Coronation of King George II in 1727
by G. F. Handel
Adopted & Edited by Andrew J. Thomas
This is one of Handel's most well-known and loved choral works. Here, Andre Thomas provides a practical modern edition making the piece more useable for choirs and audiences. The long introduction has been shortened and the keyboard part is a reduction of the orchestration (not a continuo part). This edition can be performed with piano, two oboes and bassoon. This is a great festival piece for high school voices. Difficulty Level: Medium Adult.
