Like the ceremony, the program of music relied heavily on the traditional with a felicitous overlay of the modern. There was everything from Handel to favorite hymns of Charles (Christ Is Made the Sure Foundation) and of Diana (I Vow to Thee, My Country) to a lilting yet regal new anthem by Welsh Composer William Mathias, 46. The ceremony ended with God Save the Queen, newly arranged by Sir David Willcocks, director of the Royal College of Music, who worked the oceanic swell of that great melody into a kind of coda of moral grandeur.
