 The Coronation of Charles 111 and Camilla




Yes I watched the Coronation on TV today....I wanted to hear all the music. The conductor of the Coronation Orchestra was Sir Antonio Pappano and he was amazing to watch. 


The orchestra played beautifully before the ceremony began...some wonderful Bach.


Pretty Yende, wearing a spectacular yellow dress, performed a new piece by the British composer Sarah Class. Pretty is a South African opera singer.


I loved all the choral music performed by three combined choirs. It was the first time in history, girl choristers sang alongside the boy choristers of Westminster Abbey.


The Ascension Choir sang  a newly composed "Alleluia"...they were fantastic.


I thought I'd pop in a photo of Charles 111...
