I Vow to Thee My Country...

You may be wondering just what today's post is about, although you probably suspect some sort of patriotism.  Well, if that's what you think, you would be correct!  More precisely, though, this is a musical interlude - of patriotic British tunes!

This is a full hour of music devoted to not only the United Kingdom as a whole, but to the specific countries of the UK.  Before you see the video, I must tell you about the title of this post.  I Vow to Thee My Country is actually a well-known (although relatively modern) patriotic British tune.  It is a passage taken from Jupiter, from Gustav Holst's "The Planets", a classical suite written during World War I.

Enjoy!
