Coronation: Charles Iii Asks For Motet And Song Suggestions

[Peter Pedant]

Well he didnt
He has enough motets, songs and recordings of plants to last a life time
Bocelli, JOhn etc ( yeah OK they are singers not songs)
BUT....
there is discussion about the song-list
Can ABers perhaps suggest a few - perhaps yet to be recorded

Fergie has been uninvited: why not Tracie Ullman or Cindi Lauper, A Girl just wants to have fun
Three degrees - I am colder than you
Ray Petersen - Tell Meghan I love her, tell her my love will never die....
oo yeah
as the Coronation Coach leaves for yet more blood letting a t the Palace,
Ride of the Valkyries ( used in Apocalypse Now)

perhaps Abers can suggest other, in a serious fashion

[Zacs-Master]

XTC King for a day.

King of theRoad as the coach leaves

In the context of the strikes, how about Anarchy for the UK by the Spots?

[MissTerious2]

Appropriate lyrics?


This heavy crown
To everyone who said I'd never make it
This heavy crown
Oh, Lord, weren't you mistaken
This heavy crown
To everyone who said I'd never make it
This heavy crown
Oh, Lord, weren't you mistaken
This heavy crown
To everyone who said I'd never make it
This heavy crown
I'm at the top laughin' at your faces
***, I got it now

9-5 by DOlly Parton - showing how hard a worker he is AND if he were Anglican ( god forbid - MH GenoitO !) how long the service would be

Dancing queen iatthe late night party after the event, when he gets drunk, dresses in drag and dances with Elton!

Perhaps he can have The Northern Lights Of Old Aberdeen played,so all we Aberdeen fans can sing along......But seriously,his mam is going to be a hard act to follow....all us Scots ABers are ardent monarchists,so no complaints here whatever songs he chooses.

[Peter Pedant]

Harry in drag with a hoover, singing
I want to be free !
One performance only

PP I've just come on line and seen this, but actually I would love to have a few suggestions about music.

I have, faut de mieux, become our church organist (since last year) on the basis of there being nobody else and I had piano lessons until 1963.

There is a 'Service Celebrating the Coronation' coming up on Sunday 7th May. No-one has given me any guidance as yet and I'm not very good so I have to practice a lot! Off my own bat I'm working on 'I vow to thee, my country' and 'Jerusalem' ( which is really, really hard and has lots of notes).

Any sensible suggestions will be very gratefully received. Thanks.
