Anyone know where to find this?

[pawnraider]

The title is "I Vow to Thee, My Country" and it's arranged by Andy Brick. You can find it on youtube and I would like to know if it's available on CD or iTunes and where I can find it so I can get a copy. Thanks for your help.

Sorry. Doesn't even come close. In the youtube video there isn't any singing whatsoever. And the music is listed as "I Vow to Thee, My Country" and not "The Planets Suite, Jupiter". I believe the music is played by The City of Prague Filmharmonic Orchestra.

The title of the music is the Jupiter section of the Planets suite by Holst. The words from the poem "I vow to thee my country" were set to it later - which upset Holst somewhat.
Check it out on Wikipedia. Listening to the music on Youtube - it is the Holst music played by the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra.
The tune is in many hymn books under the name Thaxted - the village where Holst lived for many years. Search for Planets by Holst there are several recordings available on the web and listen to it.

Hmmm. Either I have not made myself clear-which I think is unlikely, or you are being argumentative-which I think is more likely. What I am asking for is the recording itself that is being played in the video and not about the music in general.

Also, I would caution one against using Wikipedia as a reliable source of information since it's had more than its share of controversy.

 

[bhillyard]

I misunderstood you - I thought you wanted details of the music. I cannot find any published recording of the piece by the Prague Philharmonic apart from the youtube item. I used wikipedia as the reference as I don't own a music reference work that you would likely have access to.
I sang the piece at school commemoration services annualy between 1960 and 1965.
I have heard the piece as both the original orchestral item by Holst many times and also sung it often as "I vow to thee my country" at Remembrance services in my adult life.

I attempted to post the location of the download for this file, however, I am new to this forum and it would not allow me to do so. So let me describe how to get there. You should search You Tube for the video "I Vow to Thee" (orchestra). Then follow the URL under the Like/Dislike buttons to a site run by MediaFire. You will get a download option for a .flac file.

If you need a .flac to .mp3 converter I recommend FreeRip3. It is totally free, basic and requires no commitments.

I just completed this process and it worked beautifully. This is an amazingly, beautiful piece of music!

This appears to work only for cd's and not for flac files. Is it possible to get it to work for flac files and how does one do it?

 

[pawnraider]

Never mind. I finally figured it out! Success! Success! It worked and it's now loaded in my iTunes and now my iPod where I'll most likely be plalying it non-stop. Thank for this!

This is a very beautyful hymn; thanks for posting this.

In our Hymnal, Lutheran Service Book, this tune of Holst's is also used for an alternate setting of the Te Deum, sorry, the only good video is sideways;

Grand Rapids Te Deum - YouTube

RealPlayer is easy. Just download the video, convert to chosen music format (mine is MP3), and then transfer to iTunes.
