Thaxted I vow to thee...
This short film, sponsored by the Friends of Thaxted Church, celebrates the centenary of Holst's glorious music and his link with the beautiful village of Thaxted where he was once church organist.
Gustav Holst's 'Planet Suite' was first performed in 1918 when he was living in the historic village of Thaxted in North Essex. The hymn 'I vow to thee my country’, the tune of which was adapted from the theme of 'Jupiter’, has become one of the nation's favourite hymns and was named ‘Thaxted’ by Holst himself. The words to the hymn were taken from a poem by Cecil Spring Rice.
Written at the end of a brutal war, the music is a stirring affirmation of hope.

Spit it out, William.
Beautiful music, but much more glorified to the lyrics of Michael Perry which gives Glory to God! Let's not let any more time be wasted before His final return (Divine Mercy). Steven. England.
Very well done!
What a perfectly lovely community...the village and its setting - and the residents clearly coming together in the sheer joy of being where they are. I am reminded of my early life in the small town of Dorking, and my last home in Abinger Hammer, both nestled in the Surrey Hills. I left England over half a lifetime ago in 1980 and am now living in Houston, Texas - a far cry from the peace and tranquility of those years so long ago but remembered so well. Thank you for this video, for Holst's beautiful music, and for the memories invoked.
I'm sorry to tell u this but no
why did you leave? if i were you I would never leave
Just wonderful. I pasted every day the college where Gustave Holst and those like him, taught working men like me. Not knowing what my Grandfather and his generation went through in the trenches. The war to end all wars. Reminding me of my blessings. Thank you for posting. .
Gorgeous - hope this happens again
I am so grateful to live here...

Stunning place to live.
Absolutely lovely! Looking forward to dancing at Thaxted next year.
Thank you for your comment. We are looking forward to seeing you all dancing in Thaxted next year.
To do this cost a lot of brave men and women's lives. They paid the price for our today.

Thank you for this; how proud and humbled I feel to live in England and not far from Thaxted.
Great video - reminder of better times when ‘social distancing’ was not in our vocabulary! Those good times WILL return.
