Zadok the Priest, the first of G. F. Handel's four Coronation Anthems, has been a cherished part of British coronation services from George II in 1727 to the current sovereign, Charles III. It is a magnificently resplendent work that embodies the essence of British pride and spirit. This terrific arrangement for string orchestra and piano by Douglas E. Wagner encapsulates the majesty of the original. This arrangement is also part of a larger festival setting with optional brass, timpani, and choir. Also available for S.A.T.B. (50210), S.A.B. (50211), S.S.A. (50212) with optional SoundTrax (50213) and SoundPax. (3:10)
