HOLST - Saturn from "The Planets Suite"

[puresweetness19]

I love Gustav Holst, he was a great composer, genius in fact. Until recently I didn't know he was British.. Added to favourites.

[ReznasHits500s]

Looks like Chuck Norris ate off a fourth of Saturn's ring...

[ChristopherHa93]

totally just blew out my speakers...

[rainyday219]

Saturn is my favourite planet other than Mother Earth. Go Saturn, age all the other planets except Earth!

4:00 had been used on a BBC program of dinosaur.

[puresweetness19]

@gr4l9um20b7o Your right, it was used in the BBC dinosaur program. I knew I had heard it before some where.. well spotted. :)

[OpusOneTwoFive]

It's sick how good it sounds with the accidental electronics. 

[DemonicSymphonic]

That sound anomaly sounds so good together ahaha

[ramert12]

Sounds so cool love the planets suite.

[geriatricjohn]

5-44 to 6-20. LOVE IT.

[mooglisxbg67000]

Well this track has a large dynamic though his low quality I'm surprised

[slugworth99]

Just found your set of uploads for the Planets Suite. Thanks, ensimon, these are fantastic!

[rspence1234]

i really like the transpose around 7:01, it sounds very pretty! i got to listen to this entire suite live once.

[21centuryg]

@rspence1234 That part and the end of this piece is what i live for

[tcoreyb]

Ah.. Saturn.. so cold, so beautiful. The old man chained underground by his upstart son. The Titan.

Saturn is really the f'in coolest planet, and this is my favorite of the "Planets" by Holst as well.

[rcbpiccolo]

This reminds me of "The Black Hole"

[TheNoobsauce1337]

Maybe when I get old enough I'll have rings around my head, too. That'd actually be pretty friggin cool, if you ask me. Just walk into a public place, "HEY! What's happenin'!"

[Hakeruto]

Lemme guess,This was taken by the Voyager 2

[TakeBackTheWorld]

@Hakeruto

My guess is CGI

[audioglass]

Anyone noticed the 4 notes of the main theme from Waldteufel's Skater's Waltz are in here at 2:25? What an amazing difference in outcome. Waldteufel's Skater's Waltz is so chirpy and lovely. Quite the contrary to Holst where he goes from those same notes to a full on intense uproar of sound. I love it. Holst you master!

[CHlRS]

@audioglass yeah!

[ZigfriedVonSchroider]

this is my fave of the nine planets suits <3 so lovely melodie. and dramatic at same time.

[Pentalaimon]

This reminds me of the ominous theme playing when Nostromos lands on the alien planet and starts exploring the Derelict.

[averyms]

I hate when they rush through it. This is meant to be played much slower than this. However the feeling of armeggedon is sensed.

[Niko2100]

Thanks for messing up the file. I ain't supposed to sound like that.

[ensimon]

Hehe! It was too late to fix it!!

[derBene]

I wonder what instrument that upcoming rythm is at 5:44? It sounds electronical to me, that's why I'm surprised.

In general: great stuff :D

[ensimon]

It's the soundtrack of the documantary shown, I afterwards realised that I hadn't muted it!!

[derBene]

Whoa, you really kinda messed it up ^^' But I like it this way.

Still, don't you like to add that to the video description? Because there are probably more people who think the sound belongs there. I'm glad to be aware now that it's not the "real" saturn track :)

[melbell333]

@ensimon It almost works though doesn't it? DJ style mashups of classical and electronica. It's the next musical frontier.

[fpdotmonkey]

@derBene I believe it's a harp

[derBene]

@fpdotmonkey Ah, I can imagine that. :)

[AMAZINGDOG402]

@derBene I think that's a string bass, but like he said, it was from the documentary shown, it actually makes it sound cooler.

[derBene]

@AMAZINGDOG402 I think so, too. This is probably blasphemy but I'd like some good remix of the Planet Suite. ^^

[UnchainTheNight1]

@derBene That is absolutely an analog synthesizer. Someone must have added it in.

[VELOC1RAPT0R]

what sim program did you use to make this video!? It looks pretty cool I'd love to cruise the universe

[ensimon]

It's named "Celestia"-2004, it was offered as a bonus in a PC Magazine, but I suppose there has been several updates since then!

[JimmieHeaven]

XOXO

Saturn the bringer of old age. Great piece.
