Coronation Music at Westminster Abbey

The Royal Family | Published 18 February 2023

Twelve newly commissioned pieces of music will be performed at The Coronation of Their Majesties The King and The Queen Consort at Westminster Abbey on Saturday 6 May 2023, showcasing musical talent from across the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth.

A range of musical styles and performers blend tradition, heritage and ceremony with new musical voices of today, reflecting The King’s life-long love and support of music and the arts.

His Majesty The King has personally commissioned the new music and shaped and selected the musical programme for the Service.

Andrew Nethsingha, Organist and Master of the Choristers, Westminster Abbey, will be overseeing all musical arrangements and directing the music during the Service.

Sir Antonio Pappano, Music Director for the Royal Opera House, will be conducting the Coronation Orchestra which comprises a bespoke collection of musicians drawn from orchestras of The former Prince of Wales’ Patronages including the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

Six orchestral commissions, five choral commissions and one organ commission, have been specially composed for the occasion by world-renowned British composers whose work includes Classical, Sacred, Film, Television and Musical Theatre. Commissioned works include a new Coronation Anthem by Andrew Lloyd Webber, a Coronation March by Patrick Doyle, a new commission for solo organ embracing musical themes from countries across the Commonwealth by Iain Farrington plus new works by Sarah Class, Nigel Hess, Paul Mealor, Tarik O'Regan, Roxanna Panufnik, Shirley J. Thompson, Judith Weir, Roderick Williams, and Debbie Wiseman.

Soloists will include bass-baritone, Sir Bryn Terfel; soprano, Pretty Yende and baritone, Roderick Williams. The organ will be played by Sub-Organist, Westminster Abbey, Peter Holder, and Assistant Organist, Westminster Abbey, Matthew Jorysz.

The official Royal Harpist��Alis Huws will perform as part of the Coronation Orchestra in recognition of The King’s long-standing and deeply held relationship and affiliation with Wales. One of the liturgical sections of the ceremony will also be performed in Welsh.

At the request of His Majesty, in tribute to his late father His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, Greek Orthodox music will also feature in the Service performed by the Byzantine Chant Ensemble.

The Service will be sung by The Choir of Westminster Abbey and The Choir of His Majesty’s Chapel Royal, St James’s Palace, together with girl choristers from the Chapel Choir of Methodist College, Belfast and from Truro Cathedral Choir. The Ascension Choir, a handpicked gospel choir will also perform as part of the Service and The King’s Scholars of Westminster School will proclaim the traditional ‘Vivat’ acclamations.

Fanfares will be played by The State Trumpeters of the Household Cavalry and The Fanfare Trumpeters of the Royal Air Force.

Sir John Eliot Gardiner will conduct The Monteverdi Choir and English Baroque soloists in a pre-Service programme of choral music. A small group of singers from The Monteverdi Choir will also join the main choral forces for the Service.

Music by the likes of William Byrd (1543–1623), George Frideric Handel (1685–1759), Sir Edward Elgar (1857–1934), Sir Henry Walford Davies (1869–1941), Sir William Walton (1902–1983), Sir Hubert Parry (1848–1918) and Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872–1958) has historically featured in the Service over the past four centuries and will be included in the programme along with the music of one of Britain’s most loved and celebrated living composers, Sir Karl Jenkins.

{Unofficial} Labyrinth Tarot- 5 The Hierophant

This card represents taking what you have learned and mastered and using that knowledge and skill to act as a teacher or mentor to others. It’s a card that represents honoring that ability to share knowledge and upholding traditions tried and true.

While he’s not offering any super innovative ideas, the Hierophant reminds you of knowledge that is still of use on your journey.

The Wiseman offers Sarah a little blanket wisdom for making her way through the labyrinth, as well as a little encouragement to keep her spirits up. He reminds her to not get into her head too much with the puzzle and instead to focus instead on the progress she’s already made. This is your reminder today as well: It may seem like we’re not getting anywhere, when in fact, we are!

Now please…leave a contribution in the little box!

A descendant of Eddie Thawne and Brianna Thawne’s first cousin, she is one of the most renowned quantum physicists of her era and one of only a few family members that Brianna feels she can talk too, partly because she was one of the few to accept that the Blue Flame was more magical in nature than meta powers traditionally are, and Zoe is one of the ones who defends Brianna after she stops Kate Allen changing time.

Fandom: Supergirl

Fic: to live and rise (and hope again)

Then Mal offered to marry her and take on the blame, which she accepted, and they spent seven happy years co-parenting before Mal left for war. She has always hated the Alliance, and this was solidified after she and her daughter ended up being one of only a handful of survivors from Shadow after the Alliance firebombed it - and though she never said so to her daughter she was convinced Mal was dead as well, killed in combat, and is relieved when it turns out he’s alive.

There are very few Firebirds left on the Continent, as they were often hunted for their blessings and then blamed for any misfortunes, which is why she made the choice to have a human form several decades before, and she rarely taps into her full power. Only very few people know what she truly is, but she makes the decision to tell Áine after it’s clear the Islander doesn’t hold the same prejudices, given her strong friendship with the witcher Eskel.

Name: Lia Mayfield

Fandom: Uncharted

Wip: joanna mayfield au

Appearance: Brunette, brown eyes, 5′7

A Canadian with a degree in history who lectures at universities, Lia dated Sam Drake for several months in 1992 and was very much in love with him, but also realised that he wasn’t one to stay around - figuring that he wouldn’t want to be tied down with a kid, so she made the decision to part amiably from him in September of that year, despite being three months pregnant. She was, however, determined to keep the child - she got kicked out by her parents as a result, but her sister Sonya helped her out and she moved in with her, her brother-in-law Nicky, and her niece Sophia. She was a devoted mother, and always planned to tell Joanna more about her father at some point, but that day came sooner than expected when she fell gravely ill in 1996 and she asked Sonya to track down Sam, not wanting Joanna to be without a parent. She recovered and became friends with Sam again, but was devastated to find out he was killed on a job, as she still loved him. Since then, she has focused on her family and tried her best to make sure Joanna gets a legitimate job, not wanting her to go down the same path as her father.

Labyrinth (1986) MBS

@itsgoghtime You're in this with me (If you'd like to be)

Roles to fill:

Sarah

Jareth

Hoggle

Ludo

Sir Didymus

Toby

The Worm

The Doorknockers

The Wiseman/The Hat

Assorted Fierys/Goblins

The main question is whether we want the focus to be the kids or the adults. Because while I can see the merit of it being a kind of team of four going to defeat an evil ruler, the driving force of the plot is a sibling relationship

[alpacahat67]

oh yeah i talked abt the twst and labyrinth overlap and met another labyrinth twst oc maker so im gonna talk about this

did you know that labyrinth is technically disney media as a result of their lucasfilms acquisition? so making, i don't know, an old wiseman twst oc is not out of the question and fits the theme of the universe ;)

now there might've been an animated series thrown around a bit at disney, i'm not sure. it's on the labyrinth wiki but there's not a single source and it also lists tara strong as the director? i don't know if she's ever directed a project but correct me if im wrong. there *is* a guy who has made some references of sarah and jareth and has a jareth turnaround on his artstation but i cant find any solid evidence he's ever worked with disney so im not sure if this stuff is lost media or never existed. just a passion project for an illustrator. probably never existed. idk i just needed to talk about that sorry.

Rights of Use Dream Cast

I got asked this morning about fan casting for Rights of Use, and I wanted to share.

Sarah Anderson, Maggie Rockefeller, Lauren - pick new actors. Give someone a break.

Speaker Andrew Rockefeller - Anson Mount (Pike on Strange New Worlds. Yes, I know it's lazy casting, but he'll do great. Right fatherly protective vibes.)

Senator Charles Stokley - Bernie Sanders but less frail -- Brent Spiner or Michael Dorn? I pictured someone wrinklier... Maybe Carmen Argenziano (while we're dreaming. See note on Cliff Simon.)

Colonel Renee Marshall - Amanda Tapping would be cool, though not at all who I had in mind.

Major Jo Patrick - (Aside from someone on the Cleveland Cocoction staff who would be perfect) Rebecca Romijin (Una on Strange New Worlds) (Tawny Newsome as back up choice, mostly because I'm having trouble giving her an Irish last name.)

Lt. Kyle Fairfeld - Anton Yelchin (Checkov in Star Trek 2009 - Dreaming here. See note on Cliff Simon.)

General Marshall/Kitchell - Richard Dean Anderson

Katorin/Setira - Mary Wiseman (Tilly on Discovery. Sure, she's way too young, so digitally age her up. It's fine. She's got the right energy. She's perfect.)

Cube Head - Jack Quaid (Boimler on Lower Decks/Strange New Worlds)

Benny-J - Eric Bana (Nero in Star Trek 2009)

Green Flame - Cliff Simon (Ba'al on Stargate SG-1--Look, none of this is happening, so there's no harm in picking amazing actors who died too young.)

Neith - younger Tilda Swinton, Emma Corrin (Cassandra in Deadpool and Wolverine)

Doppelganger and Serket - I'm really tempted to say Delia Rose Gooding, because she was such a fantastically menacing character in one of the altered-personality episodes of SNW, but this book is so white on the good guy side, I am not comfortable with POC actors for the bad guys who die in the end.

Amazing actors this book doesn't have roles for, but I'll keep in mind for future fan casts:

Tawny Newsome (Beckett Mariner on Lower Decks/Strange New Worlds)

Melissa Navia (Ortegas on Strange New Worlds)

Bodhrancomedy

Bonnie Gorton (computer in Prodigy/filk singer)

Noel Wells (Tendi on Lower Decks)(Actually, she might make a nice Sarah, though I didn't show Sarah quite this excitable.)

Delia Rose Gooding (Uhura on Strange New Worlds - what a phenomenal actor!)

Jordan Ifueko (Okay, this is the author of the amazing fantasy book Raybearer, and I've seen her reels as her characters. You can't tell me she wouldn't be an incredible actress...if she had the time for it.)

Sonequa Martin-Green (Michael Burnham on Discovery)

Babs Olusanmokun (Dr. M'Benga on Strange New Worlds)

Carol Kane (Pelia on Strange New Worlds) (Yes, I'm just going down the cast list and picking actors/characters I didn't get enough of.

Gia Sandhu (T'Pring on Strange New Worlds)

Gary Jones (Walter Harriman in SG-1)

Claudia Black (Vala Mal Doran in SG-1. Look, I've got a lot of women to staff in this series.)

Reading List, Where The Give Is edition.

"I'm not telling you to make the world better ... I'm just telling you to live in it. Not just to endure it, not just to suffer it, not just to pass through it, but to live in it." [Joan Didion]

[Image: Irving Penn: Rose - Blue Moon, 1970]

*

"I found myself just staring at it for 10 minutes at a time, watching these machines figure each other out. It was like watching a fish tank." San Francisco's nocturnal driverless taxi ballet [Charlie Warzel, The Atlantic]

Should you give up a bit more often? [Joshua Rothman, The New Yorker]

"It’s a TikTok world, creative and sprawling and strange and anarchic and tedious and gross and you can’t stop scrolling and you can’t stop looking and you just want more. So what’s the problem?" [Roxane Gay, Bitter Southerner]

"My brain craves flashy, ten-second clips one after the other after the other. I used to waste my time by watching 20-minute YouTube videos – it’s horrifying and laughable that these now seem like the distinguished, intellectual choice to me, akin to settling down with a book." My addiction to vertical video [Amelia Tait, New Statesman]

Nothing on TV felt like "My so-called life" - still doesn't. An interview with show creator Winnie Holzman [Vulture]

"Life without alcohol felt pale and slight at first, until it became Technicolor and overwhelming. Even the most casual interactions turned fraught with anxiety without any substance to numb my nerves, my need to please, my overthinking mind. I stuttered with stress buying toothpaste at CVS (what kind?), getting my hair cut (what style?), just imagining the doctor’s office (no way). So the concept of going out with a man was like cannonballing into the deep end when you haven’t even learned to doggy-paddle." Sex, now sober [Sarah Hepola, The Cut]

Gone commando [Molly Rosen, The Cut]

Getting divorce-y [Moya Sarner, The Guardian]

"I just want a dumb job" - on when you realise that everything you thought you wanted in a career is actually a mirage. [Charlotte Cowles, The Cut]

Fear as a Game [Elisa Gabbert, The Believer]

My real life as an alcoholic, played big on screen - Amy Liptrot on the film version of her incredible autobiography "The Outrun" [The Guardian]

"Communications has eclipsed creativity as the central skill of modern work." White-Collar Work Is Just Meetings Now [Derek Thompson, The Atlantic]

The elite college students who don't know how to read an entire book [Rose Horowitch, The Atlantic]

The British lingo that made its way into the US - a fascinating exploration by Ben Yagoda [The Guardian]

Rosa Luxembourg found freedom by pressing flowers in prison Flowers for Rosa [Jenny Odell, Lux]

How to clear mental blocks - actually good advice [Katherine May]

They say turning 44 brings ‘dramatic change’. I can’t wait [Eva Wiseman, The Guardian]

"You already know what The Lion & The Unicorn is like; you have always known, on an instinctual level, the way Plato reckoned we were born with the sum total of knowledge and just forgot it all." There's a new Wetherspoons at Waterloo Station [Steve Dinneen, CityAM]
