ww2 advert

[luckyjane]

a newspaper (the times I think?)is giving away CD's about world war two at the moment, does anyone know the music that is played while this is being advertised on the television?

Are you sure it's The Times?

I've just watched an ad (on Film 4) for the offer of free DVDs, related to WW2, in this week's Telegraph.

If that's the ad you're referring to, the music is an orchestral setting of the hymn "I vow to thee, my country".

"I Vow to Thee, My Country" is a English patriotic song created in 1921 when a poem by Cecil Spring-Rice was set to music by Gustav Holst.


Gustav Holst adapted the music from a section of Jupiter from his suite The Planets to create a setting for the poem.
