Really cool that Billie Eilish drew from this. I love the Rig Veda, and Holst is a master of the ethereal.

[@chileplease3474]

I’m glad that Billie is giving a window for people to look into the works of great composers such as Gustav Holst

[@nishtha1315]

Hymn to the Vena is a translation from Rig Veda which is a collection of 1000 hymns of praise composed in Vedic Sanskrit. I kinda feel proud that Billie put this segment from ancient Indian culture in her song 🙌

[@telemachus53]

It seems he's boldly going where no man has gone before. Haunting, beautiful and obviously a great inspiration for much of Britten's music.

[@ananbass5350]

Holst, the man who could depict Space through Music...

[@filmedforher]

here thanks to billie this is so pretty

[@user-km9bx3gf3z]

same! her paying homage to a master like holst made my respect for her go up 1000%

[@starseungstay143]

IKRRR

[@thepotentialcandy]

both ways, this song is beautiful

[@Woodsaras]

Here thanks to my education. Holst is much bigger and influantial than a teenage pop singer. Beautiful work though

[@taylorserasera]

@@Woodsaras good for you.. ? 😭

[@nokhimchan7966]

I came across this fantastic piece here and was honoured to present the Hymn to the travellers as the conductor together with the school choir in concert. Thanks!

The fact that people actually thought that Finneas made this piece-

[@ophelia9604]

Yeah, sadly.

[@josuevillacinda2854]

But he's actually so creative to use such a great composition, pretty different from pop/alternative music

[@CefinBeornMusic]

Beautiful. Rig Veda Jayate

[@13gudadod]

My favorite is the hymn of the travelers I got know of holst like most because of his planets séries Not gonna like i did come here originally for goldwing

[@Kobzar3374]

Very interesting music! Thank you for sharing!

[@富李後]

Hymn to the Dawn Hear our hymn, O Goddess, Rich in wealth and wisdom, Ever young yet ancient, True to Law Eternal. Wak’ner of the songbirds, Ensign of the Eternal, Draw thou near, O Fair One In thy radiant Chariot. Bring to her your off’ring; Humbly bow before her: Raise your songs of welcome As she comes in splendour. Hymn to the Waters Flowing from the firmament, forth to the ocean, Healing all in earth and air, never halting, Indra, Lord of Heav’n, formed their courses. Indra’s mighty laws can never be broken. Cleansing waters flow ye on; hasten and help us. Lo, in the waters, dwelleth One, Knower of all on earth and sea, Whose dread command no man may shun. Varuna, sov’reign Lord is He. Onward ye waters, onward hie. Dance in the bright beams of the sun; Obey the ruler of the sky Who dug the path for you to run. Hymn to Vena 'The sun rising through the mist' Vena comes, born of light; He drives the many-colour’d clouds onward. Here, where the sunlight and the waters mingle, Our songs float up and caress the new-born infant. The child of cloud and mist appeareth on the ridge of the sky. He shines on the summit of creation. The hosts proclaim the glory of our common Father. He hath come to the bosom of his beloved. Smiling on him She beareth him to highest heav’n. With yearning heart On thee we gaze, O gold-wing’d messenger of mighty gods. Wise men see him in their libations As the sacrifice mounts to the eternal heights, mingling with our solemn chant; He stands erect in highest heav’n. Clad in noble raiment, arm’d with shining weapons, Hymn of the Travellers Go thou on before us, Guide us on our way, Mighty One. Make our journey pleasant, Never let us stray. Wonder-worker, hearken. Come in thy splendour; come in thy mighty pow’r. Trample on the wicked, All who would oppose, Mighty One. Drive away the robber; Drive away our foes. Wonder-worker, hearken. Come in thy splendour; come in thy mighty pow’r.

[@RaisedThird]

Some of you people in the comments are so funny. It’s like you want more people to appreciate music like that of Holst but when someone like Billie pays homage to him and brings some of her listeners to appreciate this music you guys get mad…

[@jeffknightvisualartist]

You know that Billy Eilish is not the only person to draw from classical music in the popular music world... Yes, always open their live performances with the finale of 'The Firebird' and many bands have based whole pieces around the classics!!

[@rockingrishi1407]

Anyone out here knows that rig veda is the oldest book ever written? Glad my ancestors did that.

[@juanmaMCMLXXXII]

I think that the oldest written document is the Epic of Gilgamesh, but maybe I'm mistaken.

Dear friends, as much as I love Indian culture and religion, the Epic of Gilgamesh is older. It was written circa 2100 BC. Greetings from the Caribbean.
