Product Description

An arrangement by Philip Le Bas of Gustav Holst's hymn setting of "I vow to thee, my country" ("Thaxted", with words by Sir Cecil Spring Rice.) It is scored for SATB choir and organ, with congregational participation split between men and women. This enables a more "joined up" and uplifting rendition of Holst's famous tune from "Jupiter" in his "Planets Suite" than the standard setting in most hymn books. The hymn's popularity is very evident for example by being sung both at Princess Diana's wedding and, poignantly, at her funeral.
