Music

Let’s look at Mrs Hedges’ Music of the Week!

Music of the Kings and Queens 

"I was glad"  is traditionally sung in a Christian church as an anthem if a British Monarch has a Coronation (when they are officially crowned King or Queen). It has been set to music by different composers. This one is by Hubert Parry (1902) for King Edward VII – it was also sung at the wedding for William and Kate. 

I was glad – Hubert Parry

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52NTjasbmgw (this one is Queen Elizabeth’s coronation – harder to hear as the commentator talks over it… need to watch from 22.40 mins for the anthem) 

Have a good week!
