that has more than one movement...

by **Catmando** » Tue Jul 25, 2006 6:49 pm

Yup, I screwed up.

Allmusic shades out the "movements/parts" section, making it appear as if there'd be only 1 movement.

But, upon further review, towards the end of the write-up, it says it contains 7 movements. :oops:

Is it a single movement highlight from a larger, multi-movement work?
(You probably wouldn't be that sneaky)

shos, if you're thinking of what I'm thinking, it isn't that sneaky, since HWV numbers...

It is in one movement, but is not a highlight from a multi-movement work
It has some kind of voice
It is a sacred work (text taken from Sacred Book), but is not a hymn, mass, cantata, or an oratario
The text is in Englisjh
It is dedicated to Royalty, but is neither an ode nor was it written in honoUr of a wedding

Is it one of the four anthems composed for the coronation of George II?

by **Catmando** » Wed Jul 26, 2006 9:34 am

What the heck.....since I have another life due to *ignaf saving my hide, if you allow me to take another guess:

Is it Zadok the priest, coronation anthem no. 1 for chorus and orchestra, HWV 258?

Yes, Sir, you are absolutely correct!

Congratulations. You can now proceed with the next game and make us pull our hair out.

Well, I have to thank *ig on this one.

I may have to wait 'till I get home before starting # 24. I need to do a little more research on my selection. I actually had it in mind early last week, I was just waiting to have a chance at another 30Q. It seems forever since I did my last one. :shock:

by **Catmando** » Wed Jul 26, 2006 9:49 am

By the way, good selection Nav.

It was difficult for me to get a handle on this one, pardon the pun! :lol:

Missed it by > < That Much!

My own fault for doing work instead of paying attention to important games. :evil:

Believe it or not, I was thinking Zadok the Priest. However, I copied a wonderful record, Handel's Greatest Choruses (Ormandy, Phila, Mormon Tab. Ch.), most of which came from larger works. Consequently, I thought Zadok did, too.

I believe the work has been employed at all British coronations since it was composed. Definitely a winner.

I was wondering how to answer the question of Handel's nationality. But thankfully Ray asked the perfect question. Zadok the Priest was written in 1727, while Handel had become a British subject, earning £ 200 a year, a year earlier.

nice one. I was going to ask about coronation after the wedding question, but I did enough of these...
