Howell’s “Behold, O God, Our Defender” was composed for Queen Elizabeth’s 1953 coronation and performed at her Jubilee and her funeral. Handel’s “Coronation Anthems” were commissioned for the coronation of George II of Great Britain in 1752 and “Zadok the Priest” has been performed at numerous coronations since. Mozart’s popular “Coronation Mass” was first performed in 1792 at the coronation of Francis II, the last king of the Holy Roman Empire.
