A list of my favorite pieces relating either to monarchs or to men whom they patronized.
-
In Pace - Patrick Doyle - Hamlet — From the excellent Kenneth Branagh performance of Hamlet, a Latin rendition of a passage from the Book of Wisdom which we read in the Orthodox Church to commemorate the Royal Martyrs.
-
Non nobis, Domine - Patrick Doyle — From the excellent monarchist movie, Kenneth Branagh’s Henry V, a beautiful rendition of a traditional hymn that was used by kings to direct glory to God rather than themselves.
-
Judas Maccabaeus, HWV 63 - Father of Heaven. Handel— From Handel, my favorite composer, “Father of Heaven,” describing God on His Throne.
