Gustav Holst - The Planets Op.32 Jupiter

[Richard34114]

the guy with the symbols sxared me

[hamneggwich]

1:45 SICKEST DROP

[Uachintom]

That awesome momment when you are watching a movie and you recognize the music from it.

Cash back( football scene)

[Deuterium2H]

@vengerer...you obviously never saw "The Right Stuff". LOL, but then again, Bill Conti's score borrowed heavily from the Jupiter sequence.

[salmonisyummy]

I just found myyself humming to the tune and it just brang chills to me

LOL omfg ^-^

[JeryMoon]

Is it me or it seems to be accelerate ??? or are they realy playing so mecanicaly ????! Beautiful indead !

[jadeng852]

I like the cellist!!!

[123ghilliesniper]

That conductor was very together counting but the rest was all over the place! A true musician could see that!!

[QUIMandBEETHOVEN]

7:15 Is an impresionant conductor!!!

[QUIMandBEETHOVEN]

3:03

[96artnovice]

Weird how no one clapped at the end....I wld be the idiot yelling my ass off :)

[mcouldsee]

@96artnovice You do realize this is just one movement......you don't clap between movements.

[alternativereality]

This conductor hits all the tempos right. I don't enjoy many performances of this piece because the tempos are bad. If you want a recording of the planets I still think the recording by Herbert von Karajan with the Berlin Philharmonic is the best.

[QUIMandBEETHOVEN]

@alternativereality The conductor don't hit only the tempos...

Herbert von Karajan= Ludwig van Beethoven.

I love Beethoven and Karajan. They are the best composer and conductor.

But I think Osawa is a very good "Holst maniac".

[ApocalypticMeatloaf]

It sounds like a movie score.

[vengerer]

@ApocalypticMeatloaf no, movie scores sound like this :)

[hebejeebieXD]

LOVE the conductor's face and reaction at 3:08 

[01Iamme01]

this is soo unreal! ..AMAZING! This song always makes my day. (:

[Snarician]

What ensemble is this?

[hagenbell]

Every time I just skip to 3:03 I dont even listen to the rest xD

[Bingo1059]

@hagenbell Exactly :). It's so melodic and beautiful.. The rest is loud and obnoxious... At least for my taste.

[ziosogliolone]

super!!!!

[SatanIsStupid]

It's like a comonation of Super Mario Galaxy music and The Legend of Zelda music. Together they form an almost perfectly awesome song!

[macrosilva]

3:03-5:00 my faaaavorite part. Humming this tune after work today. Glad i found this performance. I remember playing tenor sax in high school concert band. One of my favorite pieces everrrr

[cLeVeRbOoKwOrM123]

I watched another orchestra perform this in the Royal Albert Hall (London, England) and it was amazing to see it live.

[adkinsadam1]

If someone could answer my question... I am confused. At the end it sounded like the timpani came in a half beat earlier than the rest of the orchestra, which is not as written. Was it changed in this performance or what? I like it very much so however.

[redhotchilitrumpet]

I have no idea if he meant to do it, but I really like it. I don't think he would mess up that big, so it was most likely intentional.

[Bayleebails]

:D 3:03- 5:00

[HBHO]

The Planets are some of the most genius pieces out there and this version is wonderful.

[FITZ4416]

the conducotor's face at 3:10 pretty much sums up the amazingness of this peice.

[Everglades12]

3:03-5:00 is the original piece, that is why it is so gorgeous.

[pcorf]

The two timpanist are great!



[deliaonline]

Great! Bravoooo..!

[TheMusicalOlivia]

I agree, 3:03 - 5:00 is gorgeous and my favorite part of the piece!

[killanimalsforfun247]

@TheMusicalOlivia Recite Kipling's poem 'If' aloud over that bit of the piece and it sounds fantastic.

[superluckyangelstar]

@TheMusicalOlivia same here

[esant002]

@KILLERPOLECAT That's because its only one movement out of seven in this whole suite. You clap til all of them are performed.

[dillpickle899912]

playing this for highschool tomorow, so nervous

[bentleyconti45]

@dillpickle899912 How did it go?

[giugranz10]

LOL jerkin like he'z got tourettes



[loplover]

At 3.05 it's 'I Vow to Thee My Country' - wonderful.

[hagenbell]

The first chair cellist is amazing. If we were all as spirited as him during pieces like this or any piece really, we would play so much better. He did a great job.

[superluckyangelstar]

@hagenbell yes he was very good but what threw me off was all of his rocking back and forth

[hagenbell]

@superluckyangelstar XD i think he had to peeeeee

[hagenbell]

3:03 - 5:00 is absolutely beautiful.

[makm67]

@hagenbell Jupiter. my absolute all time favorite...

it gives me a calm ticklish feeling every time i hear it...

[hagenbell]

@makm67 Yeah kinda like when you reallyyyyyyy have to pee and the you do. lol xD

[makm67]

@hagenbell well said my friend. me gusta |-)

[sanvallaros]

@hagenbell Me and the rest of our orchestra are playing this part for contest and its just beautiful! :') 

[hagenbell]

@sanvallaros Good luck:)

[Supervaluemeal]

@hagenbell I cannot agree more...

[Uachintom]

@hagenbell I agree, it is the most beautiful part of the music : )

[hagenbell]

0:26 lol the guy with the triangle

[ThePhantomOfLondon]

I vow to thee my country :)

[AnkoraFeonix]

I study the sheet music for these pieces every day... hoping just a scrap of Holst's genius will rub off on me so I can write songs even 10% as well as him! Thank you God for Holst!

[TheKearsarge]

What a Beautiful Music..:)

[lethetrialbegin]

2:33, "Oh I got you now you!"

[kris474747]

i feel jolly!

[KidRodriquez]

At 3:05 I would play this non stop on my viola

[j4lambert]

i knew this composition was used in Chukyo Television's analog sign off.

[slimgrimley]

Gustav is amazing he really managed to capture the beauty magnificence and mysteriousness of the stars!

[a2054862]

3:05, begins the most popular part.

[lethetrialbegin]

6:50, the best!

[bethesda423]

WHERE DO I KNOW THIS FROM? ITS DRIVING MEH CRAAAAZY!!!!

[rg98204]

@bethesda423 Uhhh, maybe Shrek...

[Deadmeat703]

lets rule the world with french horns!!!!! :D

[troikagirl]

@bblue82..Thanks for the info.

[FWM4Ever]

OMG this reminds me of chapel at school. We used to sing a hymn to this: I vow to thee my country all earthly things above. Entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love etc

[jinjasurfer]

great performance, but too slow. Holst intended it to be faster.

[troikagirl]

Why didn't anyone applaud at the the end?

[bblue82]

@troikagirl

ive heard that in Japan they dont clap at the end of a performance. silence is more respectful than noise. always seems odd to my western ears :)

[alastarification]

i played this in high school.....on alto saxophone

[Thebandgeeks808]

Lol look at the timpani player at 3:43 after he tunes the timpani haha

[henry01090905]

3:05 to 5:05 "I Vow to thee, my country" :D

[TheOADJ]

0:26 Look how serious he is playing that triangle. hes like yea im fuking badass! :D but respects to the video its beautiful . :)

[mmuz1]

1:45 and 6:45 pure masterpiece .... respect

[ChibiInuyasha500]

3:04 remindes me of inuyasha...just sayin' =^.^=

[TheDarkJokerknight]

3:32 Yeah let's stuff our hands in these trombones....

[s3ph1rothutube]

@TheDarkJokerknight Those are horns, though. Next time you post one of your ignorant comments, make sure you get proper instruction over musical instruments first, just to avoid shameful poor figures, at least.

Oh, by the way, that's how they're meant to be played.

[donnyab]

who is the conductor pls

[elfunny1212]

trombones rock

[XPsychowaffleX]

Holst's best work. MY favorite piece we played in high school =] too bad we sucked >.>

[OCquattro]

The movement from 3.04 makes me think of when I saw saw Concorde flying in formation with 2 spitfires. Showing what a once superior country was capable of with the right attitude.

[cloneop800]

conductor looks like an Asian Einstein

[iamunnameable]

@cloneop800 Yeah. And it looks like the only time that he and the orchestra are in sync is in the chorale between 3:00 and 5:00. But that's just my opinion...

[hagenbell]

@cloneop800 Isnt every Asian an Einstein? haha :P

[MakoShark51]

@cloneop800 do you mean Michio Kaku?

[swissel1]

@MakoShark51 Totally looks like Michio Kaku! Was thinking the same thing...

[SorasBF]

So....has anybody played the game Catherine? :B

[EpicRPGRemixes]

@SorasBF Got me into Holst!

[kibapikakurouran69]

3:04 is my favorite part of this whole song. I could just play this all day if I could.

[airsoftsoldr]

@kibapikakurouran69 I do play this in my band, exact same part

[Selahir]

reminds me abit of morrowind's main theme

[naraic1020]

@Selahir 3:37

I was wondering when someone was going to think the same theme :D

[georgeclooneyfan22]

in my opinion, there are too many wrong notes!

[georgeclooneyfan22]

in my opinion, there are to many wrong notes!

[isspyarkokyanaamdoom]

the conductor is sooo into the music!!! and funny!

[isspyarkokyanaamdoom]

true that @ WalterSolano,

JAWZxz, EvZombie

[wesleyh441]

i remember playing this in concert band

[RuskoVEVO]

1:45 - that melody

3:05 - wow

[JAWZxz]

0:26 That's the most emotional triangle playing I've ever seen.

[DissidiaOfficial]

assolutamente il mio compositore preferito!

[EvZombie]

@4:00 the cello player is so into the music he physically moved the cello as he moved side to side... thats awesome :)

[MrMostafa2106]

[WalterSolano]

3:05 so beautiful...

[joshster89]

I love the finale at 7:27

[TheOADJ]

[gomtao]

@TheOADJ Beautiful*

[Maximusnessage]

6:45 is the bit I always look forward too.

[polkapenny]

I loved playing this!

[gforce444542]

watch that guy rock the triangle!!!!!!!! 0:27

[Deadmeat703]

YEAAAAA FRENCH HORNS!!!!!! (im the only french horn in my band)

[vivace1129]

@Deadmeat703 i know, right? people don't know what they're missing

[MrMattrivera]

@Deadmeat703 ITS ALL BOUT BARITONE BOII

[Deadmeat703]

@MrMattrivera haha

[Whipgreen123]

@Deadmeat703 WHOOOO BEST INSTRUMENT EVER. i have 7 french horns but then again we have 30 trumpets and you knoow how annoying those are

[Deadmeat703]

@Whipgreen123 yea haha we used to have a LOT of trumlets but most quit now the clarinets r the biggest group and they sound HORRIBLE

[595vampiregirl]

I wanted to cry so bad at 3:05

[rdbsyd]

Without having to read all the comments, can someone tell me what orchestra this is? Thanks in advance :-)

[MrZcross37]

Why are there two timpani? I 've played this for a high school symphony, and I didn't get the joy of having a second timpani player. I don't get it.

[megm001]

@MrZcross37 it was written for 6 timpani. so, timpanists... timpani has melody

[invaderflareon]

Someone PLEASE tell me, the melody at 3:05 is used in many movies and songs, but can someone give me a list of what this tune made a cameo in? It sounds SOO familiar and it's killing my brain to remember. It MAY be a song I've sang in choir, or a movie I'd seen recently.... I just have to know!

[RyanAkmn2]

@invaderflareon The tune is called Thaxted. It's set to a British national song, I Vow to Thee, My Country, and a few church songs like As the Bread of Life is Broken, Three Days, O God Beyond All Praising.

[misskahu]

@invaderflareon - This is the tune for the Rugby World Cup Anthem called "World In Union" .

[gomtao]

49 people were intimidated by the conductor's conducting style

[wizardofrhythm]

@1:20 Sound like Lost Woods from Zelda Ocarina of Time anyone?

[TonyBtones]

@wizardofrhythm Are you implying they copied Zelda?

[eep853]

ik good right?

[troyorlandi]

3:08 LOL

[ATPL74]

48 morons

[Archieman13]

Press 9 to fight with the director.

[MiniMoose1997]

This is not the Jupitar I know, and I play The Planets in marching band...

[Bl4ckm4gc]

@MiniMoose1997

This is the original. Your marching band music is probably an adaptation.

[larsgundy]

@Bl4ckm4gc Lol @ this is the original. Like they're the first ones ever to play it LOL!

[Bl4ckm4gc]

@larsgundy

Meaning, this is the original composition, not an adaptation for a marching band. No need to nitpick over everything.

[NarutoAddictNTF]

This song really gets to me... It makes me want to fulfill my impossible dream to join an orchestra... =' )

[alzonfire]

lol 3:50

[GerryGuyCorpsGuy]

When you hear this you shouldn't think that Jupiter is in fact a planet were it's always storming and rains acid

[MegaRolfcopter]

You can just tell how much the conductor loves the middles section.

[alzonfire]

u might azwell come 2 my mini orcherstra 2 heer this;)

[cybeeonline]

Whenever this world gets me down I listen to the whole suite, I can then leave this place and travel the universe..............

.........................Simon Bloom

[aynjel0via]

1:45 SWAG

[vipnon1965]

The magical flow of this tune always takes me away with the fairy’s.

[Captnabhe]

beautiful- just....beautiful

[kingdanenator]

The beggining musical phrases sound like glimpses of Zelda if you ask me

[xilent234]

3:52 that cellist is really into the music: a true musician :)

[xilent234]

Is that Einstein's conductor cousin? :D

[JoShigeru]

I like this song.

Gustav holst he can make my emotion with this song.

Ps. I like conductor very much :)

[simpleinthemoon]

goosebumps EVERY time at 3:04

[eep853]

@simpleinthemoon ik!

[gymnutter89]

Love how happy the conductor looks at 03:09

[gymnutter89]

With all the horrors I've seen in this world, I sometimes wonder if it would really be such a bad thing for our species to die out.

Then I see something like this... and it reminds me that mankind does have more to offer than we may realise.

[terentii]

@gymnutter89 The grand middle section of this piece never fails to move me to tears. Imagine a period version of "War of the Worlds," set in Victorian Britain, with Martian fighting machines like the ones in the Classics Illustrated comic book and "The Planets" forming the basis for the music score. "Jupiter" would come near the end, as the people are streaming back into London and the hero of the story is reunited with his wife.... What an absolutely bitchin' movie that would be!!!

[litia725]

My father saw the Milwaukee Orchestra (or was it symphony? not sure.) do The Planets a few years back. They sped up the being alot, and made it simply marvelous. I wish I could hear it.

[RockhopperFan]

We play part of Jupiter as a warm-up Chorale. It's simply breathtaking.

[teredaable]

how difficult is it to play the triangle in such a orchestra? Do you need musical background?

[TheWasabi123]

@teredaable besides being able to count, and keep a steady beat there are techniques to playing the triangle

(kinda). but most importantly you have to be extremely confident to play at a high volume with an instrument whose sound is extremely exposed

[bgcheetah1]

the beginning of this piece feels like being launched into space. amazing.

[evifnoskcaj]

Seiji Ozawa for the fucking win.

[atrumdecretum]

@evifnoskcaj yeah man this is a fantastic performance. On par with Herbert von Karajan; I'm truely impressed

[my25raspberry]

CLARINET PWNAGE

[Frenchfriekiller]

47 people can't play an instrument

[adambaum421]

no applause at the end? 

[melliesue82]

@adambaum421 - It's not polite to applaud in the middle of a performance.

@melliesue82 It may not be considered polite to applaud during a performance, but it happens all the time. And it generally means that the musician(s) really touched the audience in a special way.

For example, I did the piccolo solo to The Stars and Stripes Forever in concert when I was in high school. As soon as I finished the solo, the band took over with the melody but the audience leaped to their feet and began to applaud and cheer.

I did not consider it rude.
