Anthem by Andrew Lloyd Webber one of 12 new pieces of music for coronation

An anthem composed by songwriting legend Andrew Lloyd Webber will be one of 12 new pieces created for the King's coronation later this year, it has been revealed.

King Charles has personally curated a programme of music to accompany the historic day, which has been designed to showcase a range of musical talent and styles from the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth.

His coronation is set to take place on May 6 at Westminster Abbey, and is also expected to showcase Greek Orthodox music in tribute to his late father, the Duke of Edinburgh, who died in 2021.
