Originally a figure in the symphonic suite The Planets, by Gustav Holst, located in the middle of Jupiter: the Bringer of Jollity. (As Pluto had not yet been discovered, the symphony is an eight-movement composition. And given Pluto's subsequent 'undiscovery,' The Planets remains very much a wonder.) Thaxted was later arranged by the composer as a hymn tune. He gave it the name Thaxted, after the English village where he lived for many years, and where he was founder of an annual music festival.
Instrumental version available, a three-verse arrangement for harp, oboe, strings, optional timpani, and organ. This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it to arrange for rental
