HANDEL - ZADOK THE PRIEST (CORONATION ANTHEM) - PIPE ORGAN SOLO - JONATHAN SCOTT

[@docbarclay]

Handel was a bloody genius. Listen to his chords and weep. Brilliant!

[@Yaivenov]

He was inspired by the divine.

[@Dogsnark]

The organ was invented for hymns, and hymns played on a great organ are the height of music. Beautiful!

[@thomaswarren13]

This is without a shadow of doubt, the greatest piece of music ever written.

[@jeffreylefaucheur4445]

Added with Choir - Simply Heaven

Magnificent. I'm sure Handel would have approved, had he still been around.

If Charles doesn't ask Jonathan to perform this at his coronation, he doesn't deserve to be crowned

[@elizabethsmith1803]

It’s a pity we can’t go back and witness George II’s coronation when this was first performed. I wonder how much they argued over it?

[@g.k.failla9389]

When I heard this by the Chicago, USA " Music of the Baroque" chorus and orchestra led by British conductor Jane Glover, she set the historical scene and asked us to visualize it as we listened.

[@jarekwrzosek2048]

As If Charles' coronation will ever happen. Queen Elisabeth will outlive us all, I tell you!!!

[@sammydavis8722]

First time I've heard/seen this piece played on a pipe organ!

[@PoppaYeti]

Never heard this before today and I think the first 2 minutes may be literally the greatest piece of music I’ve ever had the pleasure of experiencing

[@epincion]

It’s great as a choral piece which is how it was written

[@Tampo-tiger]

Absolutely superb! One of my absolute favourites played exquisitely. A bafflingly beautiful piece of music written in 1727 for George II's Coronation, and played at every Coronation ever since.

[@sarahjacobsen9521]

It's such an amazing piece! I heard it for the first time when watching King Charles' coronation.

[@lenwilkinson672]

Memories of the Queens Coronation.Such music never leaves me,so uplifting.Where would the worid be without such beautiful music.

[@johnm2012]

I hope the King chooses it for his coronation too.

[@Londonfogey]

@@johnm2012 IIRC it has been used at every coronation since that of George II, so presumably it will be used at King Charles'.

[@lisaannpennington3958]

Even worse off than it is!

[@scottnyc6572]

I woke up the neighborhood after playing this.

[@jeannettefrangi2495]

Plays it on 1000000000000 Marshalls 😅😅😅😂😂😂

[@DennisLiewDennis]

i played this song when the UEFA Champions League Finals begins on my radio when i was was taking a walk, and it startled everyone at the park thinking the UCL Finals have begun 😮

[@alice1547]

The championsssssss

[@nc6379]

No way, I found this channel yesterday and I was sad I couldn't find Zadok the priest and they uploaded it today... The coincidence

[@SW18_103]

Thrilled to see people like Jonathan Scott learn this craft - well done for keeping our culture alive!

[@lenniegouws6071]

Listening to this on a Sunday morning in South Africa with partial lockdown and no in-person church services. This hits the spot. Manna to my soul.

[@zuluorganistxolani8726]

I'm also listening to it today in Durban, absolutely beautiful

[@si002]

Zadok The Priest is a good song, it's fantastic to hear this version with no words.

[@sergemarcoux1341]

Not only Jonathan displays his usual talent, but Tom's filming of this beautiful church is exceptional.

[@marlonsegura5201]

SPEECHLESS!!!

[@janetgoddard8087]

Fantastic. One of the finest anthems in my opinion ever written. Love the fabulous introduction.

Great Choice :)

[@kateclark7250]

It's 8 a.m. here in the eastern USA. Jonathan playing is a lovely way to start the day! And Happy Birthday Tom!

[@rabbit9979]

You should listen to Figaro Barbir of Sevilla

[@ditto1958]

The opening bars of this piece always say, “It’s morning again in Britain.”

[@mirozaninovich3014]

This was played at StMary's Sydney as my nephew and bride exited the church after the wedding ceremony, just a fabulous piece of superb talent....x

[@SirGawainDF]

This piece by G.F. Handel was rarely, perhaps never, played in Poland during my life, and now I realize how much I missed. The Coronation Anthem is ingenious! And Mr Jonathan Scott performed it at the highest level of mastership.

[@Joao-no8nq]

Ohhhhh wonderful, wonderful, wonderful 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏.

[@rjds1800]

Looks like this piece will be used in its traditional role as the coronation anthem after 70 years. The Queen is dead, long live the king. God Save The King.

[@gnomaki]

this song's gonna come in handy now

[@christiaanoosterveen8528]

Pure joy 🎉

[@psalmorah2369]

I'm on my knees at that pedal work at 4:53. 😭 😭 😭 😭 No words to describe this. Brilliant!

[@gtx1960]

We should never underestimate the skill required to play at this level

[@Mozartus-zc5vd]

Genius

[@TheREALJWMGaming]

"With tears swelling in his eyes and a powerful sense of pride, patriotism and joy filling his chest, he see's the crown being lowered onto the head of the next monarch, and to himself he says, "My king."

[@iwasglad122]

Phenomenal as always!!! Here's a bit of 'Zadok' trivia for any fans out there: At the 1937 Coronation of Their Majesties King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, the Coronation Choir and Orchestra were under the baton of Dr Ernest Bullock, Westminster Abbey Organist & Master of the Choristers, and Director of Music for the Coronation Service. The Abbey organ on that occasion (and later in 1953) was played by the Abbey Sub Organist Dr Osborne Peasgood. I don't know what happened, and I'm not about to speculate on the abilities of such a fine musician as Dr Peasgood, but I wonder if nerves got to him, because he played the last bar of the first section of Zadok (a loud, long A major chord) exactly one bar TOO EARLY which clashed catastrophically with what the choir and orchestra were singing and playing. He held the notes down until the everyone else caught up a bar later! If I'm not believed, listen to the live recording of the 1937 service. It's there for all to hear - and it's to be found on KZbin too!!!

[@karennoble1168]

One of the most beautiful, majestic immortal music pieces ever composed and brilliantly performed.thank you!

[@Tampo-tiger]

I wonder what Handel would have thought of his piece of Coronation perfection being played on a church organ and viewed by people at their leisure throughout the world? What an astonishing experience.

[@gmfamcdonald1465]

Have you noticed the sun came out and lit up the area surrounding Jonathan, as he brought this remarkable piece to its' conclusion? "God inhabits the praises of His people." Ps. 22:3.

Absolutely fabulous performance Jonathan. A wonderful piece. Thank you for sharing. Special thank you to Tom for escorting us round this wonderful church. I really must visit.

[@jeanmarie1982]

I love it! Always an all time favorite! Best performance on organ of this majestic piece ever! When I hear this or Mozart's Lacrimosa I wonder, if anyone ever tried to execute the beginning of Bach's Saint John's Passion "Herr, unser Herrscher" on classic pipe organ. It's full of dynamic changes, yes. But if anyone can handle this instrument, it's Jonathan Scott! Bravo Maestro!

[@margeryfeit8446]

Magnificent, Jonathan! This is one of my favorite pieces from across the pond. I saw QE II crowded on TV, and still remember how totally transfixed I was. "Zadok" still gives me chills. I think I need this arrangement. Thank you again and again, Jonathan and Tom.

My music teacher Jane Turvey needs a mention as she instilled love of Organ music in me for ever! God bless her.

[@rbarnes4076]

I played organ just a bit when I was a wee lad. Piano was my instrument since 8 years old (had to stop in my 50s because of arthritis). But from that early experience I fell in love with Organ music.

[@joannekelly6402]

Thank you so much to Jonathan and Tom for bringing to us, this wonderful music and filming. This is a fine rendering of an intricate and much-loved piece, where all the entries of the SATB lines can be clearly heard, which gives colour and texture. You have just made this soprano's day, as I'm singing it as I type!

I like Handel's music a lot because it is very beautiful harmonically! Excellent performance as always Jonathan and thanks Tom for filming this nice moment!!😘😘
