100 Years of British Coronations / Instruments of Time and Truth

Instruments of Time and Truth musicians standing in front of the Sheldonian

 A dazzling pageant of ceremonial music premiered in London: from Purcell’s ‘My Heart is Inditing’ to Handel’s blazing ‘Zadok', taking in lesser-known gems from Jeremiah Clarke, Henry Cooke, John Blow and William Boyce’s glorious ‘The King Shall Rejoice’, gleaming with trumpets. These were the resplendent choral works that accompanied the crowning of Kings and Queens, from the Restoration of Charles II to the coronation of George III.

Instruments of Time and Truth are Oxford’s very own Baroque orchestra, directed by renowned conductor Edward Higginbottom.
