Hymns from the Rig Veda - Gustav Holst

A century ago, James Causley Windram, then band director of the 5th Northumberland Fusiliers (and later the Coldstream Guards) asked Gustav Holst if he would transcribe some of the composer's Hymns from the Rig Veda for military band. Always a band advocate, Holst readily agreed. In this thoroughly characteristic suite, two of Windram's settings (Hymn of the Travellers and Battle Hymn) have been edited for modern instrumentation, while a third (Hymn to Manas) has been arranged by Jon Ceander Mitchell from Holst's original choral setting.

Hymnsong from Mannin Veen - Haydn Wood

Hymnsong Variations - Elliot Del Borgo

THE VESPER HYMN is the work upon which this set of variations is based, and the fascinating twisting and turning of the melodic and harmonic material mixes wonderfully with very contemporary rhythmic involvement. Mr. Del Borgo fuses sounds from other generations with those of today. With drive and excitement, this composition flows so comfortably through its tantalizing variants. Powerful! (5:28)

Hymnus - Stephan Jaeggi

Hymnus Animae - Jacob de Haan

Music touches the human soul. From this simple and yet wide-ranging idea, Jacob de Haan created his Hymnus Animae (hymn of the soul). A slow and touching work, written by the composer to move musicians and listeners alike: a musical gem that truly deserves a stage on which to shine.

Hypernikon - Jan Van der Roost

The Greek word 'hypernikon' roughly translates as 'More Than Conquerors', the motto of Gordon College in Wenham, Massachusetts the commissioner of this piece. The work is inspired by David Rox's very own name the first two letters of his name, D and A, sets the first theme is in D major, with these notes being the tonic and dominant of the scale. After the stately intrada, the tempo accelerates and the festive feel of the march emerges. The trio melody serves as a beautiful contrast before finally ending with the opening theme in a grand tutti.
