Handel - Zadok the Priest (BEST VERSION EVER !!!) with lyrics 

And they should! With deference. 😁

@Heretic No buddy. Far from original. Think I first cames across it with Buddy Holly's That'll Be The Day. No idea who first used it.

My neighbors do too!😂

I get it. I've had a few knocks on my door.

Only once, but the town entire!

Sir, I salute you!

If the need ever comes for intensive dental treatment in the future, I will remember to listen to this piece. Thanks for your comment.

Robert Howard Brilliant man

Robert Howard A coronation of an altogether different kind...

Robert Howard

Paul McRae And the soul will be dead

Yes very true.

It gives me goose but no the bumps 😔

When I visited Buckingham Palace, walking up the ceremonial staircase, the music playing in the audio device around my neck was Zadok the Priest. I still get goosebumps remembering that. May 6th I am sure I will have them again!

​@MarthaE what an amazing experience

Amen! Even the thought of singing it again gives anticipatory chills. I love this group of songs.

It reminds me of a Whippet stalking a Squirrel.... the slow pacing, the Triumphant RUSH, the Capture, then the release..

Handel is a legend

Me too in Royal Choral Society in the Albert Hall..just. sublime

This is a very crisp rendition of Zadok..quite like it...

Yeh i then start to sit up straight, have my face stoic, eyes cold and stiff posture. Imagined holding scepters and watch the world bow before me. Im the ruler.. for a few seconds. Atleast in my own imagination.

You're not the only one. I love this part!

@@pieckfinger7169 I imagine it that way!

Absolutely this makes me closer to heaven and it’s very Christmasy

Yea. Absolutely. :=) it so to say majesizes your life’s work. (The grammar is wrong but you get the point. It gives your calling a truly majestic touch)

Omg me too 😂

Same!

l first heard this at Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth's coronation, when l was just coming up to ten yeats old and have loved it ever since. l think the version from His Majesty King Charles lll's coronation is the best one of all the versions l have googled!

Same with me!

Empératrice....

@roskruge.j.a And you never attended your humour classes!

. P

hmmm...excepting the fact that Cromwell died some 70 years or more before this was composed...but hey...

Charles was Catholic

Tom Barry Handel actually wrote I’m in tribute to the Crown of Britain lollll

@@quintp.3413 only such a piece could be justified for our lord jesus christ. Our one true king.

Not ours.. maybe yours but not ours sis lmao

No! this anthem was made in relation to a real story about crowning conflict inside the british royal family in the past, and it has nothing to do with jesus and the king solomon!

I'm nicking this one

+DJjakedrake Yep, I think Handel invented 'the drop' : )

Karen Kable I absolutely loved this

Yet they could see the 100s strong choir, and ask themselves : are they here just for the show?

Eh?

bro is this song but the instrumental version

and different test

I can see that to be fair, always thought they sounded similar in some aspects

.........21.12

This must be some kind of joke?

Notice that the images are mostly of Christ the King. Do the math about Charles

May 6th 2023

Cool

I’m so excited!!!

Sublime..

It’s not a ‘song’, it’s quite clearly a coronation anthem.

@@elaineblackhurst1509An anthem is a type of song

@@JWashington754 It clearly is not, unless you redefine ‘song’ to mean something it does not. Johnny Cash wrote and sang songs, as did the Beatles; Handel’s four pieces for the coronation of George II are anthems.

@@elaineblackhurst1509 Yes, an anthem is a type of song, often associated with a particular group, cause, or nation. It typically carries a significant and patriotic or ceremonial meaning.

@@JWashington754 As my previous response.

No it shouldn’t - it was quite clearly written for the coronation of British monarchs.

Was* was the correct term. Is still implies he is alive

Too bad all that glorious celebration is spent on a King who has no power to change the leadership of his land, leadership that leads to ruin. People who deserve celebration, like Jeremy Corbin, are relegated to obscurity. The countries of the West have insanely greedy, destructive leaders and media.

@@notgadot I don't want to be the one that brings you the bad news

+CrazyThumb This is the anthem of the Champions League also :-)

+Raphael S Carvalho No, it isn't. The Chapions League theme bears some similarities, but is definitely not the same.

@@Timrath it is

save the turkz for thanksgiving in america jajaja

Non. Vive la Gaulle.

Down with la gaulle

Handel was pretty much unbeatable at this sort of ceremonial music.

Is, not was…

A propaganda piece, but a GREAT propaganda piece! have Iistened to this and the other 3 coronation anthems over and over again for several years.

T Green In my opinion footballers are mentally retarded. But maybe I'm unfair?

I agree most are idiots, but there are a few exceptions. A very select few, but they are there. The rest can go and be overpaid retarded crybabies, it's usually what they are best at.

@@bigowl9408 👍

387 "rear" old song 😂

But not old Charlie boy.

Long live the king!

AMEN Brother...AMEN !!!!

Was he real?????

​@@michellepeoplelikeyoumurde8373ancient coins were discovered in Jerusalem bearing the name and symbols of Solomons descendant Hezekiah so yes he was real.

well, we can hope it will help you in a spiritual elevation;)

Beautiful and inspiring

Me too. I'm an atheist, but I'm first and foremost a patriot. This music represents a history and tradition that has lasted for more than a thousand years- can't understand those who wouldn't be affected at least a little bit by it.

Got to love choral pieces

pix046 I am. Brit who has lived in the USA for 47 years, raised an Anglican and still have soft spot for the good old C of E but I am a dedicated atheist. I live in Central Tennessee, a lovely very wealthy place with more churches than people. The average Jesus FREAK here is to dumb to have ever heard of this GLORIOUS ENGLISH ORATORIO. When I tell them about it, they are confused because it is not some god awful C and W CRAP. Actually there are some real music lovers here, the Nashville Symphony and their chorus are MAGNIFICENT. I have been lucky as I lived in Chicago for 33 years and the are very few things in this world that can compete with the MIGHTY CSO. This is a fabulous performance, I jumped to my feet and conducted the entire work. My beautiful11 year old granddaughter loves the music as well but she runs off to her grandmother saying " Granddad is waving his arms about again".

Yawn.

Well then...

@@wiremucurtis3891 yes, well

She gonw

im sure the eternal life; is in the biblical sense. John 3:16. 3:36, etc

The Queen did take her Role very seriously. Her reprobate relatives...Sheesh.

Greetings from Brisbane Australia amigo !!!!

you're right!

strong competition incoming: live performance in may 2023 :)

Pardon? Never.
