It's so sad and yet surreal that you guys in the UK will hear this hymn in its original context for the first time in 70 years and with double Vivats - Vivat Regina Camilla and Vivat Rex Carolus. Though I'm Polish, I'm sure our TV will broadcast their coronation and I'll definitely watch it. And rest in peace Regina Elisabetha, you've already met the King of kings.
@@johanndominik2032 nah, in this case we use Nominativus since vivat is the predicate and Carolus is the subject. If vivat was in in imperative, then it would be Carole in Vocativus but it's not in this case
Watching the very young Elizabeth walk down the Abbey to be crowned to this glorious music and shouts of Vivat Vivat sends shivers through me. Wonderful, powerful, uplifting music.
My father was finishing his National Service in 1953, aged twenty. Mother was nearly seventeen and a grammar school sixth former at the time, so both old enough to remember it very well!
Astounding piece in Bb major six part harmony with incredible major sixth chords and a sterling bass line. I sing alto in a church choir and have perfect pitch. The top Bb to finish is beyond my range, even in childhood. The ending is really phenomenal!

The glory of God doesn't come into it (and why does the glory get a capital letter??), but rather the remarkable development in the expectations in the ears - and, behind those, the brains - of Europeans from the 12th century on, and the state those expectations were in at the moment when Parry sat down to write this (sorry, I don't actually KNOW that he sat down to compose...) - when the future of these particular harmonic progressions was (seen retrospectively, now) DOOMED! Nothing in Parry implies, or (more ambitiously) entails the existence of the individual you mention.
Sir Charles Hubert Parry, certainement l'un des compositeurs Britanniques les plus importants. J'apprécie particulièrement la musique Britannique et je dis haut et fort 'Bonjour les Britanniques'.
At 2:15 it says: "Jerusalem is builded as a city that is at unity in itself." My heart begins to pound when I hear that. I love this Psalm and Parry's composition for it.
It's about the Holy of Holies as a Unity, the presence of God in the New Jerusalem. Just cried through it!! Singing it on Sunday during Queen's Jubilee Platinum celebration.
I've been privileged to sing this piece twice in recent years as part of a large choir (albeit without the Vivats). It's just as thrilling to sing as to listen to, especially when, like me, you are a First Soprano and you get to soar up into the rafters. It's a fabulous piece of music!
I had never heard of this tune until William and Kate's wedding. I absolutely adore this and cannot stop listening to it. When listening to this, it sends shivers down my spine.
@Raunak Chatterjee It wouldn't be vivat regina Catharina, Catherine will be the Queen consort not Queen. I will be vivat rex and what ever William's regnal name will be.
@@disinterestede The Westminster School will shout, and the choir will follow, first with "Vivat Regina Catharina" (as she will precede her husband in the procession, being the consort; then with Vivat Guglielmus Rex (or whatever version of Latinization William choses - he has little reason for changing anything for his regnal name). It might be worth looking up the 1937 coronation of George VI and Queen Elizabeth (later the Queen Mother) to see this. We will not see this with Charles and Camilla, as she will not become queen on his accession (barring some shift in popular opinion; mind you, she's been married to him longer than Diana was.) How she will recognized beyond simply the King's wife remains to be seen.
Heavenly. Liturgical music is the greatest glory of European choral culture. I am a classical composer dedicated to church music, and I hope, with my works, to bring people closer to the divine, the beauty, the consolation.
Why are English people so quick to consider Händel English, but almost never acknowledge the right of Eastern European, Pakistani or Arab immigrants to become truly British over time (even the second, third generation)? Just sayin'.
@@Zik2 The answer is, that's simply not true. Anyone who truly integrates into English society is considered English. That doesn't mean creating a Muslim commune in Tooting, that means doing as the Romans do when in Rome. Everyone who has integrated has been treated the same as any other Englishman, as the black community here in Kent can testify.
I remember fondly singing this in c choral society with a music teacher in the 60s. She was incredibly encouraging, and asked us if we wanted to sing the "Vivats" - of course we all did even if it wasn't any royal occasion. It's one of the most brilliant musical memories that I have with her (Margaret Hedger if anyone remembers her).
@@brucehutchison3946 this is a beautiful piece of music. I am reading the biography of Queen Victoria and read this was played at her coronation .

@@deborahkelly1489 I don't know what you were reading but you have been misinformed. Queen Victoria's coronation was in June 1838 nearly ten years before Parry was born. He composed "I Was Glad" for the coronation of King Edward VII in 1902

1 I was glad when they said to me, "Let us go to the house of the LORD!" 2 Our feet have been standing within your gates, O Jerusalem! 3 Jerusalem-built as a city that is bound firmly together, 4 to which the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, as was decreed for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD. 5 There thrones for judgment were set, the thrones of the house of David. 6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! "May they be secure who love you! 7 Peace be within your walls and security within your towers!" 8 For my brothers and companions' sake I will say, "Peace be within you!" 9 For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good. - Psalms 122
Wonderfully performed at today's (May 6, 2023) coronation for Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla for Their procession: From the published liturgy: "The anthem ‘I was Glad’ is a version of Psalm 122. It has been used at the Entrance of the Monarch since at least 1626. The celebrated setting by Sir Charles Hubert Hastings Parry (1848-1918) composed for the Coronation of Edward VII in 1902 includes the cry ‘Vivat Rex!’ (Long Live The King!) which is, by tradition, loudly proclaimed by scholars from Westminster School. Throughout the service you will hear the familiar cries of ‘God save King Charles’, ‘God save The King’ or ‘Long Live The King’. These are in themselves a form of prayer calling upon God to protect The King."
Such a stirring piece in Bb major with the voices raised in six part harmony. Great bass line and major sixths as well as the organ swelling to a crescendo. Outstanding!
Oh for that glorious day when the Lord Jesus shall return and come through the Eastern gate into the city Jerusalem which He wept over. The Jewish Messiah, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. He is alive forevermore
ghughesarch well that comment sure put a dampener on things here. You will be very sad one day that you believed that the Truth is a lie!! God bless you.
There's a great line in the play 'The Audience' about the Queen where she says her coronation was a more important feeling even than her wedding day or motherhood. Obviously we don't know if Her Majesty actually said that, but this music imparts to me at least something of that sensation.
Until relatively recently, each European country had its own national method of pronouncing Latin. Remnants of this can be heard in English Legal Latin (such as "Habeas corpus"). Italian ambassadors to Pre-Reformation England reported that they could barely understand the Latin they heard in English churches. The reason ecclesiastical Latin often sounds Italian today is because Pope Pius X (1903-1914) desired that the Catholic Church universally use one pronounciation - the one used in Rome.
A glowing and rousing piece of Pomp and Circumstance like only English composers could produce. And Parry certainly was not the least of them ! Why he is not considered a top-drawer composer is quite beyond me.
There are three English ways of pronouncing Latin: until c 1900 we pronounced it as though it was English - this survives in Latin words and phrases used in ordinary speech (et cetera, vice versa, for example) and by lawyers - and here ( vivat pronounced vie-vat). Then the schools and universities adopted a pronunciation believed, probably rightly, to be closer to what spoken Latin actually sounded like (vivat becomes weewut). And there's Latin as spoken by the Catholic Church - pronounced as though it was (modern) Italian (vivat pronounced vee-vut) - don't know about nowadays, but in my youth always used by English choirs singing Latin texts.
I was fortunate to be part of a choir in which we sang this beautiful psalm in commeration of the queens anniversary of her coronation and it has always been one of my favourite pieces that we sang under the guidance of one of the young men who was a member of the choir at our queens coronation jean
Indeed. And at Westminster (School), whose King's Scholars actually sing the coronation vivats, all three are used. In class and for A Levels and the performance of the regular Latin Play, the pronunciation believed to be that of the Romans is used. In the School's regular Latin Prayers, at the Commemoration of Benefactors and of course at Coronations (including the next one when it will be 'Vivat Rex Carolus'), the Anglicised pronunciation is used. And I imagine any school choir singing mediaeval or baroque Latin anthems would use the Italianate variant.
for the curious: it is a privilege to do the vivat during coronation and it is vested in the scholars of Westminster School. wow i wrote the comment 8 years ago and now we wait just 10 days and will hear it in all its splendor.
When Kate and William got married in 2011 this is actually the song that Kate walked down the isle to (minus the vivats of course😊), and towards the end when they hit the high note on plentiousness is when she made it to the end of the isle and ultimately to her (at the time soon-to-be) husband. Just a fun fact!😊👑
