Royal Wedding music




Still moved from watching the royal wedding it struck me how music created the atmosphere both in the beautiful meditative Hubert Parry and the rich and spiritual Paul Mealor . I thought the arrangement of Jerusalem was masterful , and nobody could fail to be stirred by the Walton "Crown Imperial" as the bride and groom left the Church.




Sadly the musicians were shown only briefly, and named simply as The London Chamber orchestra. Was this an orchestra especially fixed for today?. Who was the lucky fixer?




Again Music stirs the soul.
