@Federico Sanchez thats what happens when you have an inept government that funnels all of their millitary funds into their own... pockets- wait a second, that seems familliar
@@charlesford7887 haha. Like that matters. Longbowmen, remember? All she needs is a few of them to take a weak coastal city. After that, it's go time. I was landlocked by rome as england on a deity match. Rome wanted war with me. After about 30 turns, rome no longer existed (they had twice the number of cities I did and were better than me in almost everything, barring gold. Quick reminder for everyone. Never, NEVER, forget about gold.
Currently playing on the Ynaemp map pack with 22 civs and correct spawn locations, and it's playing out just like real life, where I'm going around "civilizing" everyone with ships of the line and converting people to christianity by force. Feelsgoodman.
The most fitting music there is for current times. Hints of sadness and sorrow for the end, overwhelmed by a feeling of nostalgia and pride for the journey that was made.
Absolutely this was the most fitting song i can think of for this end of an Era. So sad to see the UK in the state it is now since this music was composed.
@@thescrout9831 You Scots aren't victims/enemies of the UK, stop acting like you aren't just as complicit in the actions of the UK and are somehow England's enemy. The number of Scots with this kind of mentality is mind boggling given how little most Scottish people are affected by the few genuine crimes the English committed (which happened in the 1800s, all that Medieval shit doesn't count since literally everyone had terrible moral standards back then)
This theme is based around Gustov Holst's "Jupiter: Bringer of Joy" movement in his Planets Suite. Just in case anyone was searching the comments for an answer. You never know, this is the type of stuff that gets people turned onto classical music.
Not really, otherwise you'd hear trumpets playing arpeggios up and down instead of soft, lyrical passage like this. It's based on Holst's "Thaxted" tune, which was part of "Jupiter" from the Planets Suite.
theninja, that's actually backwards. "Oh God, no praise is worthy" is a hymn based off the theme from "Jupiter." I think the Wikipedia page will say so (take that for what you will). kanjiguy, never heard of it, but I'll take a listen to it and do some research. Don't forget that it could be the same scenario - "Thaxted" being based on "Jupiter" and not the opposite.
@@benjaminbunday4757 That's incorrect. I Vow to Thee My Country is based on Jupiter from the Planets suite by Gustav Holst, not the other way around. The Planets was written between 1914 and 1916, whereas I Vow to Thee My Country was created in 1921.

After learning this is a rendition of Jupiter I fell down a rabbit hole trying to find my favorite version especially this "big tune" section. I listened to So Many and concluded..this is my favorite. It feels grand and old with gentleness. I love how string forward yet balanced it is. Truly a work of art.
@@azunkor422 I heard so many kids wonder why they were playing Jupiter in our remembrance day ceremony in Canada so I had to explain to them what it actually is.
+brandon turco And everyone else's. The music in this game....seriously, man. All the main themes are awesome, and even some of the 'generic' ones are good, too.
+brandon turco have you heard Gustav Holst's Jupiter? Or the original I vow to thee my country? England's theme in the game, no matter how great it is, is the most similar one to its original counter parts.
“Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never, never-in nothing, great or small, large or petty-never give in, except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force. Never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.”
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. I heard my country calling, away across the sea, Across the waste of waters, she calls and calls to me. Her sword is girded at her side, her helmet on her head,[6] And around her feet are lying the dying and the dead; I hear the noise of battle, the thunder of her guns; I haste to thee, my mother, a son among thy sons. 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.
Yes. Though the middle verse is normally left out in modern renditions. This song is associated today with Remembrance day. The day that Britain and the Commonwealth celebrate and thank the service of veterans during The first and second world wars.
My favourite verse, very British I heard my country calling, away across the sea, Across the waves and waters, she calls and calls to me. Her sword is girded at her side, her helmet on her head. And around her feet are lying the dying and the dead; I hear the noise of battle, the thunder of her guns; I haste to thee, my mother, a son among thy sons.
TheWhiskeyZone I say this as an American: English/British patriotism knocks ours on our ass. Its the subtlety, in my country being a patriot seems to be firing a gun and guzzling a beer in front of a flag (a slight exaggeration I know, but not by much).
Indeed, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has vowed to her country, her realm for her lifetime until the very end. A very fitting theme for the longest reign of a British monarch. God save the Queen. May Her Majesty rest in eternal peace.
The main part that is loud and empowering just sums up England to me and that we will be together as one. 'England,a force to be reckoned with,but a freind to be reconciled with.'
NO, I WOULD NOT BE INTRESTED IN A TRADE AGREEMENT WITH ENGLAND. NOW SHUT UP, IM NOT GIVING YOU ALL MY LUXURIES, AND HORSES FOR TWO IRON!!! * england declares war on me umm.... about that iron.... can we tal about this *war theme starts playing *cries
It baffles me how this is not the national anthem of England. Both the best peace and war theme in the game. The love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice T_T
I've argued this for a couple of years now. This song inspires the kind of patriotism and civic duty that any anthem should. The idea that EVERYONE should vow to the country, regardless of race, class or creed is something we should be promoting alongside an unshakeable pride in a country we are all proud to call home.
Isn't a vow what makes you a citizen? Vowing to uphold the social contract between you and your beloved country and sovereign. Long live the Lord Protector of the Realm of England and the Commonwealth of the United Kingdom!
The Law Lords actually addressed that conflict in a case in the late 90s. It was decided that for all intents and purposes, the Crown is Great Britain. So usage in terms of oaths of loyalty are interchangeable. An oath to the Queen is an oath to the country and vice-versa.
KingHarlaus1 oh! It's you. How have you been? I've been really busy defending the Empire, you know, after I commented that huge essay proving so many people wrong as to why the British Empire was a good empire,
KingHarlaus1 I've been living in Australia for 16-17 years now. English isn't too hard to learn :) Thank you, my German is worse than my English, however :(
Well to be honest, that trade agreement looked more like a political union. But it looks like the US, Canada and Germany are still interested in a trade agreement with England! :)
The U.S. was founded in South America. In the 17th century, the U.S. met England. The U.S. made trade proposals and England accepted them. They became allies, later friends and destroyed the Japanese menace together. Good times.
For 1 sec I thought yo.u were referring to history. I'll never forget he campaign where England started at South America and dominated pretty much the whole continent
+Bogdan Petrescu Oh, you were talking about civ. For a second I thought you were like a weird thai fellow whom thought that the Sami were just Thais Estonians Hungarians and Latvians combined into one people. And that the thai people discovered the world 2000 years ago in hot-air balloons.
I just found what song this is based on, it's "Jupiter: The Bringer of Jollity" by Holst. I'm sure many of you already knew that, but I suggest listening to that, since it's not background music it's much more intense!
The song is based off of an English patriotic song called I Vow to Thee, my Country, which, like the Star Spangled Banner, began as a poem which was put to music later on. But the lyrics of I Vow to Thee, My Country were matched up with the theme from Holst's Jupiter. You can find a recording of I Vow to Thee, my Country being sung to that theme anywhere on RU-vid :P :)
True, but I suppose the reasoning is that since the first and last minutes or so of Jupiter are not present, it makes more sense to call it I Vow to Thee My Country. That, and I believe that today, more people are aware of I Vow to Thee My Country than they are with any works by Holst.
Holst was asked to write a separate piece of music for an occasion that was meant to be patriotic and would be used with this particular poem, but he was so busy he just gave them the middle section from Jupiter. World in Union is this theme but is in 4/4 time instead of 3/4 time.
Nope! There is no Duchess of Lancaster, only a duke. Similarly, there is no real equivalent of "Lord" for a woman - it could be Lady or Baroness, depending on the title.
It's not entirely uncommon for women to take the masculine form of a title if they're regnant (i.e. not the spouse of the title holder, but holding the land directly in their own name). There have been examples of women styling themselves "King", too, though not in England.
I've never played any Civ games but its so cool to see this song in it. It's one of my favourite anthems in the whole world (national anthems included). It's just slightly behind USSR/Russias national anthem
I'm amazed that few people in the comments made any remarks about how has a feature rendition of Holst's Jupiter from the Planets from 1:30 onwards, who of course is a brilliant English composer. That's honestly what made me love this theme even more.
fantastic arrangement of a wonderful tune. Thank you. This cracks me up every time i hear it, and reminds me of the sacrifice I made in WW2 along with other RAF boys. The final sacrifice. I hope this is played at my funeral.
I was playing civ 5, with my younger siblings watching bluey one room over, and I heard this music, I thought it was because I was playing civ 5 as England, then I realized, I was playing as Brazil, I went over, and apparently there is an episode of bluey that has this music. XD
