Sunday Best: Soul Music: 1: Zadok

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

A six-part series exploring pieces of music known for their emotivity.

Zadok the Priest and Nathan the prophet were two of the lesser-known characters from the Old Testament until Handel went to work on them. This anthem written for the coronation of George II has become a favourite for choral societies and church choirs throughout the world.
