Victoria (ITV) Coronation [Zadok the Priest]

As much as I liked the Coronation music in Victoria, I prefer the historically accurate Zadok the Priest. I've edited out the Lady Flora scenes but unfortunately I couldn't use the whole 5 minutes of the song because the Coronation scenes are so short!
Hope you enjoy. Song: Zadok the Priest, composed by George Frideric Handel in 1727 for the Coronation of King George II.

[@BangkokVoiceCoach]

Magical. Nothing can beat Handel's Coronation Anthem at moments like this!

[@MarkVA71]

And glad it was played at Charles III anointing. I think everything was perfectly timed with the hand woven screens coming out when the song started and then departed at the end of the song with Charles on his knees before the High Altar.

I absolutely love this piece. The editing is just right for Handel's "Zadok the Priest." I had no intention of watching the series here in he USA but I just happened to catch the first minutes of the series where the two gentlemen come in and bow and address her as "your majesty," I was hooked. A very sheltered girl, a teenager, had just become the most powerful and richest woman on the planet. Thank you and Masterpiece Theater for adding to my understanding and appreciation of this period of British history.

Many people don’t realize that this is considered the traditional hymn the monarch leaves Westminster Abbey too after being crowned. It was used during Victoria’s crowning.

[@TheRealBoroNut]

I thought it was played during the anointing?

[@jeffm3045]

Incorrect. It's supposed to be played during the anointing, as it was for Charles III. For Elizabeth II, they played it before her anointing. Apparently it was a disaster when it was introduced at George I's coronation - and played completely at a different time in the service from whence it was supposed to be played. But Handel specifically composed this piece for the anointing. All one has to do to realize this is consider the simple lyrics: "Zadok the Priest and Nathan the Prophet Anointed Solomon King. And all the people rejoiced and said, "God Save the King. Long Live The King, May the King Live Forever. Alleluia, Amen!" As the monarch leaves the Abbey, it's traditional to play the two stanzas of the national anthem "God Save the King" after trumpet flourishes. Then after that, other music as needed for the monarch(s) to exit.

So many people told her she was too small and inexperienced....almost constantly reminding her about that. So I think metaphorically and actually this is a great scene.

[@gsketenchian]

If Hanover in Germany allowed women on the throne, Queen Victoria would have been Queen of both the United Kingdom and Hanover. Instead, Salic Law did not allow her to succeed to the thrones of both kingdoms. So, Victoria became the Queen of the United Kingdom, and her uncle, the Duke of Cumberland, Ernest Augustus (the fifth son of George III) became King of Hanover. If Salic Law had been changed, Victoria would have been named Queen of Hanover.

[@janefelix3821]

Not that it mattered too much as the Hanover Monarchy was abolished in 1871 with the creation of the German Empire governed by the Prussian Monarchy. Her oldest daughter married into that line, so her oldest grandchild was the famed Kaiser (Emperor) Wilhelm II.

You're so right to edit out the Lady Flora scenes as that particular incident didn't happen until about a year later. I was dismayed at the coronation scenes in this film, as you say, they are so short! The Queen would have walked down the isle to the theme of ' I Was Glad' probably in this case composed by Thomas Attwood. That said, he died shortly before Victoria's Coronation. I have found Attwood's composition for William the IV's coronation, but I'm not sure if the same version was used for Victoria's Coronation. I am putting a version into my Sibelius program so hope to come up with it later.

Actually, every English (British after 1707) Monarch from the coronation of William and Mary in 1689 until the coronation of King George V in 1911 used either the George I Crown, the George IV Crown, or the 1838 Imperial State Crown (which Queen Victoria and King-Emperor Edward VII, due to his slow recovery from acute appendicitis, was crowned with). The 1838 Imperial State Crown would be replaced with the current version in 1937. In all cases, it was due to the weight of the St. Edward's Crown: that crown weighs nearly 5 pounds, while the Imperial State Crown is half the weight (2.5 pounds).

They had a limited tv budget, while The Crown had a huge budget, in the scale of a film budget if not more. The Crown was great but I think they should have done it years after Queen Elizabeth passes away. How can they write for a character they know nothing about other than how she acts in public? At least with Victoria, it's been a whole century since she has passed away so we know a lot about her personality, there is her very detailed diary that explains her day to day life. I'm sure QEII has one but we won't have access to it until she passes away. Also, because V passed away over a century, you can be more honest about her life, flaws and all.
