The Guardian asked me to write something about my Coronation Experience:

Coronation composer Iain Farrington on making music fit for a king – and what the cameras didn’t show theguardian.com/music/2023/m…

Coronation composer Iain Farrington on making music fit for a king – and what the cameras didn’t...

One of 12 coronation composers, Farrington’s brief was to reflect the music of the Commonwealth. On the organ. In five minutes. He tells us about a day of the sublime and the ridiculous

Not a lot of people know this, but all the music for English coronations is written in the key that corresponds to the first name of the monarch. So Charles III's service will be entirely in C major, Elizabeth II's was in E major, George V's was in G major etc etc

Hmm...I may get turned back at Heathrow for this, but it had to be said. Proud to join over 700 other composers in this infuriating protest.

Like everyone, we're shocked and sad to hear the news about the @BBCSingers. Just last week, they were recognised as one of the UK's leading ensembles at the #RPSAwards for ' setting new standards in choral music, refreshing their scope through exciting partnerships... 1/3

Sure, when God shows strength with his arm and scatters the proud he's a "Saviour", but when I do it I'm "making a scene" and "not welcome in this establishment again".
