'Zadok the Priest' was a coronation anthem composed for which British monarch?

'Zadok the Priest' is a British anthem which was composed by George Frideric Handel for the coronation of King George II in 1727. Alongside 'The King Shall Rejoice', 'My Heart is Inditing' and 'Let thy Hand be Strengthened', 'Zadok the Priest' is one of Handel's Coronation Anthems. One of Handel's best-known works, Zadok the Priest has been sung prior to the anointing of the sovereign at the coronation of every British monarch since its composition and has become recognised as a British patriotic anthem.

Sung by four singers. Part of the traditional content of British coronations, the texts for all four anthems were picked by Handel, a personal selection from the most accessible account of an earlier coronation, that of James II in 1685.
