Prograde and retrograde sectoral oscillations of the Sun have been observed so as to determine frequency differences produced by rotation. Oscillations in the frequency range 2.1 - 3.7 mHz and with spherical harmonic degrees from 1 to 100 have been identified. Average frequency shifts due to rotation in a sidereal reference frame are found to range from a high of ≡660 nHz at degree 1 to a low of ≡423 nHz at degree 6, rising to ≡471 nHz at degree 100. These results indicate that most of the Sun's volume rotates at a rate close to that of the surface, but also that the energy-generating core may rotate more rapidly than the surface.
