Zadok the Priest Solo Organ Arrangement (Sheet Music)

Today is 4^th May 2023 – two days before the Coronation of King Charles III in Westminster Abbey on Saturday 6^th May 2023.  I wanted to find an organ solo arrangement of this piece (which is synonymous with the Coronation of the British Monarch) but couldn’t find one which matched my own personal requirements.  Queue an idea for a new arrangement!

In arranging the 1^st of the 4 Coronation Anthems, Zadok the Priest, I have tried to strike an agreeable balance between the orchestra and choir.  The orchestra doesn’t merely duplicate the choral writing but is often quite independent.  Including everything would be impractical and in my view wasteful.

I have recorded this arrangement and is readily available on BIS on YouTube (see below).  Please use this performance for registration ideas if you need.

Much love and dedication has gone into this transcription, and I hope that you are able to seek as much enjoyment from playing it as I did from creating it.

Long live the King!
