Fundraising Tune of the Day #14: Thaxted
Channel: Howard Lake
Date: 2020-04-28

Thaxted is the name Gustav Holst gave to the tune he adapted for Sir Cecil Spring Rice’s poem ‘The Two Fatherlands’ to create the hymn ‘I vow to thee my country’.

It is also the name of the Essex village, about 40 minutes’ drive from here, in which Holst lived.

The tune is also, bar a slight adaptation, borrowed from Jupiter, in Holst’s The Planets suite.

So my fundraising tip covers making the most of the same content - getting double duty out of your fundraising material. This approach matters more than ever when your access to resources and time is under even greater pressure.
