Gustav Holst - The Planets - Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity

[Thepeckinator]

Last time I heard this, I was hanging out the back of this black chick at a house party and I porked her so hard she yopped into the hosts yucca plant. Good times

[justdontforgetme]

Love this piece. I was fortunate enough to play it my first year in an orchestra - it was absolutely amazing. 

[Carzocat1999]

SHREK! (:

[ohheyitskara24]

Playing this, the arrangement though not the level 6. Level 4 is hard enough on my tenor.

[saraomidvar]

why do I remember hearing these pieces when I was young? Was there a computer game or tv show or theater that had this music back in 90's UK?

[CassandraDayAlias]

I just heard this performed in person today. Really, really AWESOME.

[mountainskis]

I accidentally deleted my own comment, so I'll put it up again: The theme at 2:54 is incredible! Thank you Holst, for giving the world such amazing, powerful music. :)

[burri06]

This is England.. And everythings alright. It's fine.

[yorgez]

For those who don't know the song at 2:54 is "I vow to thee my country" which is probably where most of you recognise it from.

[euph142]

Jesus, do they have to catch a train or anything?? Much too fast!!

[paerarru]

@euph142 hahaha, well heard. I'm seriously suspecting the track might be sped up somehow...

[euph142]

@paerarru Yes, that was my first thaught as well. It is almost unplayable at this tempo.

[LadyBassPlayer17]

@euph142 Key word is almost. I do think that it is too fast to really be enjoyed but it is possible to play at this speed. While it is extremely difficult to play at this tempo it is still possible and has been done.

[euph142]

@LadyBassPlayer17 What I meant by 'playing' is not the technique. I agree that technique can be played at any tempo you like. But at this tempo it is almost impossible to let this music sound as real music, not just notes.......

[SarothCyngus]

I'm playing the chorale of this at Solo and Ensemble tomorrow... Wish me luck lol

[TrAnMu]

@SarothCyngus Awesome. Howd it go? On what instrument?

[SarothCyngus]

@TrAnMu Marimba. I got a superior rating! :D

[TrAnMu]

@SarothCyngus Good job! My solo ensemble festival isn't for like another week or so.

[SarothCyngus]

@TrAnMu Thanx. And goodluck! :D

[notpopcorn]

We are playing this in band class and my friend tom thinks 2:54 sounds lord of the ringish like a mix of concerning hobbits and rohan theme

[iWantThatPoster]

@malam4cro Actually, John Williams, composer of the first three Harry Potter films, was greatly inspired by the Planets symphony. That's why the first movement of The Planets, Mars, sounds so much like Star Wars' Imperial March.

[bar187]

staggering, nearly 100 years later.this man knew what he was doing

[schizostelios]

i was feeling shit all day...now i feel great!

[EXPLODA966]

2:54 = ENGLAND

[Malam4rco]

harry potter anyone?

[potasqqqq39]

@viper3944 Uh, hate to burst your bubble bro, but Holst was English. And from what I've read of your (shameful) comments, you are too. If you have such a problem with America, why don't you come on over, and you and I will have a little chat. I think we'll be able to "work things out". Everybody here is just trying to appreciate this "fag's" (as you would wrongly and sickeningly say). So get off your god damned high horse and get a life. Thank you.

[clinthori]

i love Gustav's music since "the right stuff" movie, you all should see , pretty good movie about man and his limits

[stevewaugh2]

Simply Fabulous !

[ReznasHits500s]

The reason why Jupiter is uninhabited and desolate: Chuck Norris wasn't satisfied with just conquering Mars, so he did the same to Jupiter.

[EXPLODA966]

@ReznasHits500s Chuck Norris jokes have taken an arrow to the knee.

[RaisuliLordoftheRiff]

This is simply the greatest piece of music ever written.

[DinodudeEpic]

It sounds like Morrowind a little bit.

[OnyxCrystall]

I love it so much!!!

It's the best classical piece I've ever heard!

[ThisIsSparta313]

@2:54 This gets real.

[ERPP8]

@ThisIsSparta313 Correction: The best part is from 0:00 to 7:36

[egomez234]

Cavies 95'!

[dciguy08]

SCV 2012!

[irkibby]

2:54 hair: on end.

[sakuragami101]

i just played this in a concert . . . it was unrecognizable as the same piece, this is amazing!!

[commradefyedka]

So THIS is where John Williams learned to write music...

[HeartToFarts]

Man, I'd love the chance to play this piece again. <3

[MrWhateveranything]

2:54

[bobby09rjmp]

Who disliked this? this is the most amazing piece of music ive ever heard in my entire life jesus christ! ahah haters

[L00kng]

I don't think Mr. Holst understands the Planets at all.

:-/

[NetVoyagerOne]

@L00kng

Actually, considering that Jupiter protects Earth from asteroids (to an extent), he's not terribly off the mark with the title. :)

[Gubbywubby]

Oh THIS is what the piece is supposed to sound like! Listening to my orchestra playing it, you'd never guess...

[akayla61]

@ERPP8 I play french horn! In yo face! :P

[ERPP8]

I love this song, but it makes me sad I don't play french horn.

[ziangshu]

i'm addicted to listening to this song

[kris474747]

this made me jolly!

[Jan96106]

This is my favorite planet in this suite, but I've always thought it, on the whole, a very stately piece rather than jolly.

[XEspmasterX]

@viper3944 What does this have to do with the video?

[viper3944]

@XEspmasterX never u mind

[FanRoTom5678]

@viper3944 You are an amazing troll. I commend you.

[spdutahraptor777]

3:00 now i know where it came "World in Union"

[Kevin8kevin1]

just love it........

[crudedudey]

i love how the top two comments almost have nothing to do with this amazing peice!

[ctmetfan101]

@crudedudey actually they do, look at the title of the song, hence both playing off of the word Jollity

[desu38]

@crudedudey And suddenly your comment doesn't make sense anymore.

[HerEyesWereWild]

@crudedudey They still don't. :P

[nooneushudknow13]

This is the most epic out of "The Planet" songs.

[TheRosemaryRegency]

heard Sara Brightman sang this song, never thought it was a movie track b4

[iamnotarobot39]

just awesome. I like the slow part. It's just overflowing with emotion!

[Powerofthecowboy]

a century old and people still regonise this powerful song. This is what true music is.

[MrBorisPuppy]

Gershwin also loved this symphony and brought it back to New York!!

All Hail Artistic Inspirations!

[bbhrupp]

So amazing to experience it live in a concert hall. The LSO did it a couple of months back

[bbhrupp]

Got to be one of my favourite classical pieces!!!

[oddvidios]

I broke my dads speakers playing 6:57 too loud

[TwinkieTerminator335]

42 people are seriously deranged

[Nobodyknowsme021]

Nice piece, but it's kinda repetitive. My personal favorite classical piece is probably night on bald mountain by Mussorgsky. You should listen to it.

[pixiekorigal]

thumbs up if hihara kazuki brought you here :D

[SculptedThoughts]

@pixiekorigal Fail.

[thecpsuperman]

@pixiekorigal Who's that?

[plancarte6]

Pilar

[MrChrisPoynter]

@mountainskis that theme always gives me a lump in my throat.

[TheIbtehontas]

@mountainskis the theme from 2:54 is from a song called 'The world in Union". its a great song :)

[allydfc12]

@TheIbtehontas By which you mean the song World in Union, is from this theme...

[SKFrance]

from 2:46 > Wonderful song by Ayaka Hirahara :D

[THEMGOROTH75]

Oh!!!6:57 - 7:05 !!

[gitarguy0]

Omg. My band director really picked some good ones for our spring concert. This + brian balmages' The Elements = love. If you don't know that piece, go look it up. You'll be glad you did. Lol.

[SemanTomas]

2:55 - nominee for european hymn :)

[GoodFerYouProduction]

2:55 was used by Swedish band Bathory in his epic "Hammerheart" definitely worth checking out

[s3ph1rothutube]

@GoodFerYouProduction Indeed, Quorthon's lyrics added to this music piece are truly eargasmic!

[northeromen]

@GoodFerYouProduction Hail Quorthon! \m/

[PRINCESSCUDDLY1]

HEY!

[piotrvorkosigan]

Just watch movie "Right stuff", part of John Glenn goes to space.

[jpq21]

I love this piece, and I've played one of the timpani parts two different times, its SO fun!

SO, I have to say, during the hymn section (timps come in at 3:56), the Eb is REALLY sharp (its the highest timpani note during that section). Bugged the heck out of me. How could he not change that after he heard it the first time? I mean its the freaking Chicago Symphony! It totally ruined that part for me in this recording.

[LinkSkywalker42]

@CenterEntertainment That part doesn't even sound like the Elder Scrolls theme song...

[CenterEntertainment]

2:55 THESE GUYS COPIED THE ELDER SCROLLS THEME SONG

[HsCIDreamz]

@CenterEntertainment its completely the other way around...this was written almost a hundred years ago (1918 was when it was first performed but i believe that he started working on it in 1914)

[CenterEntertainment]

@HsCIDreamz i was being sarcastic xD

[WhoHasThisUsername1]

@CenterEntertainment I don't think Holst copied the elder scrolls theme song . . .

[CosplayAyane]

@WhoHasThisUsername1 the crap? doesn't even sound like elder scrolls, and Holst was composing long before Elder Scrolls.

[alphapmu]

a great piece of music to test out a new pair of headphones.

[ctmetfan101]

The Planets - Jupiter, the Bringer of Jolly Ranchers

[MrFluffyandme]

I played this song at my orchestra! The medlody is so powerful! <3

[ghebhaile]

I'm glad this year as a student, my high school band is playing this

And Brandon your right, it does :)

[chubbsmcgee2413]

3:00 sounds alot like a part from jerusalem

[Vildasnaga]

It reminds me of the old National Geographic theme...NICE!

[e3jfify]

One of my earliest memories as a child was hearing this piece of music at primary school. I went straight to the local library with my dad and found the Planets album and listened to it as much as I could until it had to be returned - the music has never left me since that week - that was the first time I ever felt emotional when listening to music. So here's to you, Gustav. Thanks for opening up my ears and letting me experience one of the most wonderful pieces of music ever written

[BrandosMs12]

2:54 reminds me of when you watch a DREAMWORKS MOVIE with the guy siting on the mon fishing

[STEProductions]

I feel so carefree when I listen to this!

[mdastermd]

1:35 is epic. just saying.

[mdastermd]

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hehehe i'm a little over excited. my family's the katy perry, justin beiber type. it's nice to get away from that stuff and listen to this AWESOMENESS!!!!!!!!!

hhehehehe :)

[LEOPARDTWO]

Stirring. Five stars.

[Biverix]

I like the word Jollity. Heh. Jollity!

[Rotebuehl1]

@Biverix I always thought Jupiter was the bringer of Joy! Now I learn that's false, because it's Jollity! Actually! Hahahahaha

[MeteoricVirus1]

Watch out! we got ourselves a badass over here!

[viper3944]

i could play better music by hanging upsidedown in water playing the piano this gustave holst is a fag

[viper3944]

hello geeky friends you still listlening to this brainwashing shit

[Biverix]

@viper3944 Yes. Yes we are. Problem?

[thelol1759]

@viper3944 Yes xD

Its beautiful *dreamy look in eyes*.

[insertcolorhere]

Heard at the Montreal Symphony Orchestra on December 6th. Just awe-struck by the beauty of this piece heard live.

[Wiman445]

@insertcolorhere i know how you feel last year my local youth symphony orchestra that im in played both mars and jupiter. Then later we played it with our states local symphony orchestra with the professionals just an awe inspiring moment.

[RectalExplosives88]

@euch27

Wait, isn't Jupiter a god? No wait, that's Zeus. Isn't it a planet? No wait, that's Pluto. No wait...

Ah screw it. euch27, you sir, are a true moron.

[irkibby]

@RectalExplosives88 Were you thinking Mr euch27 was being serious?? LOL

[djmikeaaronr]

I wish Jupiter was a planet

[Jhanzey]

@AloProject shhhh, dont tell him

[MrLoch101]

2:50 makes me sad and remember lost family

[thatskater16]

lol viper trolled your asses so hard up the ass

[viper3944]

@thatskater16 thank you at least some one unerstands me all these other brainwashad wankers cant fight so they have to tell you how to wright fucking saddos

[thelol1759]

@viper3944 lol "wankers"

Well sir,

I respect your opinion and humbly disagree with it.

[viper3944]

@thelol1759 your scarned now pussy

[iamslama]

@viper3944 spell right u troll

[xwondererx]

Remind me of Lord of the Rings after 2:55

[kssolider100]

i wonder... how did holts know songs to the planets? ;)

[MrPantherBear]

love the usage of the chorale of Jupiter in the hymn "I Vow To Thee My Country" beautiful. I wish hymns were better in the Catholic church (ie. more like Lutheran and other Protestant ones)

[SecretLittleKappa]

The melody from 2:55 makes me cry every time.

[arabmafia4eva]

@SecretLittleKappa i get to play it in my band in highschool:D its very powerful!

[jasminexDxW]

it kind of reminds me to the musical "wicked" ... :)

[viper3944]

this is so boring plese ge a lide and stop contemplating on others grammer you wont win this little rivalry i dont give a flying fuck what my grammers like i earn more in a second then you do a decade fuck off 

[thatskater16]

@viper3944 good troll mate

[viper3944]

@thatskater16 thanks

[viper3944]

i muted it so im no geek i just happend to stumble acroos it

[LudwigZhi]

Does anybody know if the melody starting 2:55 was Holst's original creation or a musical quote?

[smartybiancs14]

@LudwigZhi Yes, it is Holst's creation. It's called "Chorale from Jupiter".

[pa2pb2]

Don't you hate it when you look at the comments and it's just loads of @username followed by massive blocks of text with two people having some meaningless argument? Nobody cares about your shit opinions!

[ageshero]

@AloProject Your reward for your remarkably stupid comment was 33 comments or more.... *LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE*

[Wiman445]

played this along with mars with my local youth symphony orchestra these two pieces show you how fun and exciting it really is to play in the symphony.

[melkorthefoul1]

@viper3944

Nope. Just people who have an education and some degree of manners.

[kkattamanchi]

Our band director had to pay $300 for the parts and score. Makes me feel pretty pro.

[Blooprska]

The part at 2:55 is so... powerful. I love hearing this and sometimes it makes me cry. Yeah, I know, dorky.

[chynadoll4338]

@Blooprska Yes it does. I first heard this when my sons high school marching band plays this as their field show. If you can, can you please go to my "cal high marching band" playlist and click on the "warren high school field show" video and let me know what you think. I'll try to post the link in this message but I doubt it will appear. They made it to State Championships coming up this Saturday.

[hampden12]

@Blooprska Hey man/woman.

I really get where youre coming from here.

But its the precision and brilliance of this sections commencement that gets me ...and that occurs at 2.53!

[Blooprska]

@hampden12 Woman. Thank you very much. But yes precision brilliance should be appreciated.

[MysticalNomad]

@Blooprska Me too. That is my all time favourite musical segment!

[Transam1514]

@Blooprska google Thaxted (tune) there is a good wikipedia article of it if your interested!

[ajd1978ajd]

@Blooprska 2.55 is indeed a very powerful emotional grand part of this orchestral piece i totally see ure point!!!

[arabmafia4eva]

@Blooprska its the best part(: my band plays it in highschool.

[viper3944]

wtf who are u lot the grammer police

[OdessaKT]

Plus, I like the whole suite because they vary greatly.  Everyone, try listening to Venus, the planet of peace after listening to this!

[OdessaKT]

My favourite in the Planet's suite. Most lively. Such a vibrant piece. I love the beginning and the change at 1:00. Absolutely sugar to the ears. And again at 3.00. Oh~ Gustav Holst, a part of Mozart's and Beethoven's and Tchaikovsky's big big family!

[xEmmaLOVESmusicx]

this music makes me hungry. O.O

[robbitthehobbit1]

41 people are LAME SAUCE

[RiannaLD]

The part at 2:31 kills me every time. I saw this when the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra performed it last night. I cried when that part came. It's just so beautiful.

[SammieeSaysRawrr]

@AloProject unless you lived in ancient rome..

[kerith98]

Riddler i play the f.horn im 13 ive played it since i was 9 im turning 14 in 2 months time and my school( 1 of the top bands in singapore) owns the hymn part

[kerith98]

No llol riddler it is treble

[TheEpicAvenger]

The section 2:55 to 4:43 is becoming mainstream with marching bands.Some bands plays this as a stand tune..........

[kssolider100]

YES SEAN

[kssolider100]

@AloProject WELLL. DUH

[seantherepub]

2:55 to 4:43 is the best.

[chaoscast]

if you close your eyes... you watch a movie inside your soul, "your movie" of life itself.

[viper3944]

you wierd pricks listerning to this shit i bet you are all geecky american fags who got bullied at school get a life your grown men listlering to kids songs sados

[cocacolaman3]

@viper3944 maybe if you didn't spell listening wrong twice, incorrectly spell geeky, and use a random word that means nothing at the end of your comment to say something really unintelligent, your comment would hold some weight. however, you're clearly nothing but a troll, so you're attempt to insult people who enjoy good music has failed. truly, the one with no life is the one who goes around trolling videos he doesn't enjoy. you need a new hobby

[viper3944]

@cocacolaman3 What the fuck, are you on about american if it was not for us english you would not even be speaking english get a life you are like 30 and listlening to star trek themes i bet you were little sados that live in your mums bacement and got bullied at scool you try to piss me off about my grammer and yet you call me a troll a mythicall monster that is not real fucking geeks

[biznock19]

@viper3944 goddammit man, learn english!

[OwenNicolaou]

@viper3944 Okay I'm British as well... no racism or ethinicism or anything intended here... but shut the fuck up...

It might be a good idea to get a clue about what you're writing before you post it...

This is not in Star Trek; it is a classical piece of music.

'Listening' only has one 'l' in it.

'Saddos' has two 'd's, because of the hard vowel sound.

A troll is a person who comments crap on the internet... it's not a mythical* monster in this context...

[viper3944]

@OwenNicolaou ohhhhhhhh the poor little wanka gets angry did you get bullied at school try it with me and il push your brain down your skull fake tought guy get the fuk otta here

@viper3944 The only one here without a life is you, spewing your retarded bullshit on the internet just for a cheap laugh. I suggest you get on with your life, and stop opening up fucking Youtube accounts to be a troll, you know God damn well what we mean by troll and I suggest you start LISTENING and pay attention to your English classes you might learn a few new things about the English language a
