Master of the Queen’s Music, Judith Weir, has been commissioned by St Paul’s Cathedral in London to write a piece for SATB choir and organ in celebration of HM The Queen’s 90th birthday in 2016. The piece is now available from Chester Music, so that choirs all over the world can join in with the festivities. Churches and other local organisations are planning events on Sunday 12 June and many may want to include this approachable setting of Robert Bridges’ poem.
St Paul’s Cathedral Choir directed by Andrew Carwood will perform I love all beauteous things as part of the National Service of Thanksgiving for HM The Queen’s birthday which will take place on June 10 at 11am, in the presence of HM The Queen and HRH The Duke of Edinburgh. At the service the Archbishop of Canterbury will give the address and the Prime Minister will read a lesson. The event will be televised live on BBC1.
