A Coronation Anthem: In Conversation with Andrew Lloyd Webber

Andrew Lloyd Webber discusses what an honour it is to have been asked to write a Coronation Anthem for His Majesty King Charles III. Tune in as Andrew explains how he went about, what it was like recording at Abbey Road Studios with the Fanfare Trumpeters of the Royal Air Force, The Choir of Westminster Abbey, The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and more.

The music composition by Lloyd Webber for the coronation of Charles 3 is nothing short of enchanting. The choir is ethereal and transports the audience to another realm. The brass section is simply magical, as it adds a grandeur and a powerful punch to the proceedings. The combination of both elements is a feast for the ears and leaves one feeling swept away. Lloyd Webber's music has truly set the perfect tone for this momentous occasion.

One of the things I admire about you, Lord Andrew, is how good you are with young people. Always willing to take the time to talk to them and mentor them about their dreams, and share your own experiences.

what an experience for the choir to meet one of the musical greats in Lord Lloyd Webber.

This is an incredibly grand symphony for Her Majesty's coronation, one that makes me feel as though my soul has soared to the heaven. When I first discovered that it was a work by Weber, I was utterly amazed—until then, I had only known him for his musicals. Thank you, Lord Andrew. God save the King.

Just heard the tune live on telly. What a piece of musical tune I must say

[constancewhite]

A huge thank you to Lloyd Webber and all the musicians for Make a Joyful Noise - the coronation music was wondrous. I too believe that the positive can outweigh the negative in the world these days. Definitely more than 1% positive was added I think.

Trying to figure out which studio they used. He mentions Abbey Road but that room is too small to be Studio 1 and it doesn’t look like Studio 2.
