MUSIC FOR King’s Coronation revealed.
THE music for the Coronation will be “very celebratory” and “fun”, GB News can exclusively reveal.
Speaking to GB News, Julian Lloyd Webber, whose brother Andrew is comping the music, told Michael Portillo he’d heard the music.
He said: “I’ve heard it. Everything had to be played to King Charles. So yes, you know, so it’s, it’s very celebratory. And, you know, he’s certainly using the building. You can hear that. It’s a fun piece, which I think it should be and I think that’s very much how he felt, I think they actually changed some of the words of Psalm 98 with King Charles’ agreement, and because he wanted to make it even more joyous.”
Meanwhile Shirley Thompson, one of the composers of the music for the Coronation, told GB News of her joy at being a part of history.
She said: “Those involved have become a community, yes, we very much have become the coronation composers and we’re all meeting up for lunch afterwards after the ceremony and stuff. We’ve got a whatsapp group – and several of my friends are actually composing music. I feel excited more than anything. I am very excited about it and just very much overawed by the magnificence of it, because it’s so historical. I am reflective in the way that I wrote for the Queen exactly 20 years ago, so I am feeling that sense of history and the legacy of the Queen at the same time.”
