Music for the Coronation for King Charles III

Two anthems published by RSCM Publications are featuring in the Coronation of King Charles. Confortare by Walford Davies, composed for the Coronation of King George V in 1911, will be sung at the end of The Homage of The People; and The King shall rejoice by William Boyce, (edited by Maurice Bevan) was written for the coronation of George III in 1761, and will be sung during the final Blessing.

These and the other music sung during the Coronation currently published, are available to order from RSCM Music Direct: https://www.rscmshop.com/features/coronation-music

The RSCM sends its best wishes to all the musicians taking part in the Coronation, including the choirs, organists, instrumentalists, orchestras and bands, and their conductors and directors.
