    I can assure Handel is always listening to the choir and organ as he is buried in the South Transept, a few feet away from the choir stalls and right next to the South organ case.

    This rendition is a classic example of the magnificent choral tradition in the U.K and England in particular - may it continue to prosper. As a former parish church and college chorister I do hope so.

    Nothing gives spectacle to an English cathedral service more than the boy sopranos, whose clear, silvery voices rise above all others in the choir. These performances are reliably the best of their kind in the world. The illusion the old choirmasters was seeking was "angels on high" and these schoolboys come wonderfully close to the ideal.

      Unfortunately, in today's "progressive" world, boys choirs are in decline due to them being forced to accept girls. You cannot compare the two in any way! I am not saying girl's voices are bad, it's simply a biological fact if life that boy's voices are in a class of their own, and many of our class composers KNEW that and composed music strictly for boys. Personally, I cannot stand to listen to ANY female singers with the exception of a half dozen female opera singers who I enjoy very much. Sorry, girls, form your own choir, don't mess with something that has worked splendidly for centuries. Some church choirs in England have both boys and girls choirs. On those days the girls choir is in session, attendance plummets!
      When the boys are in session, then attendance shot back up again!
      In my own small parish church (established in 1205), the vicar decided to have a mixed choir. After two weeks, all the boy choristers quit. One week later, the girls quit too, probably because there were no boys around. Now, after all these centuries, there is NO choir!
      The vicar was literally run out of town by angry church goers.
      May God grant us some sanity during these days of multiculterism and ridiculous mandates that define boys and girls as one sex! There is a reason God created boys and girls. Deal with it!

    This is just how it should be sung,and why it sounds so great in this version.Handel wrote the anthem with the Choristers of Westminster Abbey,and the Chapels Royal of Hampton Court/St James in mind.
    These are all male choirs,which is what Handel's composition dynamics call for in this anthem.
    I don't say that modern choirs(including female voices) don't sound good too,only that this is how one would have heard it at the coronation of George II.

    While Westminster certainly has a fine choir, they are only one of many in the UK,
    and even more in Europe. Many thanks to the boys, and the people who train them
    to continue this wonderful tradition. I, myself, was once a choir boy, many moons
    ago, with York Minster. You have no idea how much hard work these boys put into
    each and every performance.

      Julie Davis: It's not up to The Queen: the Parliament of the United Kingdom and the parliaments of the other fifteen Commonwealth realms would have to agree to repeal the 1701 Act of Settlement, and amend also the 1931 Statute of Westminster. I suppose Her Majesty could arrange for some arsenic to be slipped into his bedtime drink but that might be taking matters a trifle too far.

    I said, or the rather, I stated "in a way" ! The Queen is 'the nursing mother' of the Nation and the Commonwealth !

    I thoroughly enjoyed the amazing organist! He or she was phenomenal in this. I remember being in awe of the complicated setup of the organ and thinking it was cool that u rarely see the organist during the playing of a composition

      @Spilled Milk Spilled, the little icon of a thumbs-down is meaningful only if a number appears beside it. For example, the numeral 2 indicates 2 people who dislike something about the video. No numeral means no one dislikes it. Among your 78 I can find no negative votes, as befits this great musician. Unknot those knickers!

    One of Handel's greatest. A beautiful piece well chosen by the Queen. I watched the service on television and can only praise Her Majesty for choosing this. Most of the rest of the music was underwhelming and this made it so much better!

    • @MS-19
      @MS-19 Год назад +1

      The choir of Westminster Abbey (and many others in the UK) traces its origins back to the monastic choir, which comprised monks and boys - sometimes orphaned and taken in to be raised and educated by the monks, at other times given to the service of the church as an 'oblation' (offering to God) by their parents. As music developed beyond plainchant into polyphony, the boys took the highest parts (treble, equivalent to soprano) as their unchanged voices could naturally achieve those notes. In the 21st century, most choral foundations in the UK provide for young girls to sing as well as boys, and there are some places that allow women to sing too, but the longest tradition has been that of the all-male choir.

    Thank you for this. What a joy to sing- and sung so lively here by Westminster Abbey and the Chapel Royal choristers. Can't wait to hear what they've been preparing for the upcoming wedding.
