Andrew Nethsingha, who will serve as both organist and master of the choristers at the crowning ceremony, has told Sky News how the king had a 'twinkle in his eye' when discussing music choices for the historic event.
At a time of classical music funding cuts the coronation will serve as an important reminder about"how wonderful British music-making can be", according to Andrew Nethsingha who is overseeing the big day's musical arrangements.
"At times like this, it's good for us to be reminded that it can draw people together in such a powerful way." Whether you're indifferent about what's happening on 6 May, one of the great gifts coronations have brought us is a legacy of brilliant classical music written for royalty.
