Jupiter, The Bringer of Jollity - from Holst's The Planets

Astrologer Noel Tye tells us that Jupiter “symbolises expansiveness, scope of enthusiasm, knowledge, honour, and opportunity.” Holst’s Jupiter corresponds in all these respects, depicting the quintessence of the plump, jovial fellow who knows how to enjoy life and lives it to the fullest. As a hedonist indulges in many pleasures, so does Holst lavish upon this planet a wealth of musical ideas - five of them, in fact, every one heard initially in the horns. The broad, majestic theme of the central andante maestoso episode was later cast as a patriotic song.
About The Planets:
Since time immemorial, man has looked upon the heavens with a sense of awe, wonder, imagination and mystery. It was inevitable that interpretations of outer space would find their way into artistic endeavours, including our music. Composition of "The Planets" occupied Holst from 1914 to 1916. The first complete performance was conducted by Albert Coates on 15 November, 1920. Such is the music’s originality, imagination and sensationalism that audiences have been looking ever since into Holst’s catalogue for more compositions of this nature - in vain. Atypical as it may be, The Planets remains by far Holst’s most popular work. Holst claimed that the individual titles of his Planets “were suggested by the astrological significance of the planets; there is no programme music, neither have they any connection with the deities of classical mythology.”

I'm here from Bluey and I may currently be crying. Perfect song to pair to those glorious little mundane things that make up day to day life, but which illuminate with love when taken in with a wider vision of the lives they have touched.

The concertmaster got in a swordfight on his way to the venue. He got away unscathed except for that little cut on his forehead.

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
