ESSENTIAL HANDEL
Hyperion KING6 - £5.00

Welcome as the dawn of day
The trumpet's loud clangour
Un puro ardour : Zadok the Priest
Yet, can I hear that dulcet lay
Allegro from The Water Music
As steals the morn upon the night
La Réjouissance : In Jehovah's awful sight
See the conqu'ring hero
Eternal source of light divine

Or let the merry bells ring round
Solemn March : Hark, hark he strikes
To God, our strength, sing loud and clear
Oh liberty : Let the bright seraphim
Kings shall be thy nursing fathers
