Holst-Jupiter

[10shanwei]

3 people thought it was documentary

[GothMooCow]

<3 I first heard this song in the movie Parasomnia and loved it. Then spent an hour trying to find what it was called XD

[alankace]

Which orchestra performed this?

[kitLars]

It's the London Symphony Orchestra. Thanks for you visit!

[flippingdaisyburgers]

Why the hell is the music accompanied by pictures of people wearing pink feather boas??? I think its a bit of an insult to the grandeur and beauty of the piece of music.

[kitLars]

This is a visual story about creation, evolution, and destruction, and then resilience. It's not about representing the music in itself. I think those four words, creation, evolution, destruction and resilience are as powerful as the music. Sometimes unlikely events such as a boah erupt along the path of powerful things.

very good version usually this is done by some high school band which dont get me wrong some sound very good but not as good as this. not to mention when it does sound this good only the second part is played i commend you kitlars. personally though i prefer the first part that mirrors homeland by gustav holst : )

[ryonbean13]

im playing this song as a freshman in highschool on trombone...very fun and beautiful piece of music

[kitLars]

thanks for commenting Ryonbean! I love this song. Sometimes I just put it on replay and clean house....:P

[bassoon334]

my school band was playing this and i was playing oboe then

[kitLars]

What a nice coincidence! I am an oboe player. It is an entirely special instrument!

[bassoon334]

Yeah............... but then i found the bassoon and fell in love at first site

[bassoon334]

i played this on oboe at my school

[ouch6767]

[kitLars]

OH my! It is certainly my pleasure dear friend of someone moving! I hope it goes well!

[petergrondines]

Ça m'a fait pleurer, c'est tellement émouvant!! Merci mille fois!

[kitLars]

You are so completely welcome Sir!!!!

[Payntandsnowbell]

isnt this just the same thing without 3 minutes of the beginning?

[John1993]

I have learned that the 4 minute version is alot better than the 7 minute version

[1950Bob]

Anybody know what orchestra this is? Ironically, of all Holst's "planets" Jupiter has always been my favorite movement. A wonderful response, KitLars. Thank you so much for posting it.

[kitLars]

Thankyou so much for your appreciation of my attempt to share how powerful this song is. I have always thought it should bring some sense of transition into greater and broader gifts, even in survival for the listener. So I enjoyed putting it into some type of image. Thanks agains!

[alliekatBGJHS]

this song is so pretty!!!!

[cjgan80]

I wonder why it's called Jupiter..?

[operabitch77]

look at jupiter and play this piece of music. if jupiter was a section of music it would BE this. with its powerful red eye and all of its glorious circulatory spledidness!!

[pbsolo121]

Different twist for a classic piece of muisc. Quite amazing,...
