14 Mar 23 - 07:45 PM (#4167573) Subject: RE: Songs for King Charles's Coronation From: Hagman 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."

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. |

Perhaps, given his interest in learning from many sources (about "faiths", for instance), an appropriate, indeed a fitting, title for the current illegitimate usurper might be "Charles the Absorbent". Quite closely, indeed snugly and comfortably, fitting, some might recognise, given his recorded views. |

Woke up this morning, Tumbled out of bed; Pa’s going to the Abbey Have a crown put on his head Oh-oh yea, they’re gonna put it on his head. No one’s gonna crown me unless half my family drops dead. CHORUS: I’ve got the coronation blues It’s driving me insane. The coronation blues I want you all to feel my pain. Oh yes, I’ve got the coronation blues It’s no fun being ginger, It’s no fun being spare But like I tell my brother – At least I’ve got my hair! Oh-oh yeah I’ve got a lovely head of hair! Nobody calls me baldy; the royal heir is short of hair. My missus stayed at home; She isn’t here to sit by me. She’s made it pretty clear That she don’t like my family Oh-oh no, she doesn’t like my family. The smoke of burning bridges hangs around both her and me. CHORUS: That woman with the crown on, She shouldn’t be the Queen, My Mum’s the Queen – the Queen of Hearts! That’s how it should have been. Oh-oh yeah, that’s how it really should have been. Pa should have loved her better, didn’t have to treat her mean. I’m leaving in the morning, I’m leaving on a plane, I’m getting out of this old town And I won’t be back again. Oh-oh no, you’ll never see me back again. I’m staying in America to get away from this hard reign. CHORUS: I’ve got the coronation blues It’s driving me insane. The coronation blues I want you all to feel my pain. Oh no, nobody’s gonna crown me … I’ve got the coronation blues Here's Gayle's demo recording: click |
