This video described the 35th Regiment of vote as a regiment raised in Ireland and formed of Irish men who have spent most of their life enforcing British rule in their own country. But this regiment was raised in Belfast amongst overwhelmingly Protestant folk who were the decendents of the Scottish and English folk who colonised parts of Ireland particularly wat is now Northern Ireland . They probably would have seen themselves as British as well as Irish and would have no more qualms in enforcing British rule in Ireland then people from the British mainland would have done .
I'm sorry I simply couldn't make it all the way to the end without stopping to grieve the omission of at least a mention of The Cloud Messenger, which our choir performed as a west coast premiere 2 years ago. We found it glorious to sing as a spiritual piece, since as a choir the words are often paramount.
Por excelência um Concerto Romântico tendo a vista a originalidade brasileira. O compositor aproveitou sabiamente, suas influências étnicas desde quando compunha música popular.
I think the first time I ever heard this was in animated short called Cosmic Cartoons (an alternate version), and then later in the film The Man Who Fell to Earth. Neptune is my favourite of the suites.
When people say music brings them to tears, I sometimes think they're being a bit hyperbolic, but with this section in Holst's Jupiter, I genuinely have to fight back the tears. There's nothing else like it.
One of my ancestors, by the name of Pierre Durand, likely took part in this fight. He would have been in the militia coming from everywhere in the colony!
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.
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
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
