Included on The Official Coronation album will be 12 newly composed pieces of music by artists from across the UK and Commonwealth. These commissions will be made up of six orchestral, five choral and one organ piece.
Classical record producer Anna Barry is helming the Official Coronation Album following her work on the wedding recordings of the current Prince and Princess of Wales in 2011 and The Duke and Duchess of Sussex in 2018.
The multi-Grammy nominated producer said of the upcoming Coronation recording: “This will be a truly historic recording, capturing a glorious range of music from across centuries and continents, reflecting the worldwide interest in our traditions, covering multiple locations in the wonderful acoustic of Westminster Abbey, and involving an unprecedented technical plan to present the entire experience to the world on the day itself. Balance engineer Mike Hatch, I and the team are honoured and excited to be a part of this.”
