- Nota:
- On 11 October 1727 George II and his wife Caroline of Ansbach were crowned King and Queen of Great Britain and Ireland. The ceremony at Westminster Abbey was preceded by a magnificent procession. Handel was commissioned to write four coronation anthems. He uses text from the King James Bible. They are Zadok the Priest, Let Thy Hand Be Strengthened, The King Shall Rejoice (missing in this collection), and My Heart Is Inditing. Each was originally a separate work but they were later published together.
