THE CROWN -Samedi 25 novembre 2023, 19h00.DISTRIBUTION : Chœur de l’Opéra RoyalOrchestre de l’Opéra RoyalSous le haut patronage de Aline Foriel-DestezetGaétan Jarry DirectionPROGRAMMEHenry Purcell (1659-1695)My Heart Is Inditing, Z. 30I Was Glad, Z. 19Georg Friedrich Haendel (1685-1759)Let Thy Hand Be Strengthened, HWV 259Zadok The Priest, HWV 258The King Shall Rejoice, HWV 260My Heart Is Inditing, HWV 261Salomon : HWV 67 – Acte III « Praise the Lord »À l’occasion du Couronnement du Roi Charles III, voici réunies les plus célèbres musiques des Couronnements de Jacques II en 1685 et George II en 1727. Les chefs-d’œuvre de Purcell et Haendel déploient une puissance évocatrice extraordinaire qui sied à merveille au chœur et à l’Orchestre de l’Opéra Royal dirigé par Gaétan Jarry. Parmi les cérémonies marquantes des monarchies européennes à l’époque prérévolutionnaire, le Sacre était évidemment la plus symbolique et la plus fastueuse, suivie en intensité musicale par le mariage royal ou les funérailles. C’est pour la monarchie anglaise que la musique se trouve la mieux conservée depuis le milieu du XVIIe siècle : on y trouve la plus somptueuse musique d’apparat du répertoire sacré anglican. Ce Grand Style marquait fastueusement le Cérémonial de la Couronne d’Angleterre : roulements de tambours et glorieuses fanfares de trompettes annoncent les acclamations de Westminster. God Save the King !

The Crown Biography
The Crown was a death/thrash metal band formed in Trollhättan, Sweden in 1998 (after being forced to change their name from Crown of Thorns).
Their music and lyrics were inspired by death, anti-religion themes (mostly targeting Christianity) and rebellion. They were known to fuse death metal with thrash influences.
The Crown disbanded in 2004. After that, Lindstrand went on to form One Man Army and the Undead Quartet. Tervonen and Saarenpää formed Angel Blake, named after a song by Danzig.
Despite having broken up they made one last release as a tribute to their fans. A triple DVD set containing live shows, and bootlegs.
