CORONATION ANTHEM
Let Thy Hand Be Strengthened (HWV 259)
Composed between 9 September and 11 October 1727 for the coronation of George II, the text is from Psalm 89. There are three parts: an opening in G major - Let Thy Hand Be Strengthened, and thy right hand be exalted - a slower section in E minor - Let justice and judgment be the preparation of thy seat. Let justice, judgment, mercy, truth go before thy face - and a closing Alleluia in G major.
