How it was made

The music. Handel wrote The Arrival of the Queen of Sheba in 1749 for his oratorio Solomon. We tested several versions of the soundtrack on a test channel and kept the one people watched longest, then re-arranged it so the big chorus arrives in the first seconds.

The pictures. Every shot was made with AI video: a baroque world with a modern twist. The Queen arrives by coach, meets the King, they dance, and then the whole world joins in.

The edit. The first cut went up on 7 November 2026. Viewers showed us where they stopped watching, so the second cut moves the chorus earlier and drops the weaker shots. This page always plays the latest version.

Your turn. Which moment do you love? Tell us in the YouTube comments: the next cut is built from the favourites.
