GUEST,Passing Stranger Lyr Req: Land of Hope and Glory (37) RE: Lyr Req: Land of Hope and Glory 09 Jun 00


The Planets Suite by Gustav Holst predated the use of the tune for a hymn by at least ten years. I read that Holst was no more enthused about the adaptation than Elgar.

Another secular tune appropriated by the religious lobby is Eric Coates' "Dam Busters" march.

Why should the God-squad have all the good tunes.

"Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel!"
