The Coronation Anthem In celebration of the King's Coronation

SHAKESPEARE'S EXQUISITELY REGAL LYRICS AND LEO KING'S SUBLIME MUSIC - PERFECT FOR THE KING'S CORONATION

 LONDON, May 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Over four hundred years ago, William Shakespeare wrote the perfect words for the 2023 Coronation Celebration of HM King Charles III.  They lay buried in Shakespeare's play King John, Act III, Scene 1, until composer Leo King discovered them and was inspired to set them to music:

What hath this day deserv'd ? what hath it done That it in golden letters should be set Among the high tides in the calendar ?

This extraordinarily smooth, richly-textured and harmonious composition, with dynamic and exciting orchestration by Dr Peter Macdonald, Director of the acclaimed Cantamus Choir and Orchestra of London, is now available to enjoy, free of charge, at a new website:

Leo King says

"I picked up Shakespeare's Collected Works.  It fell open at King John, and the words 'golden letters... set among the high tides in the calendar' leapt out at me.  It was a magically inspirational moment.  Right away, a naturally climbing, tumescent musical figure came to me to fit the words precisely, readily delivering a regally festive motif"

Wit, raconteur and National Treasure Gyles Brandreth comments

"This Coronation Anthem is a glorious musical memento of the Coronation Celebrations of HM King Charles III.  Leo King has superbly married the immortal words of William Shakespeare with serene choral harmonies, in a stunning and exciting orchestral setting.  Timeless, tuneful, textured – it's just tremendous!".
