Coronation Sanctus by Roxanna Panufnik was commissioned by His Majesty King Charles III for The Coronation at Westminster Abbey on May 6, 2023. It is a 2-minute piece for double choir and organ described by Roxanna Panufnik as festive and glittering. The music quickly builds and finishes ecstatically, with organ fanfares and flamboyantly colorful harmonies.

Latin. Text source: From the Eucharistic Liturgy of the Roman Rite. Scripture: Isaiah 6:3, Psalm 118:26, Matthew 21:9, Revelation 4:8.
An a cappella polyphonic setting based on the Sanctus chant of Mass XVIII. Though not particularly complex, the extensive divisi requires fairly sizeable forces, and the harmonic texture requires careful attention to intonation. The end result creates a powerfully rich sonority.

Szymon Godziemba-Trytek, born in Poland in 1988, already is one of the acclaimed choral composers of our time and has been awarded numerous prizes at national and international composition competitions, as e.g. in 2014 for his 'Miserere mei Deus, miserere mei', a musical setting of Psalm 56 for eight-part mixed a-cappella choir. It is the effective antiphony between female and male voices, four-part homophonic passages including four bars for two solo sopranos, rich dynamic nuances, staggered entries of the voices in imitation, and sound elements to be performed in an individual loop-like manner that make this sacred choral work special. For this work, the young composer was awarded the 3rd prize at the Composition Competition Musica Sacra.

Kurt Suttner, editor of the carus novus series, has written as follows in the foreword to the printed edition of Schanderl's setting of Psalm 90: The seven verses of Psalm 90 contrast the eternity of God with the transitoriness of man.This contrast is symbolized in the composition by the majestic, slow-moving basic pulse of the music, and by rhythmically taut, concise, polyphonic melodic figures. This contrast exactly matches the words which speak either of the permanence of God (Domine - Lord) or the transitory nature of man (convertimini filii hominum - return ye children of man - mane sicut herba - like the grass).
