The King Shall Rejoice

New release coming soon to Morton Music (email admin@mortonmusic.com for further details)

While looking for a suitable ‘royal’ anthem for a service to be attended by members of the Australian Monarchist League, Nigel Poole felt that his small church choir did not have sufficient resources to do justice to any of the well-known, grand coronation anthems. So he took the text of the anthem by William Boyce, which was sung at the coronation of King Charles, and wrote this new setting, suitable for a parish choir. It worked well, and will be useful to have in the repertoire for Easter Day (Christ as sovereign), the Easter Season (resurrection joy), Ascension Day (Christ as reigning Lord), the feast of Christ the King, and any future royal occasions.
