"for the Royal Fireworks"".

His sacred drama and choral music, particularly the coronation anthem ""Zadok the Priest"" (written for the inauguration of George II in 1727) which has remained part of the ceremony for British monarchs, and above all, the ""Messiah"", helped set the British taste in music for the next 200 years.
