It is good that this anthem has been off-printed from the Oxford Choral Classics: Sacred Choruses volume: it is a popular piece and choir conductors should certainly be aware of this edition. For many, its attraction will be the new three-stave organ accompaniment (OCC Sacred Choruses has a piano accompaniment) that is much easier to use than adapting any piano reduction. But this publication also starts with a useful discussion of the various versions of the piece made for each coronation: written for 1902, revised by Parry for 1911, revised by others for 1937 and 1953. Rutter argues that 1911 is much preferable and bases his edition on that. For those who feel they cannot sing the Vivats except at a coronation, Rutter provides an alternative 'general-purpose' text so that the anthem does not need to be deprived of what he calls 'a truly thrilling moment of musical splendour
