Others may disagree with me, but I believe this is Gustav Holst at his absolute best - a truly inspired piece of music.
I've rarely loved a work so much as I love this. Holst was a world shattering talent, and this was perhaps his truest masterpiece among many. Stunning, beautifully performed by UNT. Outstanding. Few professional choirs could have equalled their brilliance.
The Hymn of Jesus is a piece that I have loved for many years but I have only once heard it performed in public. It is a beautiful and lyrical work and I would like to offer congratulations to the singers and instrumentalists involved in this performance. Thank you all, and thank you Jerry McCoy for your inspired direction.
Fantastic composition by the versatile Gustav Holst brilliantly performed by the University of North Texas Symphony Orchestra and Grand Chorus at the Murchison Performing Arts Center on April 25, 2012. it should be noted that large forces are required for a performance of this monumental work, and here it's been done with excellence. Thank you for sharing!
Absolutely Beautiful 🌟
This beautiful piece of music from Holst should be performed more-take note those who choose the material for The Proms!
Sublime.
Very well done. I love to listen to good university ensembles who play and sing with the confidence of professionals.
Amazing rendition !
Rhetorically asking, why have I never heard this before? Have to go to Denton more often! This superb hall enhances any performance.
Soulful music

what genre is this?
A hymn? Based on a gregorian melody, seemingly.
Early 20th century English choral music. Begun in 1917 (when Holst was writing his most famous orchestral work, The Planets) and first performed in 1920. It's dedicated to Holst's lifelong friend and colleague, Ralph Vaughan Williams.
I love this piece of music. Unfortunately it will probably be assigned somehow to … with a woman in this weird game… or devalued in its exquisite beauty by people who don’t appreciate its complexity and want to play double entendres with it. Sadly.
