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

[MLOOTGIIVSATTIEXD]

I love Holst. I grew up with classical music, and this is one of my ALL TIME FAVOURITES!! I love this. Love Love Love it.

[moogul21d]

This is one of the most beautifully emotional pieces I've ever the pleasure to play in an orchestra. Every single rehearsal I got chills, it's that spectacular.

[mrsuperkoolkat1]

we are playing this in the all shore in termidiate band and i am 1st trombne :D

[CDPuffer]

poor poor Pluto... 

[XxSpiffxX]

@kookookimba I'm in this years region orchestra and we're playing this song very soon. I'm wondering if ill think the same..

[reyhighet]

i like this one.

[Turkishbirdtummy]

Thumbs up if you noticed that every time you attempted to go back on a certain time in this video, it starts all over. It's annoying -__-

[bambiuup]

@Turkishbirdtummy argh, ye i noticed that too!!!

[Mozart3150]

What about Earth? lol

[peacecupcake1]

it gets bad after 8:21 am i right or what

[awiorg]

if i could pick any song of series to go travel space it would be the planets suit

[Raklryja]

bits of this are mixed into my marching performance this year, among a bit of mars for maximum epic

[MysteryHero]

Alto Sax's are my instrument. We get to march Mars and Jupiter this year. Open with Also Sprach Zarathustra, then Mars, Jupiter, Feude in G Minor, then close with 1812 Overature. I can not wait.

[showfool]

@MysteryHero You have the same opening as us, lol. Also Sprach Zaruthastra+Mars combo :)

[aurashade86]

Cellos ftw! isn't jupiter in the reeces peanut butter cup commercial?

[Benderbot50]

@aurashade86 yes it is haha

[ThomastheE2engine]

Trombones FTW!!

[iisduncan]

neptune or mars is my favorite, jupiter feels cliche

[freshhh1994]

@kookookimba

You probably played an arrangement of the chorale section.

[RMG1234567890]

Out of the Planets I'd have to say Jupiter is my favorite... but Mars and Uranus are up there..

Really all 7 pieces are amazing

[RMG1234567890]

I'm gonna hunt down the 6 retards who disliked this... Anyone wanna help me?

[SincerelyRachelle]

@RMG1234567890 I do!! oh, and me and my orchestra are playing this in may for the six flags contest. :))) :D

[theonefoster]

Make links over the appropriate planets to the videos ;)

nice music, have enjoyed this since i was young.

[vampireskull16]

band started practicing this song on Monday, when they got to the chord at 0:22 the colorguard was like oow. But by pre-season they'll be better at it (: SHS Legion ♥ Planets 2010 Field Show

[fatcontroller70]

i love this suite i have many happy memories of my grandfather using this music as he made up stories to go with them unfortunately he has died and i miss him so thank u for this music

[trog044]

In my opinion (for what it's worth!) Holst and Einstein were both geniuses!

[trog044]

I equate Holst with Einstien - both geniuses!

[vedi32]

gives me shivers!!!

[aekhoo]

This Jupiter piece, or at least part of it was used in the film Conan: The Destroyer - in that sequence where they awaken that God-statue or something, I'm sure of it. Saw it right after Evil Dead II on TV. One of the most fun-filled nights of my life =P Gustav Holst rulz!

[whodaman5]

Keating!

[cadburycaramel]

the fast tune in the first 30 seconds, I wish there was more of that....

[MahOiKha]

i like part 3:10~

[holtsmere]

I enjoy this immensely and also like Tschaikovsky and Vivaldi. The problem is that my favourite form of music genre is heavy rock as delivered by the band Iron Maiden.

Am I unique is this world or just plain mad?

[Thesteadfast]

@holtsmere

You are not mad at all..... I'm obsessed with Iron Maiden and I love classical. Part of the Mars suite is at the beginning of Iron Maiden TV videos on You Tube

Search for Iron Maiden TV right at the beginning.

I freaked out when i heard it.

[RMG1234567890]

@Thesteadfast

yea i am obsessed AC/DC and 80's rock in general but

I love classical... I love how ALL music (mostly in rock) is based off of Classical..

[SurreyGirl01]

@alpinesx0

Maybe young people like myself don't 'understand' classical music, but we're just as able to engage with the music as you are. We can still feel certain emotions which this music evokes, we can sit down and enjoy this music, at least on an emotional level, if we're unable to analyse the technicalities.

[TheHiddenMole]

@SurreyGirl01 I would definitely have to agree with you here. I find that classical is far more emotional than most things associated with the youths these days. I will cry at a piece of music much easier than at a film, but I think that playing a classical instrument and loving it also helps.

[mjad1996]

i can play this on violin, clarinet and piano. Not at once, obviously.

[PuddleJumper27]

Our local youth orchestra is playing this movement for our next concert in the fall. Ill be principle horn and i don't know if i should be nervous or exited

[darksminky]

@alpinesx0 sehr wahr, mein Favorit ist Holst bei weitem

[ciliaspippi]

I love how you speak about classical music, and swear your head off... what a duality!

Your antics made my day.

[ciliaspippi]

I am wondering if you actually speak German......

[R2D2ThreePO808]

i get to play this song for my school band... i play the trombone though. no meledy for me when its the baritones time to shine. =( but overall its fun yet challenging

[darkmortality]

@R2D2ThreePO808

eh trombones don't usually ever get anything cool.

[R2D2ThreePO808]

@darkmortality i kno. but we do get some good stuff to play that is for us.

[mrturkey23]

Our band had to play the coral from thise piece, hard music. Beautiful sounding.

[RavenHairedMaiden]

"Jupiter- Bringer of Jollity" is my favourite of the Planets Suite. It's so majestic and proud, exactly as Jupiter is. It brings tears to my eyes whenever I hear this beautiful piece, especially the main and most famous theme in the song. Absolutely amazing, it really does bring Joy to the heart as the title of the song states.

[EddieKat]

For some reason whenever I listened to this years ago the part that starts at 3:06 always made me pretty much cry. It's just so emotional and beautiful. Jupiter is, I think, the only real piece of classical music I could say like but it's just breathtaking.

[R2D2ThreePO808]

thats the melody for baritone. my friend can play it super good. when i hear him play. i get goosebumps cause its sooooo good.

[GABBYFAN]

Fantastic music.

@ Fellstar overlord. It's not a song as there are no freaking words !!!

[eggoo11]

alright calm down

[TrueLink1]

Dude, a song doesn't have to have words, it has to have a melody.

[FellstarOverlord]

This song is just epic. Jupiter for the win, hosers!

[slywolf70]

This is my favorite right next to mars

[CiG801]

Absolutely incredible music to absolutely incredible planets beyond our comprehension. This sends shivers down my spine.

[clayzee001]

cool song i wonder if it would go well to some fat guy running to mcdonalds lol

[HuggumsMcgehee]

Never thought of that. Hmm...

[lostcuzafungus]

if you shot a missle at jupiter would we have another sun?

[pandabearbecca]

jupiter is my fav of the planets!! we're playing mars and jupiter for our spring concert!

this has such a pretty melody all thoughout!

i ♥ it!!!

[mopperson101]

@pandabearbecca were also playing those and Venus there all so amazing :)

[neofreak10]

at my school we're playing mars, jupiter, and venus for our concert : ) it's kinda hard, but this song is really fun XD

[angeanddelaney]

so are we! is it like, a mix of all three?

[neofreak10]

kinda! like, first it's mars, then venus, then jupiter ^_^

[tijuanamarisol666]

@neofreak10 at my school we're playing mars, jupiter, and uranus. I'm second clarinet xD

[Drexisoi]

saria's song!

[stiffmajjthegiant]

@stiffmajjthegiant

never mind, I got it confused with "The Orgy" from the conan soundtrack.

[TendancyToFloatAway]

I remember the first time I heard this symphony. I fell in love with it.

Mars made me shiver.

Venus made me cry.

Mercury made me smile.

Jupiter pulled on my heart strings.

Saturn put me to sleep.

Uranus woke me up.

Neptune gave me dreams.

I feel like the symphony was written specifically for me. I love it.

[Dailyhshhsh]

nicely put.

[pollypepper60]

Love it ...even my mad kitten Ollie has curled up and been quiet for once.What more can one ask

[valeo626]

@TendancyToFloatAway your heart strings? are you a puppet?

[crazydaisy011]

@TendancyToFloatAway I love that effect that this suite has on you. :D Jupiter does pull on my heart strings, so I agree. :D

[archer49d]

@TendancyToFloatAway It's a Suite.

[silentwulfsfan]

@TendancyToFloatAway I Jizzed towards the end.

[SweetZombiJesus]

@TendancyToFloatAway "Uranus woke me up", lol my GF said that to me once.

[blondiepianist]

@TendancyToFloatAway

Sigh...Another romantic. I'm not alone. :)

I love this piece too.

[terentii]

@TendancyToFloatAway I was seventeen, and my older brother had just added it to his collection. I fell asleep with headphones on listening to another record and was semiconscious when "Mars, the Bringer of War" came on. The dreams I had while it played were beyond description; I wish it had been possible to photograph them. To this day, I remember tossing and turning and finally waking up in a cold sweat after the last few bars had sounded.

[rogerthat155]

pluto is round but does not yet have a burning internal core ( i think lol.... i aint been there! ) and as such does not have an electromagnetic pole, creating an atmosphere that can create fusion and burning of chemicals onthe surface, resulting in life, consciousness.

imo, pluto, is a planet!!! because its round!! that means give it a mill years or so and itll be close enough to the sun to get some heat flowing through it and voila, its one of us!

[CiG801]

@rogerthat155 It's alright Pluto, I'm not a planet either..

[rogerthat155]

a thumbs down for this??? why not kick me in the gonads for making u a cheese sandwich too u bastards.

[xXTHEDOUCHEBAGXx]

I'm allergic to cheese you ass, of course I'm giving you a thumbs down.

[rogerthat155]

emotions we are uncomfortable feeling for some reason are commonly referred to as cheese in this world. by block heads with issues like you at least. dont bring them to me. i have no emotional issues of my own, its why i am the target of people like you and your jealousy. no feeling is 'cheesy' to me.

[china0100]

yeah me too, it's the red dot on jupiter

[lvclint]

I can see my house!

[RKrysen]

I remember my first time ever hearing anything of "The Planet Suite".

It was in high school band and we were trying to play music that wasn't pop.

Since our band sucked, we didn't play the whole song, just the part from 3:05-5:17.

I remember looking through the teacher's score at all of the parts (Sight reader here!) and thinking Not bad. We played it, bombed it, moved on.

Listened to it at home, blew my mind.

It fills me with such inspiration and drive to go out and spread happiness.

[rogerthat155]

yes my friend, music is very strange, the effect of vibrations of different pitch and frequency on our emotions and bodies is VERY strange. something im not sure if there has been much scientific research into the field of lol

[guppybearlol]

can anyone said me a euphonium part for this song?

[china0100]

very nice music, i'm playing this for the region symphany concert

[oxLittleMissNJxo]

I play Second Violin and this is challenging D:

[abbeclarinette]

I preformed Jupiter from the Planets about four years ago and I still love it!!!!

[G0dlyz]

French Horns FTW!

[tokyomop]

Can I get a what what ?

[RMG1234567890]

@G0dlyz

yea i played this Senior year in band... after all the upbeats from the Marches it got boring playing French Horn but when my Band Director pulled this out it made playing French Horn kick ass... this and the Holst Suite in Eb 

[Glitch5222]

@RMG1234567890 I play euphonium. One of my best friends is a french horn player and our band director gave us First in Eb last year and Second in F this year... we both love them and he can't wait for this. I love Holst

[Glitch5222]

@RMG1234567890 Now that I head the Euphonium melody part I can't wait either. It's time to beg him.

[RMG1234567890]

@Glitch5222 yes Euphonium is a great instrument and my personal favorite to play (I can play any Brass Instrument) i love the way it sounds... and DO IT BEG FOR THIS OR MARS IT'LL BE WORTH IT!!! XD

[Glitch5222]

@RMG1234567890 I can play low brass for now. And I would be happy to help track down those six people. XD

[explosiveholes3]

Very energetic and complexed,beautiful,really feeds the soul a feeling of hope,excitement,and most of all its great joy this man was a genius

[falcon731boy]

euphonium part at the beginning is pretty ridiculous, why would they make us play the woodwind part ~_~, well, I guess I'll get it eventually, since it's only the first day I got the music

[allykat2727]

i love this song! we play this in band but the clarinets and saxophones have my horn part. :/

[gtfranchise1]

this should be on rockband lmao

[CelloBoy13913]

what?

[meghantasticyo]

We're playing this in band[: I love it.

[ciaconne90]

i dont get it...how is venus higher than jupiter? i thought jupiter would be the more popular....

[Mosquitox216]

Because there's another Jupiter video... and Venus is a Feature Video :O

[cookiegurls]

3:00 is where the "beautifulness" begins -- we start there in our band, because the entire piece is just too freaking long. but i love this song. it's amazingly amazing. i haven't checked out mars yet, though.

[Forestthunder]

My wife is going to walk down the aisle to this part of the song on our wedding day.

[boshiba1]

thats awesome

[Sapphiregriffin]

we playd mars in our band last year-intermeadiit-7th grade!

[Boxofscorpions]

Class piece of music, really makes the hairs on ur neck stand up

[linkfreak1694]

amazing!

[Daterin01]

does anyone else hear parts of what sound curiously like saria's song from legend of zelda in this?

[IRLpirate]

Damn, now you said that I can't get it out of my head : (

[Knerdzilla]

I hear it! Jupiter probably inspired it. :)

[abucketofpotatos]

That song was heavily inspired by this you hear alot of it in zelda

[LAURENDESTROYS]

i play flute too,

and we're playing this for our fall concert.

and let me say, we have ALOT of work to do.

this is definitly a challenging piece.

[naruto3k5]

we are playing this in band conjoined with the strings

[cellofellow1223]

Great recording.

[Jontimpala]

i love this! we're playing it in wind symphony as a band piece but so far i haven't been able to play much of it..... i play flute

[SuppaFlyPie]

This song was playing at my school's football game, lol. xD

[IQuiteLikeCookies]

LOLWHUT

[darthsage13]

its funny that that is a terrible comment, but it sounds exactly like something my brother would say lol

[Composer214]

This is by far my favourite in The Planets Suite

[BurningMonkeyStudios]

no shit! jupiter's is everyone's favorite!

[Composer214]

Some people might prefer Mars, hmmm?

[giantsquidopolis]

honestly, the majority of people who like Mars the best haven't heard the rest

[Sapphiregriffin]

huh this doesnt really sound like an acid planit TT isnt this from some 80's indiana jones thing? gah dont get it into my head i geuss but mars is just so much more exiting.?

[cellofellow1223]

Mine too. Though Uranus is pretty badass too. In stark contrast I really like Venus too.

[TrannyKing109]

we played the slow bit in the 7th grade; our teacher played a recording for us and it made me tear up. i just realized how long ago that was. :'D

[vitaminc52]

i am in 8th grade and my orchestra sounded almost as good as, this, but we did have two of the best hs french horn players in the country

[stridegumrox]

I'm not sure whether you were aware of this, or whether it was intended, but what you just said came out as criticism.

[90arni]

That depends... He could be an eight-grader, but that doesn't say anything about the rest of the orchestra. It may be a professional orchestra trying to get young musicians into classical music.

[stridegumrox]

What? That wasn't what I was getting at at all.

[90arni]

I'm sorry I misunderstood you, I see what you meant back there now.

[stridegumrox]

Yeah, no, it's okay. It happens.

[looney1023]

Best slow section ever!

even with a dramatic slow part, an upbeat happy part, and a crazyish (in a good way) bridge between the two, it can capture joy so perfectly!

[TotzthePlaid]

The section that begins at 3:04 is one of the most beautiful bits of music I"ve heard in my life!

[jazzimages]

Absolutely!

[Flazzenzap]

They use this in the movie The Right Stuff.

[Gerbilsftw]

It's ironic that Jupiter is seen as the planet of joy, seeings as it's probably the most hostile planet in the solar system when you get past the clouds.

Fantastic piece of music!

[OrpheusXTheXGOD]

they are all deadly just depends how you want too die lolz

[beanjavert]

What about venus?

[chunksofcheese6686]

You know that Jupiter's strong gravitational force is believed to have been protecting the earth from possible harmful space debris ? So, as long as you stay on earth instead of passing the clouds, it is our guardian angel. And it seems to be the most colorful planet, thus joyful to look at.

[joshNgab]

this sounds familiar but i never knew what it was called or who composed it

[moonwatcher1967]

don't they use a bit of it in close encounters ?

[gembieminx]

my family always used to play this when we put the christmas tree up...brings back memories :o) its such a festive piece of music!

[Nemacyst117]

beats cheesy xmas songs

[remnock]

0:20,1:00, middle, and 5:40-end,(basicaly whole song) FTW.

[danmist]

There are 2 great songs that use parts from this- The Prophet by Yes and (more obviously) Joybringer by Manfred Mann's Earth Band. Excellent music both of them.

[Polainsky]

At 3.10 during this it sends shivers down my spine...

[twilightluver545]

the part at 1:40 sounds like it could be on pirates of the carribean! lol!

[TheClassicalCritic]

Holst has captured Jupiter very well in this piece. Ofcourse, Jupiter is the largest of the planets and this is recognised in this piece as it is more flamboyant and grand compared to the other pieces from the planets suite.

[RMEC2010]

this song is awesome.....my youth symphony played it like a year ago......it was EPIC!!!!!

[velocifossa]

sounds like something from the old godzilla movies

[FullmetalCommunist]

I thought the reason there's no eighth or ninth pieces was because Holst was using the medieval concept of the seven heavenly bodies. The descriptions of each plaet seem to match those that were given back in those times.

[KaitainCPS]

That's right; Holst's prism is really that of astrology, not astronomy.

[EgoTrippin3000]

there is no Pluto because Pluto was discovered in 1930 while The Planets was composed from 1914 to 1916 ^^

[Ackbarfangirl]

Didn't some other composer write Pluto and add it on to the suite? After Holst was dead, I guess.

[chaosbringer127]

Yeah...but it doesnt' count since its not by Holst.

[dare2dream0728]

and since Pluto is no longer a planet, Holst had it right to begin with :)

[Shankovich]

Ah this is my favourite. I can hear so much Star Wars in this lol. It's just happy and adventerious, and he really captured that feeling in Jupiter :)

[KaitainCPS]

Williams lifted certain sections from The Planets almost wholesale.

[unijade]

Just what I was thinking, I can imagine it to be something from Star Wars or Star Trek TOS. Is this where John Williams and other composures of Space-related musics took their inspiration from? This man must have really been ahead of his time, music-wise!

[EthanFilms]

You'll hear alot more in Mars...

[twilightluver545]

the part at 1:40 kind of sounds like it could be on pirates of the carribean (im not saying that it was)

[twilightluver545]

this is my fav planet composition from holst

[monarkc]

A part of Conan the Destroyer soundtrack can be heard here and Hammerheart a classic from Viking metal band Bathory

[Thonohuil]

I think what you mean to say is a part from this can be heard in them. Im fairly sure this came before them. :p

[monarkc]

of course ;p

[ShellShokdDan]

This piece makes you look at Jupiter from a completely different perspective compared to the typical description of it being "huge."

[djenbhoy]

whoa!

[alvarez4500]

REESES PIECES

[FullmetalCommunist]

CANDY? FOR BREAKFAST?

[mcrfreek89]

LMAO! I thought of that right in the beginning....I can't believe they used this...although you do have to give them credit....they picked a darn-good song to use! ^_^
