something stupid that's driving me insane

[rm]

A friend sent me a CD that has on it Holst's Jupiter. I know I know this piece of music from somewhere, but I can't figure it out. The liner notes mention that it was in an Aussie TV commercial, but I'm fairly sure I've not seen that (I can't be entirely sure, because my dad's in advertising, and watching tapes and programs of international TV commercials is something I've been doing my entire life).

My brain seems to be telling me it was actually used in the score of an American western at some point.

Yes, no, maybe?

One of you has to know, before this drives me entirely batty.

the english know (part of) it as the hymn "i vow to thee my country" which was apparently princess diana's favourite hymn. an adulterated form of that same part was used in d.j. sakin's "protect your mind".

i doubt either of these are what you were thinking of :-)

While it doesn't solve my rather intense curiosity, it does at least confirm for me that this thing, or something similar to it, is everywhere, and someone is eventually going to have the answer I want.

Heh.

The hymn was sung at Diana's funeral, if that helps. It's also been sung by a number of popranos (pop sopranos -- the Sarah Brightmans of the music scene).
