Look at all history from all sides, Churchill is not the man, as portrayed by the UK, his most famous speech , he didn't even give, too drunk to do it, he was a just representation of the group that rules the world today, Vlad the Impaler was a real hero , he used to want to fight the leaders himself, to save the slaughter of his men and their men, that's what a real hero does

This is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard. I am American but several branches of my family came from various counties in England so I guess it's okay for me to feel it can be my anthem, too. It's just beautiful.

I mean, given that it was not conceived as an anthem of any kind... and music belongs to everybody anyway, it's about the art and emotion, especially with pieces like these.

And there's another country I've heard of long ago, Most dear to them that love her, Most great to them we know, We may not count are armies, We may not see her King; Her fortress is her faithful heart, Her pride is suffering; And soul by soul and silently, Her shining bounds increase, And her ways are ways of gentleness, And all her paths are peace.

Yes the music is part of Gustav Holst’s suite ‘The Planets’ specifically Jupiter. Altogether a beautiful suite of music

[@cr10001]

Actually this piece (when used as a hymn tune) is called 'Thaxted'. Possibly better known as "I Vow to Thee My Country" but honestly the words of that are horribly bombastic, the music is far better on its own. And it's also much better alone than in the Planets 'Jupiter', because in that Holst has book-ended it with some incongruous orchestral fiddling that clashes with the mood. But by itself it is, I think, the most beautiful and moving piece of music ever written.

Holst composed Jupiter and used the refrain in this song himself Very smart

[@prototropo]

Like many people sharing comments here, I’m invariably reduced to tears by this moving work of Holst. This arrangement is especially powerful, given that it accompanies the archival film of Winston Churchill’s funeral. For we who so admired our fathers and uncles returning-or not returning-from the war against fascism in Europe, and barbaric aggression in the Pacific, this music is not just another KZbin moment. It is elegiac, epic, anthemic-a wistful hymn of gratitude to a generation that risked everything for us, their kids and grandkids. It even records for many of us the survival of a free humanity, with all the tear-brimmed sentiment that deserves. We can see the evil posed by Trump and Putin because their brand of evil is not new. Anyone moved by this music must embrace its importance in the recurring struggle against the new Hitlers, the new Mussolinis, Francos and Hirohitos.

I hope you enjoy the emergence of the conservative right, minimal change in immigration, a split between the generations and the dismantling of the United Kingdom.

+Naval Porcupine Scotland won't leave lol

[@navalporcupine2426]

Patrice If Nicola Sturgeon can get enough support to get a referendum (which won't be difficult because Scotland voted to remain), they will most likely leave. What is the point of Scotland being in a union which has dragged them out of the union they wanted to be a part of?

Brendan Dawson Honestly I hope that you're right that the left isn't happy with brexit for no good reason, because if what we fear for is to happen then we have a good reason to fear for this country.

what did we do destroy` a dream of unity

[@Robalot39]

I am not aware of the orchestra that is playing but this particular version is from a game called Civilization V and is composed by Geoff Knorr and Michael Curran. If you wish for more information I believe that Geoff knorr has a youtube account under the name 'KnorrMusic'.

Glad to hear you're enjoying it. You might be interested in listening to some of the other music from the game too. Although not commercially available apart from the game, you can listen to the other pieces on my site.

I'm about 100% sure this is from Civilization V :|

[@samsid3701]

I am 100% sure that this is from Jupiter from Gustav Holst's The Planets

[@Destroyer83]

+Samsid You're both right. This tune is known as "Thaxted" the central part of "Jupiter" from Holst's The Planets, however, this particular version is also used in Civ V for Queen Elizabeth's theme, named after a British patriotic hymn named "I Vow to Thee, My Country", put to the same tune. This, being in the major key, is the theme for when Elizabeth I (or the player, if playing as Elizabeth I) is at peace.
