomy.

Go check your facts, mummy's over-indulged little know-all. Women's suffrage became law in New Zealand in 1893, decades before pongoland or anywhere else was sufficiently courageous to do likewise. And I don't give a donkey's dork what females wear on their bonces to church or a school bazaar for that matter. I was posing a tongue-in-cheek rhetorical question. Suck it up, sweetie.

I do agree about the hats especially Camilla's, but she always wears a hat twice the size of the Queens. Well, I guess she can enjoy it, it may be the only crown she will ever wear. I don't think she realizes that a little humility goes a very long way with Her Majesty. And the "Vivat" is a typical Anglicization of the Latin word. They do all the time. We'll just have to live with it.

Especially Cowmilla. She always has to outdo Her Majesty who is always so stylist, even if a little understated... The fabric of Her Majesty`s outfit was luxurious, regal, classic and definitely a cut-above...... One good point about Cowmilla´s hats is they hide a lot of her ugly mug.

God bless English women hats!

TheRenaissanceman65 LOL, I have many problems with he Duchess of Cornwall, but her hat(s) is certainly not on of them. The old dear has come quite a long way in being accepted. She can be rather charming. Charles likes her, that is all that counts.

In a church service, everyone (including the Queen) is gathered to honor a higher power, God.

Victoria Fry Elizabetha is Latin for Elizabeth, if he takes Charles as his regnal name, then it will Vivat Rex Carolus as it was for Charles l, but over the years its been reported that his regnal name then it will be Vivat Rex Georgius The anthem of Laetatus sum has been used for the entrance of the Monarch since Charles l and l was glad was written for Edward VII Coronation

It will fit. All Kings’ and Queens’ names have fit somehow. (Check the video I’ve made on my channel regarding Vivats)

The original composition didn't have the fanfare as it was written for King Edward VII's coronation. It was composed and added to the coronation of George V in 1911.

Yes indeed. I don't understand why the congregation didn't bow/curtsy as the sovereign passed by. It would certainly have been appropriate to the occasion! Once they went through the screen and beyond the nave most people acknowledged the sovereign I noticed.

@Robert Cawley The query was rhetorical, which any intelligent person would recognize.

@Robert Cawley ...and you exhibit none in yours.

@Leonie Taylor A 'LADY' does not consort with a married man. She is a divorced adulterer. 'LADIES' do NOT commit adultery!

It's called "Westminster Latin". I think this goes back to the Reformation when the King's Scholars were explicitly ordered not to use the 'italian' pronunciation (apparently, proper Latin alone was considered subversive those times)

@@georgev9170 Thank you. That makes sense!

@@georgev9170 Interesting!

Anglicised Latin.

The Vivat is declared 'on behalf of the people at large' - it was and is always intended to be declared verbally.

I thought the teenaged boys added youthful power, gusto, and energy to the proclamation -- exactly as Parry intended.

An ignorant comment by an ignoramus, ignorant of the score. American? Definitely foreign.

All versions of any of the “I Was Glad” were composed without the vivats included. They are added just for the coronation procession and are shouted by the Queen's Scholars of Westminster School.

I am minding my own business.....

as per score

An ignorant comment by an ignoramus, ignorant of the score. American?

Connie Maheswaren The vivat was perfect, just the way it should be. It is not now nor ever has been or ever will be musical.

The Queen - maybe but not The King as there wasn't a King there. However, HRH The Duke of Edinburgh most certainly was.

The Queen is never late. As Sovereign, she is the last to arrive and the first to leave. No one arrives after her and no one leaves before her.

Everything is timed to the second....

Dale Rider there is not king. Prince Charles, the Duke of Edinburgh is her consort.

TheRenaissanceman65 Forgive me, I meant Prince Phillip.
