All Glory, Laud and Honor Solo/Duet

Posted by on November 3rd 2022 @ 7:02 pm

Some years ago I had the thought to pair Gustav Holst’s famous Thaxted theme (classical fans will know it as Jupiter from the symphonic masterpiece The Planets) with the words of the well-known hymn All Glory, Laud and Honor. I arranged it for choir, organ, piano and strings, adding a newly composed descant to the last verse.

Today I was going through music I’ve written for Thanksgiving (just around the corner!) and I thought this would make a great solo or duet. I transposed it, figured out appropriate chords and made an ukulele chord chart to tack to the back:

I hope you take as much joy in this melody as I do! Let me know if you learn, perform or record this music … I’d love to share any videos or recordings here on UkulelePlay.com or on Uke & Me via FB (feel free to connect with me there!).

Ryan's favorite starter ukulele: The Enya Nova U Concert Ukulele 23” on Amazon sounds great, is easy to play, in tune and nearly indestructable. "I left it in the car through the heat of summer to see what would happen, and it still plays beautifully."
