Description
Presented by renowned historian David Starkey, this epic new BBC series reveals how British Kings and Queens shaped the story of the nation's music: as patrons and tastemakers, and even as composers and performers.
It uncovers the role of the crown in the careers of our greatest composers - from Purcell and Handel to Parry and Elgar; and features exclusive performances of the nation's favourite music, in the historic locations where the monarchy first enjoyed it - from Westminster Abbey and King's College Cambridge to Buckingham Palace. This is the music of ceremony, pageantry, and power; music composed for coronations and jubilees, thanksgiving and political expediency.
Special Features:
- Land of Hope and Glory
- Additional Musical Performances
- Extended Music
