All Glory, Laud and Honor Solo/Duet

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!).
