[Magdalen] Coronation Anthem.

[Cantor03 at aol.com]

There is a current USA TV ad that utilizes (oddly) a portion
of the Handel Coronation Anthem, "Zodak the Priest," completely
out of context.
 
However it did cause me to look on You Tube performances of these
Anthems to refresh my memory of them.
 
I had forgotten the wonderful, super festive "Halleluia" at the  conclusion
of the "King Shall Rejoice."  It seems that this might work very well  all
by itself as does the "Alleluia" from the Mozart "Exsultate  Jubilate".
It was written to accompany the exact moment of coronation.
 
How'd you like an Easter Liturgy with this as its conclusion?
(Halleluia starts at 8:20)
