Programme Note
Coronation Sanctus by Roxanna Panufnik was commissioned on behalf of The King by the Dean and Chapter of Westminster for the Coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla on 6th May 2023. It is a 2-minute piece for double choir and organ described by Roxanna Panufnik as “festive and glittering”. The music quickly builds and finishes ecstatically, with organ fanfares and flamboyantly colourful harmonies.
