    It’s so wonderful to hear this stirring anthem performed in the place for which it was composed nearly 300 years ago!

    The organ accompaniment is beautiful - I like it much better than the orchestral versions I have heard. The narrator said "So, lets enjoy it". I would have enjoyed it more without his talking over the beginning. Then he does the same to the following organ interlude.

      Handel dropped the German umlaut and pronunciation of his name when he moved to England from Italy, having spent several years there after he left Germany as a very young man; he spent most of his life in England.
      Handel spelled his name in the English fashion as you can see on every single extant signature on his manuscripts, letters and his will, and the case is exactly the same as the ‘French’ composer Lully who abandoned Lulli and all his Italian background after he moved to Paris.
      Its odd how some people seem to still use the German form of Handel, but never the Italian form of Lully.
      UK’s fine today, but you need to be careful about backdating it as there are was the Union of the crowns of Scotland and England in 1603, various Acts of Union particularly in 1707 and 1801, changes of name, and the secession of part of Ireland in 1922.
      (Some people can be a bit touchy though about how they define themselves, though probably not more or less so than can be found in most other countries).

      The monarchy actually generates a significant amount of money for the British economy, far more than it costs the taxpayer to maintain it.

      The British, not just the English people, contribute something like 80p a year towards the monarchy. However, look at the tourism it brings, and the thousands of jobs it creates, and the income.

      Nobody expects you to accept that the different countries in the world (especially those with origins way more ancient compared to yours) do have completely different cultures compared to the country in wich you live.
      Americans sure are self centered.
