The collection of nine Vedic Hymns (Op. 24) for solo Voice with Piano accompaniment marked a turning point in Holst's compositions. They were inspired by Hindu scripture and Indian raga, and first published in1908. Vac (Speech) is the seventh movement, and is the first of the third group of hymns, where the theme shifts into the human sphere.

This suite is based on the fairy tale The Bronze Pig by Hans Christian Andersen.This is a story about a boy who wants to be a painter and a pig made of bronze. This pig, in Florence town square, is a bronze statue with clear water pouring from its mouth. Legend has it that when an innocent child sits on its back, that the pig can run. In three movements; Flying Dreams in a Starlight Sky, La Via Porta Rossa and Twilight on the Arno River this work is a highly descriptive storytelling piece that will be equally enjoyed by young and old alike. Definitely one not to be snorted at!Deze suite is gebaseerd op Het bronzen varken van Hans Christian Andersen - een sprookje over een bronzen varken en een jongetje dat kunstschilder wil worden. De plaats van handeling is de Italiaanse kunststad Florence. Decompositie bestaat uit drie delen: het sprookjesachtige Flying Dreams in a Starlight Sky, het nostalgische, stijlvolle La Via Porta Rossa en het sfeervolle Twilight on the Arno River. Het bronzen beeld van hetwaterspuwende varken is te vinden op de hoek van La Via Porta Rossa. Het origineel is het marmeren beeld uit de Griekse Oudheid dat wordt tentoongesteld in de Galleria degli Uffizi. De componist bezocht Florence zelf, waarze werd ge nspireerd door beide beelden.Kumiko Tanaka entführt uns in ihrer Suite für Blasorchester in die Märchenwelt von Hans Christian Andersen. Il Cinghiale di Bronzo (Das Bronzeschwein) handelt von einem armen Jungen, der nachts auf einem lebendig gewordenen, Wasser speienden Bronzeschwein durch die Gassen von Florenz reitet. Das Bronzeschwein, das Andersen zu seinem Märchen inspirierte, kann man heute noch besichtigen. Die Inspiration, die Kumiko Tanaka aus seiner Erzählung und der Atmosphäre der wunderschönen Stadt Florenz gewann, ist in ihrer Komposition deutlich zu spüren.Pour composer cette suite en trois tableaux, la compositrice japonaise Kumiko Tanaka s’est inspirée du conte Le Sanglier de Bronze de l’écrivain danois Hans Christian Andersen. Le récit raconte la rencontre entre un petit garçon qui rêve de devenir peintre et un sanglier de bronze qui prend vie lorsqu’un enfant, symbole de l’innocence, monte sur son dos. La scène se passe Florence, foyer des arts de la Renaissance… Per comporre questa suite in tre parti, la compositrice giapponese Kumiko Tanaka si è ispirata alla fiaba Il Cinghiale di Bronzo dello scrittore danese Hans Christian Andersen. La storia, che ha luogo a Firenze, narra dell’incontro tra un ragazzino che sogna di diventare pittore ed un cinghiale di bronzo che prende vita quando il ragazzino, simbolo dell’innocenza, gli monta sul dorso.
