Handel - Zadok the Priest (UEFA Champions League)

Handel - Zadok the Priest (UEFA Champions League)

Zadok the Priest (HWV 258) is a British anthem which was composed by George Frideric Handel for the coronation of King 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. One of Handel's best-known works, Zadok the Priest has been sung prior to the anointing of the sovereign at the coronation of every British monarch since its composition and has become recognised as a British patriotic anthem.
Tony Britten rearranged Zadok the Priest in 1992, using it as the basis for the UEFA Champions League Anthem, which is one of the best-known sports songs in the world.

Zadok the Priest (HWV 258) é um hino britânico que foi composto por George Frideric Handel para a coroação do Rei George II em 1727. Junto com o Rei Se Regozijará, Meu Coração Está Dando e Que Tua Mão Seja Fortalecida, Zadoque, o Sacerdote é um dos Hinos da Coroação de Handel. Uma das obras mais conhecidas de Handel, Zadok the Priest foi cantado antes da unção do soberano na coroação de todos os monarcas britânicos desde sua composição e tornou-se reconhecido como um hino patriótico britânico.
Tony Britten reorganizou Zadok the Priest em 1992, usando-o como base para o Hino da Liga dos Campeões da UEFA, uma das canções desportivas mais conhecidas do mundo.

"The UEFA Champions League anthem, officially titled simply as "Champions League", was written by Tony Britten, and is an adaptation of George Frideric Handel's 1727 anthem Zadok the Priest (one of his Coronation Anthems)." - Wikipedia

One time in the finals of the champions league the 2 best teams of it time went to the final for one hand constatinople and by the other hand venice FC the finals was so good it says that the final was one of the main things that made the Black Death extend trough europe

E Tony Britten criou, em 1992, o hino da Champions baseado no hino do Händel para anunciar um novo campeonato, que mudaria radicalmente (a começar pelo nome) e também para acalmar os ânimos do pessoal, já que o começo dos anos 90 foi bem tenso. Semana sim, semana também, sempre tinha alguma briga de torcidas.

Hab ich auch erst kürzlich geschnallt dass das tragende Element der CL-Hymne im Prinzip geklaut ist. Als King Kalle seine neue Mütze bekommen hat. Seit dem find ich sie nur noch halb so schön. Da hätte man auch gleich das Original nehmen können anstatt sich irgendwo zu bedienen.

[amparomolesmartinez]

It would have been much better If the original music of Händel to the Anthem of Champions League instead of Britten.
