Greetings from Indonesia, love it...we learn violin n play ensamble too, Komunitas Biola Tangerang..and recently often play this song, it’s everybody’s fav,thank you so much for share this beautiful piece..
Hi, I'm from Indonesia too... and I really love this arrangement for four strings. I think it is better called "Thaxted" since there is not any single word sung here. "I Vow to Thee, My Country" is just one of many hymns written to this tune. It originally came from one part of "Jupiter the Bringer of Jollity" by Gustav Holst with some later lyric additions.
No, it doesn't. This is not an hymn. The title of the piece is "Jupiter", not "I vow to Thee My Country". Jupiter is a classical piece (without lyrics) that Gustav Holst wrote for The Planets, Op. 32, a seven-movement orchestral suite. "I vow to thee, my county" is a posterior British non-offical hymn that adapted the theme of Jupiter to suit its lyrics. But the original and offical "Jupiter" is a piece with no lyrics.
In fact, the title of the video is wrong. The name of the piece is "Jupiter", not "I vow to Thee My Country". Jupiter is a classical piece (without lyrics) that Gustav Holst wrote for The Planets, Op. 32, a seven-movement orchestral suite. "I vow to thee, my county" is just an adaptation, a posterior British non-offical hymn that adapted the theme of Jupiter to suit its lyrics.
@@jameswalker6864 but if it were Jupiter then they would have to play the whole piece, this is just the famous part that anyone knows and of which is the tune to I Vow to Thee My Country
Fantastic performance! However, the title of the piece is "Jupiter", not "I vow to Thee My Country". Jupiter is a classical piece (without lyrics) that Gustav Holst wrote for The Planets, Op. 32, a seven-movement orchestral suite. "I vow to thee, my county" is just an adaptation, a posterior British non-offical hymn that adapted the theme of Jupiter to suit its lyrics.
Holst was a proud Englishman himself, and was perfectly complicit in adapting it in 1921 specifically for Sir Cecil's poem at the request of the publisher. The adaptation was even named "Thaxted" after his hometown. Ultimately, it doesn't matter what you call it, as long as you appreciate it for the great work that it is.
I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above, Entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love; The love that asks no question, the love that stands the test, That lays upon the altar the dearest and the best; The love that never falters, the love that pays the price, The love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice. And there's another country, I've heard of long ago, Most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know; We may not count her armies, we may not see her King; Her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering; And soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase, And her ways are ways of gentleness, and all her paths are peace.
Those lyrics do not belong here. The title of the piece is "Jupiter", not "I vow to Thee My Country".

But the original and official "Jupiter" that is played in this video is a piece of classical music with no lyrics.
The soul-stirring melody of "Jupiter" Holst / "I Vow to Thee, My Country" resonates deeply within me, invoking a profound connection to my Filipino heritage. As the harmonious notes weave through the air, my patriotic heart swells with emotions, reminiscent of the valor displayed by those who gallantly defended their homelands, regardless of nationality. This poignant musical journey becomes a poignant tapestry, inspiring an unwavering love for my country, a love adorned with the majesty of shared struggles and triumphs that transcend borders.

Actually, this is "Thaxted" which is the name given by Holst to his standalone adaptation of the curiously out-of-place middle section of "Jupiter". This hymnal theme was later used as a in conjunction with a poem by Cecil SpringRice to create the popular hymn "I vow to thee my country". If they had entitled it "Thaxted" however, only die hard Holst fans would have looked for it under that name. Most people know it by the name of the hymn.
I came onto this video accidentally but I’m so glad I did, absolutely beautiful rendition of my favourite patriotic anthem 😍
Stunning. One of my absolute favorite hymns
Brings tears to my eyes! Makes me think of all those who died for our country !
From a Hong Kongese, i vow to thee my country.
The 1st violinist started this piece with such a full rich tone I had to look closely to be sure she wasn't playing a viola.
Started on the G string that’s why
I miss my Civ 5 Elizabeth playthrough days...
Excellent music. THE BEST!.
Definitely playing at my wedding. And it helps as I serve with the army at the moment. Good on you for playing this 👍👍.
Stay safe buddy & thanks for your service!
cello sounds amazing
Has to be a favourite version...very rich
Simply beautiful!
Kicks Canon in D's ass as a wedding song

Beautiful, yet simple - doing full justice to my favorite hymn! Thank you so much!
This song makes you proud of your country, wherever you live.

@@jameswalker6864okay, but if Holst himself adapted the chorale then it’s official.
Impossible, I'm American. I will never be proud of this country.
Such a beautiful song❤️❤️❤️
This is beautiful.
Lovely rendition. So perfect and I love how you guys played the hymn.
I love this piece... I am learning to play this on the Viola. :)

aka Jupiter the Bringer of Jollity from the Planets by Gustav Holst
@James Ernst Which, even further back, was a drinking song...something it shares with "The Star Spangled Banner."

Thanks for the info! Been listening to ‘I vow to Thee My Country for more than a year but never knew that. ‘Jupiter’ is so beautifully written.

May I ask where did you find the score? Thanks!
Do you have this song for sale on Amazon can let me know please.
Hi Joy Darling! It's available to purchase on iTunes, but not Amazon. It can also be streamed on Spotify and Apple Music. Enjoy!
that is jupiter from the planets by holsts
Eick Alonzo You are right, this is Jupiter.
The problem with singing it is the octave drop, without which each verse starts an octave higher…
Wish I'm British now
