Decca Classics has released the official album of The Coronation of Their Majesties King Charles III & Queen Camilla. The album produced by Anna Barry features all the music from the historic ceremony recorded this past Saturday, May 6, at Westminster Abbey, including the newly composed pieces of music (six orchestral commissions, five choral commissions and one organ commission). Among the the commissions are pieces by film/TV composers Patrick Doyle (Sense and Sensibility, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Cinderella, Henry V), Debbie Wiseman (Wilde, Wolf Hall, Vampire Killers, Adventures of Arsene Lupin) and Nigel Hess (Maigret, Ladies in Lavender). Andrew Lloyd Webber (The Phantom of the Opera, Cats) contributed the Coronation Anthem, entitled Make A Joyful Noise, played by the Fanfare Trumpeters of the Royal Air Force and chorus sung by The Choir of Westminster Abbey, accompanied by the Coronation Orchestra. The album is now available to stream/download on all major digital music services, including Amazon. A physical version will be released later this month.
