Subject: RE: Songs for King Charles's Coronation From: GUEST,Jim McLean Date: 16 Mar 23 - 04:11 AM Melody….Queen Mary, Queen Mary my age is sixteen.. King Charles, King Charles, you say that you care. For people on food banks, with nothing to spare. You’ve plenty of money so what will you give To help hungry children to eat and to live? At night when you’re sleeping, all warm in your bed Your room nice and cozy, you’re very well fed, Remember there’s people who sleep on the street With no woolly blankets and nothing to eat. You’ve castles and palaces, heap upon heap, Rooms never used where the homeless could sleep, Banqueting halls for a few of your crew No food banks or fear about heating for you. So scrap fancy plans for the day you’ll be crowned The cost we are told will be millions of pounds, We’d save lots of money and have the last laugh, If you and Camilla would just ………bugger aff! If you and Camilla would just eff off aff! |
Subject: RE: Songs for King Charles's Coronation From: Big Al Whittle Date: 15 Mar 23 - 10:08 PM Coronation Poem for King Charles III I really hope that you don’t wince But I always thinks of you as Prince. When you were little, I wished that we were mates There was pictures of you by the palace gates; Crying cos your Mum was gallivanting off on tour And you weren’t gonna see her for weeks or more. I felt sorry for you then, I wished you’d been my marrer. I’d have let you have a go with my bow and arrow. Cowboys and Indians, Robin Hood, Sat’day morning pictures – that would have been good. The swings in the park – I’d have give you a push Games of marbles in the gutter, that would have been lush. Later on I heard bout the Gordonstone days being bad How they thrashed and mistreated a decent young lad. You submitted to all their sadistic tosh And poor little bugger, you came out posh. |

Subject: RE: Songs for King Charles's Coronation From: GUEST Date: 15 Mar 23 - 07:53 AM "he has the same dna everyone else" Don't think that's actually true. |
Subject: RE: Songs for King Charles's Coronation From: GUEST,Gallus Moll Date: 14 Mar 23 - 08:47 PM Hagman's list of what's on for the waste of time and money on a day of sycophancy gars me greet. People canny feed their kids, heat their homes - there is no justification for this unelected person to be a 'king', he has the same dna everyone else, ie human - no better than anyone else! I do not recognise monarchy, and shall continue to work for Scotland's INDEPENDENCE! |
Subject: RE: Songs for King Charles's Coronation From: Hagman Date: 14 Mar 23 - 07:45 PM From Limelight magazine, Feb 20. Not a lot of traditional English folksong here.....: "Buckingham Palace has announced that 12 newly commissioned pieces of music will be performed at The Coronation of Their Majesties The King and The Queen Consort at Westminster Abbey on Saturday 6 May. King Charles “has personally commissioned the new music and shaped and selected the musical programme for the Service,” read the statement. The Master of the Choristers at Westminster Abbey, Andrew Nethsingha, will oversee all musical arrangements and direct the music for the ceremony. Sir Antonio Pappano, Music Director for London’s Royal Opera House, will be conducting the Coronation Orchestra, made up of “a bespoke collection of musicians drawn from orchestras of The former Prince of Wales’ Patronages including the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.” The 12 pieces of music will consist of six orchestral commissions, five choral commissions and one organ commission. It represents a marked contrast with the music of the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953, which favoured established works by composers including Purcell, Walton, Holst and Elgar. Among the new works for the upcoming Coronation will be a new Coronation Anthem by Andrew Lloyd Webber, a new Coronation March by Patrick Doyle (composer of the film scores for Sense and Sensibility, Hamlet and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire) and a new commission for solo organ by Iain Farrington based on musical themes from Commonwealth countries. These will sit alongside new works by Sarah Class, Nigel Hess, Paul Mealor, Tarik O’Regan, Roxanna Panufnik, Shirley J Thompson, Judith Weir, Roderick Williams and Debbie Wiseman. Soloists performing at Westminster Abbey will include the Welsh bass-baritone Bryn Terfel, the South African soprano Pretty Yende and British baritone Roderick Williams. The Westminster organ will be played by the Abbey’s Sub-Organist, Peter Holder, and Assistant Organist, Matthew Jorysz. The service will be sung by The Choir of Westminster Abbey and The Choir of His Majesty’s Chapel Royal, St James’s Palace, joined by girl choristers from the Chapel Choir of Methodist College, Belfast and from Truro Cathedral Choir. The service will also include Greek Orthodox music by the Byzantine Chant Ensemble in homage to the late Duke of Edinburgh. A gospel choir, The Ascension Choir, will also perform, and The King’s Scholars of Westminster School will proclaim the traditional “Vivat” acclamations. Before the service itself, Sir John Eliot Gardiner will conduct The Monteverdi Choir and English Baroque soloists in an opening programme of choral music expected to include works by Byrd, Handel, Elgar, Hubert Parry and Sir Karl Jenkins. After the Coronation ceremony on Saturday, a Coronation Concert will be staged on Sunday and broadcast live at Windsor Castle by the BBC. The show’s headliners have yet to be announced but confirmed is The Coronation Choir, a diverse group created from the Britain’s many community choirs including Refugee choirs, NHS choirs, LGBTQ+ singing groups and deaf signing choirs. The Coronation Choir will appear alongside The Virtual Choir, made up of singers from across the Commonwealth, for a special performance on the night." (Does Queen have to change its name to "King" now?) |
Subject: RE: Songs for King Charles's Coronation From: Bainbo Date: 14 Mar 23 - 07:15 PM There's the Royalist ballad from the English Civil Wars, When The King Enjoys His Own Again, looking forward to another King Charles being on the throne. |
Subject: RE: Songs for King Charles's Coronation From: Jack Campin Date: 14 Mar 23 - 06:54 PM Something I haven't found yet: a song about the execution of Charles I saying he had it coming. There must have been a few. Nearest I can get is the children's rhyme "Mary Queen of Scots Got Her Head Chopped Off" about his gran. |
