What a magnificent work of art that screen is. It, like so many other "little" details, actually have an incredibly prominent part to play in the Ceremony itself. We are in for an awesome occasion, with ancient stones and thrones, gold plate dishes to decorate the high altar, newly refurbished crowns and gowns and a bewildering number of minute details and we are in for a visual feast.
But central to all of this pageantry, is the music, and I am beside myself with anticipation, dying to hear the swell of the organ, trumpets and magnificent music with soloists, full choirs and an orchestra. All of these varied styles will pace us through the ceremony from start to finish and, if there is anything we can count on it is that the music will move us in a way that just pictures can't.
Of all the music Charles has arranged for functions, none is more important than that of the Coronation as is sets the stage for his reighn.
