The Coronation probably seems a long time ago now, but I hope you and your students were able to enjoy this rare event and celebrated the ‘new chapter’ in whatever way seemed best. Music, of course, forms a huge part of our national events – as has been pointed out on more than one occasion – and if the choice of music wasn’t always to your liking (is it ever always?), you couldn’t help but appreciate the drive for wider participation, diversity, and to represent the UK and Commonwealth of the present day. ‘Bravo!’ to the Ascension Choir and Lucy Illingworth, and to the Pink Singers, Oasis One World Choir, deaf signing choirs and the other dozen ensembles that made up the Coronation Chorus. You don’t have to be a royalist to recognise the benefits of bringing the country together once in a while, particularly when good news is in short supply, and if the singing didn’t bring a smile, there was always cake.
