Composed by Gustav Holst. Arranged by Ray Thompson. This edition: pdf. 20th Century, Chamber, Patriotic. 8 pages. RayThompsonMusic #903534. Published by RayThompsonMusic (A0.1314757).Arranged wind quintet.
"I Vow to Thee, My Country" is a British patriotic hymn, created in 1921, when music by Gustav Holst had a poem by Sir Cecil Spring Rice set to it.
The music originated as a wordless melody, which Holst later named "Thaxted", taken from the "Jupiter" movement of Holst's 1917 suite The Planets.
The tune is used for"World in Union" – the anthem with lyrics by Charlie Skarbek, introduced at the 1991 Rugby World Cup.
It has been used for many other Christian Hymns.
Notable examples are:
"O God Beyond All Praising" – Michael Perry, 1982.
"We Praise You and Acknowledge You, O God" – a paraphrase of the Te Deum Laudamus by Stephen P. Starke in the 2006 Lutheran Service Book
"The Answer" – song with lyrics by Corrinne May, which appears on her fourth album, The Gift.
"For the Splendor of Creation" – a hymn sung at Harvard Universitycommencement ceremonies.
"Building the Kingdom" – a recessional hymn sung at St Aloysius College.
"O Spirit All-Embracing" – Delores Dufner, 1995.
This is my arrangement for wind quintet of Gustav Holst's orchestral arrangement.
It has an opening section, before the melody begins.
