The Royal Wedding of Kate Middleton and Prince William was a spectacular ceremony but perhaps one of the highlights of the occasion was the performance of The Anthem.
The Anthem, ‘This is the day which the Lord hath made’ was composed specially for the occasion by John Rutter.
Rutter is a much-loved British composer, conductor and arranger who specialises in choral music.
The moving chorus was commissioned by Westminster Abbey as a wedding present for Prince William and Kate, or the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge as they will now be known.
It was performed by the choir of Westminster Abbey and the Chapel Royal Choir and Kate and William smiled throughout.
The Anthem is now set to become one of the most requested songs at weddings going forward as couples try to emulate the magic of Kate and William’s big day.
