King consort - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Accordingly, the husband of the reigning female monarch became monarch, and from this the denotation "King Consort" is a consequence. King consort is a title given in some monarchies to the husband of a Queen regnant. In some cases, the king thus ascended, remained king even after the death of the wife, and in some cases left the kingdom to their own heirs who were not issue of the wife in question (cf Władysław II Jagiełło of Poland, ascended as husband of Queen Jadwiga). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/King-consort   (538 words)

Prince consort - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A prince consort, generally speaking, is the husband of a Queen regnant, unless he himself is a king. It is also not fully clear what would happen to the prince consort's title in the event that he were to outlive his wife, as this seems to have rarely occurred in the recorded annals of monarchy. Current examples include the Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh (husband of Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom), and Prince Henrik of Denmark (husband of Queen Margrethe II of Denmark). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Prince_consort   (286 words)

Amazon.com: Vivaldi: Sacred Music, Vol. 7: Music: Antonio Vivaldi,Robert King,King's Consort,Carolyn Sampson,Susan Gritton,Charles Daniels As ever with King's Consort recordings, the singers marginally outshine the instrumentalists, but this is still one of the most rewarding discs in this splendid series to date. King and Pickett, I think, see RV588 as a gentler work than its D major cousin, RV589, although I can't see that this is inherent in the music.Of the other pieces on the disc, the most substantial one is the virtuoso 23-minute Laudate pueri for soprano and orchestra. Like Pickett, Robert King prefaces the Gloria proper with the non-liturgical solo motet, Jubilate, O amoeni chori (Vivaldi noted in the autograph, now in Turin, how the work was to be performed either with or without this introduzione, which leads directly into the first movement of the Gloria). www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00005N8E7?v=glance   (837 words)

Britannia: Monarchs of Britain The king moved away from the medieval idea of ruler as chief lawmaker and overseer of civil behavior, to the modern idea of ruler as the ideological icon of the state. The early part of Henry's reign, however, saw the young king invade France, defeat Scottish forces at the Battle of Foldden Field (in which James IV of Scotland was slain), and write a treatise denouncing Martin Luther's Reformist ideals, for which the pope awarded Henry the title "Defender of the Faith". Reformist factions won the king's confidence and vastly benefiting from Henry's dissolution of the monasteries, as monastic lands and revenues went either to the crown or the nobility. www.britannia.com /history/monarchs/mon41.html   (938 words)

BBC - Classical Review - The Coronation of King George II, King's Consort/Robert King By all contemporary accounts, the coronation of King George II and his Queen was a right royal mess of musical confusion with the wrong anthems being performed in the wrong places and sometimes not at all. King opts for slower tempos than expected, illuminating every stately arpeggio in the opening instrumental prelude until the explosive entry of the voices. Despite the 'historically uninformed' use of female voices, King's forces are in fine fettle in music of peerless pomp and circumstance. www.bbc.co.uk /music/classical/reviews/coronation_king.shtml   (655 words)

king.htm Robert King (RK) is the founder and director of The King’s Consort (‘TKC’), and has gained a reputation for performing and recording less familiar Handel English oratorios. One of The King’s Consort's earliest discs for Hyperion was Joshua, which at the time had no decent recording at all, certainly not on period instruments. RK: The King’s Consort has always made an absolute priority to give really talented players and singers of the latest generation the chance to show themselves, and to learn - and there is no better way to learn than to stand alongside the greats. gfhandel.org /interviews/king.htm   (1746 words)

Canadian Journal of History: "I Am Her Majesty's Subject": Prince George of Denmark and the Transformation of the English Male Consort Once Anne became queen, with full access to male gendered political power, George failed to share his wife's social or political status as a king consort, as his wife had shared his status as princess of Denmark before her accession, and as the wives of kings shared their husband's royal status as queen consorts. Unlike Philip of Spain, the husband of Mary I (r.1553-1558), who held the position of king consort, and William of Orange, later William III, the husband of Mary II (r. Anne was a queen without a king, even though she had a spouse, who played the public but informal role of a loyal and obedient subject. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_qa3686/is_200412/ai_n13243813   (835 words)

The Lotus Sutra[27] - The Former Deeds of King Wondrous Splendor The king's consort had gained the samadhi of the Buddhas' assembly and was capable of understanding the secret storehouse of the Buddhas. Great king, you should understand that a good friend is the great cause and condition by which one is guided and led, and which enables one to see the Buddha and to conceive the desire for anuttara-samyak-sambodhi. "Thereupon King Wonderful Adornment, accompanied by his ranks of ministers and his attendants; his queen Pure Virtue and all the ladies-in-waiting and attendants of the women's quarters; and the king's two sons and their forty-two thousand attendants, all at the same time went to where the Buddha was. www.sgi-usa.org /buddhism/library/Buddhism/LotusSutra/text/Chap27.htm   (1903 words)

The King's Singers The salubrious accompaniment of the Harp Consort, under the direction of Andrew Lawrence King ("consort" is a period term for an ensemble), sets the stage, as it were, for the unfolding of either courtly and elegant polyphony, or a display of rustic and passionate bravura. The six King's Singers, who, with the presence of two countertenors, are able to render the full spectrum of vocal ranges, have one of the most immediately recognizable sounds. Though the King's Singers are no longer affiliated with King's college, the traditions established by those graduates are continued by new members each of whom is chosen after rigorous search and auditions. www.singers.com /kings.html   (5242 words)

Michael Haydn Requiem CDA67510 [RH]: Classical CD Reviews- April 2005 MusicWeb-International King and his forces give the Mass a satisfyingly spirited performance, but these discs are memorable for their fine recording of Michael Haydn’s astonishing Requiem.

Mv X.2.3-20: Dighavu-kumara Vatthu He saw King Dighiti, together with his consort, living on the outskirts of Varanasi in a potter's house, disguised as a wanderer. So King Dighiti went to him and, on arrival, said, "A lady friend of yours, old friend, is pregnant, and she has a pregnancy wish of this sort: she wants to see a fourfold army, armed and arrayed, standing on a parade ground at dawn, and to drink the water used for washing the swords." Dighiti was the king of Kosala — poor, not very prosperous, with few possessions, few troops, few vehicles, few territories, with poorly-stocked armories and granaries. www.accesstoinsight.org /canon/vinaya/mv10-2-3.html   (2404 words)

Trio Sonatas by Robert King at jsbach.org Bravo to Robert King and his Consort of fabulous players, this one's a keeper. The music is made even more approachable by the wonderfully clear and succinct notes by Robert King in which he explains the choice of instruments, often for individual movements. Any one of them contains a core from which a concerto or larger-scale piece might be derived from (as is the case of the second movement used in both BWV 527/BWV 1044), yet they are SO effective and convincing in a small chamber setting they really don't need it. www.jsbach.org /kingtriosonatas.html   (314 words)

A Princess of Mecklenburg-Strelitz As Queen of England and consort of George III she became an eye witness of a turbulent age. The "regency of the person" of the ill king George III remained in the hands of his loyal Queen Charlotte until her death on November 17, 1818, at Kew Palace. Her oldest son George, Prince of Wales, finally was named regent in 1812, at the age of fifty and, in 1820, upon the death of his father, ascended the throne as George IV, King of Great Britain and Hanover. www.lib.virginia.edu /small/exhibits/charlotte/charlotte.html   (1155 words)
