  • Westminster Abbey ASERVICE to CELEBRATE the 60TH ANNIVERSARY of the CORONATION of HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II
    Westminster Abbey ASERVICE TO CELEBRATE THE 60TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE CORONATION OF HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II Tuesday 4th June 2013 at 11.00 am FOREWORD On 2nd June 1953, the Coronation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II followed a pattern established over the centuries since William the Conqueror was crowned in Westminster Abbey on Christmas Day 1066. Our intention in this Service of Thanksgiving is to evoke and reflect the shape of the Coronation service itself. The Queen’s entrance was marked by the Choirs’ singing Psalm 122—I was glad—set to music for the Coronation of EdwardVII by Sir Hubert Parry. The Queen’s Scholars of Westminster School exercised their historic right to exclaim Vivat Regina Elizabetha! (‘Long live Queen Elizabeth!’); so it will be today. The coronation service begins with the Recognition. The content of this part of the service is, of course, not today what it was in 1953, but the intention is similar: to recognise with thanksgiving the dutiful service offered over the past sixty years by our gracious and noble Queen, and to continue to pray God saveThe Queen. The Anointing is an act of consecration, a setting apart for royal and priestly service, through the gift of the Holy Spirit. The Ampulla from which the oil was poured rests today on the HighAltar as a reminder of that central act. St Edward’s Crown also rests today on the High Altar as a powerful symbol of the moment of Coronation. In today’s Service, a flask of Oil is carried by representatives of the people of the United Kingdom to the Sacrarium, received by theArchbishop and placed by the Dean on the High Altar.

Petter The Very Thought of You Noble arr. Ayres Blessed City, Heavenly Salem Edward Bairstow (1874-1946) Sir Edward Cuthbert Bairstow was an English organist and composer in the Anglican Church music tradition. Born in Huddersfield, he studied the organ and went on to receive his Music Doctorate at Durham University in 1901. Bairstow held posts in London, Wigan and Leeds before being appointed organist at York Minster in 1913 where he served until his death. A composer of both instrumental and choral pieces, miniature and large-scale, Bairstow’s output includes twelve published organ works and chamber music. He is however best known for his sacred choral works. Bairstow was an admirer of Brahms and also of the polyphony of earlier English composers and these influences may be heard in the five, musically contrasting verses of Blessed City, Heavenly Salem. The melodic material of this anthem is based on plainsong, but is sung to an elaborate organ accompaniment. There is a remarkable instrumental interlude between the fourth and fifth verses in which the organ extends the triumphant feel of the fourth verse, and then gradually subsides into the mood of peace in the final phrases.
