WITH LYRICS!

Coronation Anthem No. 1 by George Frideric Handel

Chapions League Theme Song

ARGUMENT:

Most versions have a rather fast Intro, but then have a slow and dragging(!!!) ''And all the PP rejoiced''. I don't like that, it should be the other way around. So. Here's the version I like. Oh yeah, and i have only one King: Christ the Sovereign Priest. And well yeah ''Hail Holy Queen''.

LYRICS

Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet

anointed Solomon king.

And all the people rejoic'd, rejoiced and said:

God save the king! Long live the king!

May the king live for ever!

Amen! Amen! Alleluia!

Zadok der Priester und Nathan der seher

erhöh'ten Salomos Thron.

Und alles Volk rings frohlockt, frohlocket und rief:

Gott sei dein Schild, Heil sei mit dir!

Heil dem König auf ewig!

Amen! Amen! Alleluia!

By the way to Gilbert Ratchet, there are grey areas between what is Catholic and Protestant, in Handel's day and since.  Lutherans, for instance, believe in some of the more (apparently) extraordinary aspects of the Catholic faith, such as the true presence of Christ in the Eucharist.  However, they have issues with the Roman Catholic, Aristotelian-based theology of transubstantiation.  Also, one can be a Protestant politically but a Catholic at heart eg. Anglican devotion to the Virgin Mary.  It's not a cut and dried affair :)

Love Handel but I only like the introduction of this piece, wonderful late Baroque harmony.  The choral part ( for me) feels strident and yeah not really for a wedding!

Não consigo ver semelhança dessa música com a adaptação do hino da Uefa Champions League.

Certainly not the best version and - in my opinion - mainly because of one reason: the choir MUST not start in such a rather STAGY but brutal way, or all the spirit of the anthem is immediately destroyed. But this is generally a "speciality" of almost all "anglo-saxon"-versions (that should know it much better because of their coronation rites...!). The choir should start like a big BELL, a bit gradually. This is "solved" much better in some "catholic, continental" versions. One good british exception: The Westminster Abbey Choir comes close(r) to that "bell"-characteristic. An EXTREME version - under this aspect - is the very sound-ecstatic example of the Pozega Cathedral Choir in Croatia, to be heard here on YouTube. Old fashioned perhaps (or certainly), mediterranean, very catholic...rather bad sound quality (echoes) but one seems to smell a lot of incense. ;-)
