Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Music Released
London, Feb 5: As Queen Elizabeth II completes her 70 year on throne, British-Israeli composer Loretta Kay-Feld has released a special music. According to BBC, Kay-Feld, composer, author and lyricist was contacted six months ago by the royal. “They asked me what music could I do for Her Majesty to celebrate her 70 years on the throne,” she said, speaking from her home in Raanana, Israel’s Tel Aviv.
“I’m very fond of the Queen and I was absolutely thrilled to be asked, and I went about thinking how could I express her feelings of a life devoted to service to her people.” For the music, she worked with award-winning Irish film director Jason Figgis, who had previously brought scores like ’70 Years a Queen’ and ‘The Queen’s Soliloquy’ to video. Figgis said that he wanted to “rise to the challenge of creating beautiful, resonant and emotive visuals to help celebrate Her Majesty, the Queen’s, Platinum Jubilee”. Queen would be completing her 70 years on throne on Sunday. She succeeded her father King George VI after his death in 1952. She was crowned Elizabeth II on June 2, 1953. According to BBC, the Queen is the first British monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee and a series of events in honour of the occasion are due to take place across the course of the year.
