Crown and Glory : Music Fit For A Coronation Day Celebration (2 CD Set)

Description

This brand-new double album in celebration of the much-anticipated coronation of King Charles III and the Queen Consort, Camilla. ‘Crown and Glory’ houses over two and a half hours  of British orchestral, instrumental, and choral music from across four centuries. Music enjoyed at coronations, jubilees and state occasions sits alongside evergreens of the Great British classical songbook heard throughout the year at annual national events such as the Last Night of the Proms. Melodies reflecting the close tie between the monarchy and the armed services also feature, as do select songs and tunes beloved by each country of the Union.
