Product Details

Product Description

Arranged double 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 dectet/bass of Gustav Holst's orchestral arrangement.
It has an opening section, before the melody begins.
