Brilliant documentary about one of the greatest composers of the 20th century. Thank you. I loved hearing first hand memories of his daughter, his students, and his collogues. The anthem from the middle of Jupiter still grabs my soul.

To have Holst`s daughter as conductor, must been incredible emotional.....

one of the great pieces of music ecer

Sharpe! "O'er the hills and o'er the main. Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain. King George commands and we obey. Over the hills and far away!"

Thank you for posting this! I was not aware that this had been released. I love Roderick Williams' voice.

In The Bleak Midwinter is worth a thousand symphonies - what music!

I cry every time. playing this at my Dad's funeral

The British soldier back in thosecdays had to be in full uniform at all.times when he was outside

this song made me spend 2000 dollars💀

liberal government propaganda, more lies than truth

Holst, one of the greatest composers 🎵🎶🎼

My 7th grandfather Charles Grim of Winchester Virginia under General Wolfe was a pow at the battle of Quebec at 23 years old. He later got freed and ended up being very close friends with Daniel Morgan and drinking buddies. Charles grim was one of Daniel Morgan’s Dutch mess, closest confidants and part of Daniel’s elite sharpshooters

This is exactly how it should sound.

The Royal Irish and Royal Highlanders were proud to serve the Crown, this is such new age Liberal tripe about the Irish and Highlanders being anti British. Both the Highlanders and Royal Irish were Protestant and pro British. The French were weak, untrained cannon fodder. Their great, great grandchildren pollute the modern Canadian Armed Forces with the same weakness and cowardice.

Im one of the oldest students in high school band class, so my band director lets me conduct sometimes. We are playing an arrangement of this piece in class, and he let me conduct it once. I was in heaven. Didnt drop my smile the whole time.

And this is not even the most beautiful part of The Planets. If you love this, you'll love the whole piece even more.

This song used to play in the roblox game solar system exploration 2, every time I hear it I feel like nibiru is on its way to destroy earth, so terrifying but peaceful.

The original documentary is not avaible anymore, what a shame... 😢

Rugby World Cup 2007 and 2011 comes to mind big time

Very interesting

Brutal, I like it.

I saw Holst's tomb when I go to England I will visit Claudevan melo.

Matpat leaving TH-cam be like:

played this in 7th grade orchestra, usually called "Jupiter" and is part of an arrangement with about 7 songs called the "Planets". Every song is just as good and I recommend listening to all of them!

This gives me Dreamworks Intro vibes ngl, either way love this a lot

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 questions, 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.

God bless England

A lovely sensitive and inciteful portrait of the man and his work. Really interesting descriptions of his teaching from his clearly impressed students. I was surprised at my own emotional response to Imogen’s description of his memorial service at Chichester cathedral. Tomorrow will indeed be our dancing day…….🙏 Bruno

Hold on! Historic events have many nuances. The highlanders mentioned had not lost their homes solely because of the 'British' as stated in the video, but were turfed out by wealthy Scottish land owners/clan chiefs who saw greater prosperity with sheep.

LOL

Overall, very well done. You don't hear many female voices narrating military history. They did a better job than Hollywood showing the smoke cloud and confusion that enveloped the battlefield when firing started, smokeless powder was not invented until 150 years later. How many modern men would have the stones to stand (literally) in line and trade musket volleys at 40 yards? And step into the holes in the ranks and reload? Then to advance in line with bayonets.

British parliament lost the will to keep it,, the sugar islands were the priority at the time

Simply wonderful! Thanks so much for posting this fabulous documentary featuring one of my two favourite composers - the other being RVW.

In my living room hangs an engraving of a portrait of George of Denmark in his magnificent wig, based on the painting by Kneller from Kensington Palace. Every time I look at it I have to whistle this song...

Heartwarming

I walked down the aisle to this. ❤❤❤

The British Redcoat fought in every corner of God's earth. He served with honour, heroism and great distinction . Often he served a Parliament that sent him to war but resented paying him for that privilege. He was often under manned, ill equipped and maligned by the public, but nearly always carried all before him. God bless all British Redcoats past and present.

My greatest gripe with this video is that youtube had the audacity to never ask me whether I felt it was life-changing or not.

What glorious piece of paradise was found the night in Thaxted when this piece of music was written? What part of the world can my dreary eyes not see that I miss all the beauty in this world?

Brilliant. Also reminds me of the 1999 Wallbies winning the RWC. The greatest team to ever win a world cup.

The man that brought my family name to this continent was one of those sent in America to fight in the 7 years war. He was a landless Alemannic German farm boy in what it now eastern France whom enlisted in a mercenary unit. The unit was contracted by the French crown to serve on a Compagnie Franche de la Marine ship bound to Acadia for the siege of Louisbourg in 1758. He deserted with most of his unit of "Volontaires étrangers" after a short time in the fortress. He ended up in Boston for a few years but settled in Quebec in 1765.

GOD SAVE THE KING. LONG LIVE THE KING.

My ancestors came to America in the 1600's..And fought in these wars..French and Indian.And married into the Haudensaunee..six Nations tribes .

My mum sang this to my siblings and I like a lullaby.

Just encountered this, by accident. Absolutely lovely: thanks. A real treat to see the interviews with the other great luminaries, Rubbra, Tippett, Howells et al.
