BBC - Radio 4 - Today Programme Arts Report I Vow To Thee, My Country was sung at the funeral of Diana, the Princess of Wales. I went to a prominent girls' grammar school in the 1950's and we were not allowed to sing 'I vow to thee my country’ as it was considered to be nationalist. The love of my country would be one of the strongest emotions I feel, that is the love of the British countryside, its people and the values of tolerance and decency being British should involve. www.bbc.co.uk /radio4/today/reports/arts/vow_20040813.shtml   (1904 words)

The Little Notebook Also familiar as "Jupiter's Theme" from Holst's The Planets, this patriotic British hymn was sung at the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer and, tragically, also at her funeral at the request of her son, Prince William. My first arrangement of this music, a few days after the funeral of Princess Diana, was based on having heard and loved Holst's The Planets for most of my life. My arrangement now more closely reflects Holst's arrangement of Thaxted rather than his earlier "Jupiter's Theme." This is my final arrangement of this piece. www.guitarist.com /cg/notebook/notebook.htm   (778 words)

BBC - Manchester - Faith - Ban this hymn? He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "It actually says we're going to support my country whatever it says, entire and whole and perfect, the love unquestioned, which is in that first verse of the hymn, right or wrong. My very simple view is that if someone wishes to sing this hymn at an offical occasion(and if it is on the programme), then by all means SING. I would also like to make the point that loyalty to country and people was perfectly right and acceptable at the time in which it was written when there was some sense of nationalistic pride. www.bbc.co.uk /manchester/content/articles/2004/08/17/bishop_hymn_ban_feature.shtml   (1679 words)

England Article, England Information   (Site not responding. Last check: ) From the late 13th century, the neighbouring principality of Wales was joined to England, and gradually came to be a part of that kingdom for most legalpurposes, although in the modern era it is more usually thought of as a separate nation (fielding, for example, its own athletic teams). The history of England as an independent country stretches on through the middle ages and renaissance to the reign of ElizabethI, often remembered as a golden age in its history, notable both for its culture and mercantile success. The other national languagesof the UK (Welsh, Irish Gaelic and ScotsGaelic) are confined to their respective countries, and only Welsh is treated by law as an equal to English (and then onlyfor organisations which do business on both sides of the Anglo-Welsh border or in Wales itself). www.anoca.org /english/britain/england.html   (2780 words)

Policy Suggestion: A National Anthem for England To be honest I would prefer 'I vow to thee my country' as the english national anthem. Land of My Fathers is already the official Welsh national anthem, sung enthusiastically not only at sporting events but even sometimes at the end of theatre plays and at many other cultural gatherings. If "I vow to thee my country" is seen as racist by the PC brigade I think that is what it has to be, I think we should do everything which the PC lot hate just to wind them up. www.ukipforum.co.uk /about23.html   (1275 words)

BBC NEWS | England | Manchester | Call to ban 'nationalistic' hymn He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme on Wednesday: "It actually says we're going to support my country whatever it says, entire and whole and perfect, the love unquestioned, which is in that first verse of the hymn, right or wrong. "That, I'm afraid, is actually heretical because it actually says that my country's approach to things must be my first call on myself and that my relationship with God or what I believe to be right or wrong is secondary to that. He added he was raising the issue in the wider context of the "vilification" of foreigners in the media and had noticed it was being sung at "various national occasions". news.bbc.co.uk /1/low/england/manchester/3557750.stm   (420 words)

Patriotism and sacrifice | the Door The hymn ‘I vow to thee my country’ was recently described as heretical by the Bishop of Hulme, on the grounds that a Christian's ultimate commitment is to God not to the nation state. The same is true of ‘I vow to thee, my country’, which the diplomat and poet Cecil Spring Rice wrote in 1908 while he was serving in the British Embassy in Stockholm. In particular, the line ‘The love that asks no questions’ is considered to imply a blind, uncritical patriotism ‘my country right or wrong’ but that was not how Spring Rice saw it. www.oxford.anglican.org /page/1258   (838 words)

I Vow to Thee, My Country As they told me about their favorite patriotic songs, my hostess turned on her record player to help me hear them – songs like ‘Land of Hope and Glory’ by Edward Elgar, ‘There’ll Always Be an England’ (a popular song during World War II), and of course, ‘Jerusalem’ by Hubert Parry. Ironically it was in light of the enormous loss of life that Owen described that the people of England found consolation in naively patriotic songs like ‘I Vow to Thee, My Country’ that was now set to music by the well-known English composer Gustav Holst. What I vow to country is loyalty but a tempered loyalty, obedience but a watchful obedience, commitment to order over chaos but commitment that allows us to find commonality and connection with one another. www.metropolitanumc.org /sermons/2006_Sermons/7_2_06Sermon.htm   (2178 words)

Jerusalem [Archive] - Stormfront White Nationalist Community Both Jerusalem and I Vow to Thee My Country have stirring words and good tunes to them, elements which are lacking in God Save the Queen :(and which are essential to a good national anthem. Though perhaps because the words, particulary in the case of I Vow to Thee My Country, have fairly strong religious overtones the lyrics may need changing somewhat. I Vow To Thee My Country is a grand tune but the title needs re-thinking. www.stormfront.org /archive/t-113163Jerusalem.html   (1309 words)

Guardian | I vow to thee my country - but not without question Thaxted is a wonderful tune written by Gustav Holst, but a Manchester bishop has denounced the words that go with it. The second verse of I Vow To Thee My Country, with its emphasis on the kingdom of heaven, is probably acceptable. But the first verse appeared to call for "unquestioning allegiance to what a country does, whether right or wrong", the Right Rev Stephen Lowe, the suffragan Bishop of Hulme in Manchester, said yesterday. www.guardian.co.uk /print/0,3858,4992189-110427,00.html   (426 words)
