Zadok the Priest (Champions League Anthem) Plays as King Charles Anointed

The King is anointed with holy oil away from public view during his coronation.

The Champions League anthem aka Zadok the Priest plays during the ceremony.

Six soldiers from the British Army's Household Division bear the Anointing Screen to cover and protect the King while sacred oils were applied by the Archbishop of Canterbury.

Hearing 'Zadok the Priest' performed while a King is actually being anointed is mind blowing. The epic majesty of Handel's masterpiece shines on us like a light through the ages.

Georg Friedrich Händel, who composed this theme in 1727, would be wondering why you call this the Champions League Anthem

Adopted by the Champs League.. Zadok the Priest is a British anthem that was composed by George Frideric Handel for the coronation of George II in 1727. Alongside The King Shall Rejoice, My Heart is Inditing, and Let Thy Hand Be Strengthened, Zadok the Priest is one of Handel's coronation anthems. 😁

"Die meister! Die besten! Les grandes equipes! The champions!"

The UEFA Champions League Anthem was composed by Tony Britten in 1991 using Handel’s Zadok the Priest as the basis. So that’s why it sounds so familiar 🥳

[rogerrousco]

This song is so iconic, the champions league patterned their own song after it, and that has also become iconic for its beautiful musical resonances.
What a history this is.

[maxrebo]

This moment was electrifying. Very well done indeed.

Playing “Zadok the Priest anointed Solomon” really raises the King of England to a divine pedestal in a moment. 🤴🏻🇬🇧

Zadok the Priest was composed by British composer Handel for the Coronation of George II in 1727. It's been played at every Coronation since. At Elizabeth II's Coronation it was played in pieces, whereas today it was sung in one.
