"Thaxted" is a hymn tune by the English composer Gustav Holst, based on the stately theme from the middle section of the ''Jupiter'' movement of his orchestral suite ''The Planets'' and named after Thaxted, the English village where he resided much of his life. He adapted the theme in 1921 to fit the patriotic poem "I Vow to Thee, My Country" by Cecil Spring Rice but that was as a unison song with orchestra.〔Holst, Imogen, A Thematic Catalogue of Gustav Holst's Music. Faber 1974, page 145〕 It did not appear as a hymn-tune called "Thaxted" until his friend Ralph Vaughan Williams included it in ''Songs of Praise'' in 1926.〔Vaughan Williams & Shaw, Songs of Praise, 1926, Oxford University Press〕 This setting was sung at the funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales in 1997. Other hymns written to the tune include * "O Merciful Redeemer" - Frances Ridley Havergal, an obscure version of the lyrics which reminds many Catholics of Saint Faustina and the Divine Mercy devotion.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=O Merciful Redeemer )〕 * "We Pledge To One Another" - Jill Jenkins〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=We Pledge To One Another )〕 * "Building The Kingdom" - Jo Kenderes * "O God Beyond All Praising" - Michael Perry, 1982〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=O God Beyond All Praising )〕 * "O Spirit All-Embracing" - Delores Dufner, OSB, 2001〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=O Spirit All-Embracing )〕 * "As the Bread of Life Is Broken" - James Chepponis, 2002〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.hymnary.org/text/as_the_bread_of_life_is_broken-1 )〕 * "We Praise You and Acknowledge You, O God" - a paraphrase of the ''Te Deum Laudamus'' by Stephen P.

John Joseph Adams. San Francisco: Night Shade Books (ISBN 978-1597801607), 2009.〕 a Sherlock Holmes pastiche written by Dominic Green, where the tune is a major plot element, though the story contains a chronological error in that its Autumn 1918 setting would pre-date the publishing of the tune under the name "Thaxted". ==Commercial uses== *Sarah Brightman has recorded a song "Running" in 2007.
