Rodney Abriol has set THAXTED in a way that emphasizes a sense of wonder, as reflected in this popular contemporary hymn text. Varied textures in the vocal parts and supportive piano accompaniment add richness to the memorable melody. Thoughtful, elegant and fresh!

This setting of a well-known melody/hymn tune from Gustav Holst's "The Planets" features a text by Michael Perry and is quite well-written. With long choral phrases, it is an excellent teaching opportunity for arching the phrase and the ebb and flow of the moving line. There is also a nicely unexpected ending.
The Bottom Line

Very nice setting of Holst's melody from "The Planets"
