SYNOPSIS

The Coronation of King Charles III at Westminster Abbey in May 2023 began with the Anthem I WAS GLAD, a choral setting of Psalm 122, originally composed for the crowning of Edward VIII in 1902. The composer was Hubert Parry, best known for this Anthem and the song JERUSALEM.

Familiar with Parry tunes since his childhood, the composer has become one of King Charles´ favourite musicians. Some years before he became King, Charles presented a documentary film about Parry exploring his life and music and letting us discover beautiful songs, chamber music and symphonies.
