HOLST - Jupiter from "The Planets Suite"

[LSKITHEBAND1]

this is all too fast for my taste

[HCPXelnagaY]

excellent piece, beautifully performed... dont like the beginning quite as much though.... feels too choppy, personal opinion though

[Vonzaku]

3:10 *sheds manly tears*

[tmz714zmt]

3 people live on Saturn.

[vigiliusmaro]

Very enjoyable. Thank you.

[TheTravLW]

This makes me proud to play the French Horn. I cry at 3:10 every time. 

[iain075]

@TheTravLW with you on that, full of melancholy isn't it?

Also a bit RWC World in Union if you've not heard it.

[MsFran97]

I've had this stuck in my head all day now I'm going blast it out the speakers in my house. Hope my neighbours like it :D

[TheDarkJokerknight]

3:08 goose bumps every time!

[HannahEmDavis]

@TheDarkJokerknight same :3 absolutely beautiful piece

[musicislanguage13]

and the glorious French horns make it even better! XD 

[musicislanguage13]

wow...there's not much I can say about this piece (otherwise this page would be filled!) but...I love looking at the stars listening to this :) it's so inspirational and SUBLIME! XD

[HARRYPOTTERFAN1XD]

also, this is my favorite piece from holst about the planets, it's so curious and energetic it just makes me wanan dance on a table! XD

[musicislanguage13]

@HARRYPOTTERFAN1XD or dance anywhere, for that matter! XD

[HARRYPOTTERFAN1XD]

wow, we just got this song in orchestra class, and i'm a cello :D THIS SONG IS SO DAYAM HARD XD but fun

[AiorosSagittarius]

Wow, what a rich sound in this version. I LOVE THIS PIECE! From Holst's planets I love Jupiter, and like Uranus and Venus. The others... not so much. Nothing against peaceful pieces, but the beginnings of Mercury and Saturn are barely audible. So... go, Jupiter Uranus and Venus!

[GleekFan42]

This is one of my favorite Holst songs :) I'm 14 and all of my peers think that I am weird because I listen to classical music all the time. I tell them they don't know what they are missing out on :D

[musicislanguage13]

@GleekFan42 ha ha you told them! ;D

[Drakelx555]

3:08 Queen Elizabeth I Peace Theme- Civ V.

[DOHEHEN]

MUY BUENA DE `PIEZA

[iamcosmical]

this is good, but i liked the mystic and mellow neptune planet suite better. ;)

[itskristenk]

I get chills listening to this, it is so beautiful!!!!

[tomy00125]

Some parts of this suite make me wonder if John Williams got his inspiration from Gustav Holst

[Paradoxifyannate]

@tomy00125 He actually did. Almost all of Williams songs are based off of the planets suite somehow.

[tomy00125]

@Paradoxifyannate That's pretty cool. Williams is another great composer

[Bubo25]

@tomy00125 Williams got most of his influence from Wagner, especially for Star Wars.

[shiningbloom9]

The vocal part is called "Homeland". It was Princess Diana's favorite song, and was played at her funeral

[judohorn]

3:07 Braveheart soundtrack :)

[Darchyism]

Such a great piece - must be my favourite in the whole suite. Thanks for the quality and again the upload ensimon. For those playing or learning to play this in orchestras - kudos!!! xx

[KaylaNikkoleILY3]

i played this on 6th grade and loved it(:

[owend28]

we had to listen and draw wat we saw in school and to this song i draw a game of quitij from harry potter

[SydneyRawrz]

Playing this for Orchestra :)

[12jarrsteve]

3:06----This is what we are playing for our Spring Concert and our Contests this year in band with only 1 flute, 1 saxophone, 3 clarinets, 5 percussionists, 6 trumpets, and 2 trombones. Best part--I've got the lead and I play Alto Saxophone.

[tennotes]

jackstraw get lost and take your ignorance with you. You need to put your "rhymes" in the recycle can. Maybe a "poem" as great as this piece of music will turn up. Of course, you just meant to shock us, but guess what? We have already been shocked many times before. I hope you listened to the music. Thanks ensimon for uploading this.

[SemanTomas]

3:07 my nominee for european hymn ;)

[Sandra377]

@SemanTomas I think England nicked that for the rugby already ;)

[kibapikakurouran69]

3:05 is my favorite part. Thumbs up if you agree :')

[legallucy]

This is my shit

[ykarpov]

Thank god for Hickox and the LSO- this is by far the most passionate, heartfelt recording of this piece I've heard on youtube.

[Panzerkampf1995]

Amazing truly Zeus is content with this piece as am I for i am playing it

[amplifiedwhiteguys]

who else thinks at 2:39 it sounds like star wars stuff! :)

[laughwhore47]

@amplifiedwhiteguys John Williams used this for inspiration for many of his Heroic Marches. If you Listen to Mars, Bringer of War, you hear that it sounds much like John William's Imperial March.

[alexbernstein]

@amplifiedwhiteguys In fact, Star Wars sounds like The Planets... Well, I love both anyway.

[TheGamer4569]

greek greek greek i freaking out and im a gamer check out my vids even though they suck'

-_-

Asian happy face ^-^

[kerith98]

i wanted to flag this for awesomeness

[pokekidpokekid]

We will always be loyal to Central Crossing High!

[TTheAvidOrange]

How can anybody dislike this piece...shame on you

[HollinsShaker]

spine chilling!!

[45step54]

Jupiter has so many moons that impossible to show them all. :D In fact, some moons are probably undiscovered. This video just shows the major moons. No wonder! Jupiter has 63 moons to keep him company. In Roman mythology, Jupiter had tons of wives. :P

[kerith98]

@45step54 lolz u forgot to add greek mythology he also had many wives

[hellmaker3]

@45step54 lol jupiter must be a pimp if he got 63 wives

[laughwhore47]

@hellmaker3 Not so much a pimp as an increadibly horny playboy.

[laughwhore47]

@45step54 He had one wife, Juno, and many lovers. But I get what your saying.

[Sandra377]

@45step54 64 last count I read :P Who cares, maroon me on Io and I'll be happy :D

[45step54]

I'm thirteen and play violin. My orchestra is playing this!!!! So epic! I just got the song today, but I love it already!

[Damnblastify]

@45step54 In music, a song is a composition for voice or voices, performed by singing. Show me the voices in here you fucking retard!

[45step54]

@Damnblastify My apologies. I meant piece.

[MrDando87]

@Damnblastify Your a nice person arent you.

[PVR1962]

@45step54 Good taste Have you vewed the words of I vow to the my country Set to this work, However consider 2nd verse. A reference to kingdom of haaven maybe.

[PVR1962]

@PVR1962 Trust your musical talent lrads to a career in popular or classical music. Or maybe the statement should be rteversed

[whatsername516122]

I'm so excited to play this for honor orchestra! It's one of my favorite pieces! My part is super hard though. I play oboe so I have to play the part where you play 3 notes repeating but they're sixteenth notes.

[SpikeballUnion]

Even though I'm a lot more into dubstep, I confess.

[ablougabla]

@SpikeballUnion I listen to classical, dub, and metal dude no sweat

[SpikeballUnion]

This has to be one of my favourite classical pieces.

[theredhackle22]

WTF ?

[FoxAttaak]

1:59 Jupiter has a cat's eye!

[ayraofwinter]

I'm a thirteen year old trumpet player and I absolutely LOVE this song! We play it in my band class :)

[FluteRocker99]

I'm 12 and I play the flute, when I first heard this song from another orchestra at my jr. fest concert I fell in love with it, when I was lookin for swan lake on the internet I've seen this book that had the sheet music in it so I went to buy it and when I looked through the pieces it had in it I was so suprised It had it in it and since then I can't stop playing it :)

[hoezie46]

I play the theme on trumpet. I really love this piece, because is showes more than jollity. It also showes the beauty of music. I fell in love with this piece the moment I heard the original.

[connaisons]

This brings me jollity indeed.

Well done, Holst.

[LizzieandNico1216]

I know not many people my age which is 13 would like this kind of stuff but it is just epic

[dianalee84]

@LizzieandNico1216 Isn't it? My parents always listened to classical music,and I'm really glad they did, so I grew tolove it. If you want to try a really beautiful music and ballet,try 'Sheherazade,by Rimsky Korsikov'..the Kirov ballet have a beautiful utube video to watch,the ballets basically about the slaves in a mythical harem having a drunken orgy when the Sheik is away(it ends badly for them)but the music is so beautifull,and the costumes of the slave girls/men are amazing too.

[1233themaster]

@LizzieandNico1216 im 13 and i have to agree

[c00lguy63]

@LizzieandNico121 I am 12 and i love this.

[SuperSalvatore42]

Mi sento proiettato nello spazio sconfinato !

[Raph191]

3.50

[ejdines]

Reminds me of the ever-growing industrilization of the world, and how companies are able to mass-produce different products.

[blairgirl578]

we play a shorted version of this for our band... i come from a school were its cool to be in band. the only reason some people come to basketball games is to hear out pep band :) being an athlete also i find it funny..... Tenor Saxaphone

[romeodude89]

strangely my favourite piece of music ever written, great story telling, brilliant piece

[1233themaster]

I play this in my band. But it's a shortened version for marching bands. I almost cry when we get to the slow part. We also play mars. The band is garrard county marching lions. Look the show "cosmic" up on YouTube. Hopin to make it to Kentucky state finals

[KittehnkAt]

We played this song in my orchestra it was so much fun

[TheAceOf97]

I originally listened to this on a CD. When I heard it the violins at the beginning were slow like this. When I see other recordings the violins are extremely fast! I prefer this recording, mainly because of the tempo at the beginning. I also prefer the London Orchestra.

[MusicalChick99]

The hymn section is just plain gorgeous. It always makes my heart pound a little more and my soul just kind of... flutter :) This is one of my favorite symphonic pieces.

[bffmakenna]

i cry because i am happy when i hear the part from 3:08- 4:57.it literally melts my heart and soul. best piece of my ears have ever encountered :)

[oMeGaSoLjaX]

@bffmakenna I forget which hymn it's used in, but I love it as well. Especially around the 3:30 mark.. really special piece.

[fireknife]

@oMeGaSoLjaX It is called "two fatherlands" or "I vow to thee my country", absolutely amazing hymn and I say that as an atheist.

[oMeGaSoLjaX]

@fireknife Brofist. I never understand why theists question atheists liking hymns. I went to a private school and had compulsory chapel every Friday. I had to sit through a load of biblical bollocks every week and the hymns were the only things I liked. They don't seem to understand that religion =/= spirituality. I love churches, not because of their grandeur and general aura they command, nothing quite like it. Doesn't for one minute mean I'm going to start believing fairytales.

[SuperJump331]

Ive heard better recordings........

[knock4321]

Bravo!

[LunaMilkyWay29]

I adore 4:22 onward. Gorgeous

[LunaMilkyWay29]

I adore 4:22 onward. Gorgeous

[madmarioni10]

MASTERPIECE.

[imagnome123]

Why is composition of this calabre never seen anymore while the masses applaud Lady Gaga? I can feel Mozart, Bethoven, Holst and all the rest turning in their graves.

[jlmusicfan57]

@imagnome123 I feel the main reason, (at least in the USA) is that music appreciation courses are no longer taught in the public school education systems. Budget cuts have slashed most of the arts and phys ed. classes. So, the only exposure to music that kids get is what they hear on the radio! It's a crying shame! I was selected All-State regional in my junior year in h.s. and this is one of the songs that the regional band played. I played the french horn. Exquisite song!

[TomeOfBattle]

@imagnome123 Until they rise from the grave as invincible musical necro-gods, and devour all the fail "artists" of the modern age. Zombie Beethoven FUCK YEAH.

[BlogInclinedMusic]

@imagnome123 There's always been shit music, do you really think the majority of people ever listened to and appreciated Mozart? There's always a desire to mourn over the age we live in but I don't think much has changed. And don't underestimate the power of dance music... it's a different thing to appreciate! Either way I wouldn't have wanted my school to ruin music like they tried to with Shakespeare...

[imagnome123]

@BlogInclinedMusic I get your point. Still it is a shame there are no classical composers of this calibre around today.

[Mararda10]

I love this piece of music.

[bleefinson]

i love this song so much.

so complex

[Vincek88]

@VanillaSugar121 It's used in an episode of "The Venture Brothers" - a couple of henchmen also do an a capella version of "Mars".

[Conservative4]

Best find on youtube all week.

[drsanchezrodrigo]

Hoy Júpiter se ve genial. Y la luna al oeste en creciente.

[vaderbloke]

Great song...awful graphics...

[IntrepidPotato]

@vaderbloke

Dude seriously who cares about the animation... sides that program was made in 2004 nowadays if you had a recent program itd be much better

[foreversummer67]

i love this osng, its my favorite from the entire planets symphony, i can play it on piano and tormbone

[Diddleshot]

Beautiful, proud to find my CD of this, buried in modern day music crap.

[SuperTheguy1234]

@VanillaSugar121 reeses commercial

[LithiumFlower2009]

Holst = Pure genius.

What a shame to think so many people miss out on music like this because they are too busy listening to the likes of Justin Bieber.

Oh well. Their loss I suppose.

[HAT1701D]

@VanillaSugar121 Various parts of it are used in the movie The Right Stuff.

[krazyjuicedan]

@HAT1701D Yeah I think they used a bit of Mars in that film as well, around the same point.

[ANameBenDoesNotHave]

love this music...



[thedarkprince101]

Catherine?

[KaraMayonakaSora]

...So I was wondering what this song was! I've heard a few times on commercials and the like and I've always wondered what the full things sounded like.

[HiddenDataFilms]

Played this in High School last year. This song was crazy hard to play. I play this band. Talk about double tongue skills lol. Very awesome song though. But insanely hard song.

[heatherberghmans]

From 3:07 to 5:00 I want to cry and scream with joy at the same time, it's amazing.

[spanishaaron]

Starting at 3:07 is a Hymn Called " Let streams of Living Justice", The Hymn Tune is Thaxted.

[Damnblastify]

@spanishaaron Thaxted was written by Holst based on 3:07 onwards. It is and always will be, "I vow to thee, my country" after he adapted Jupiter to fit the words of Cecil Spring-Rice's patriotic poem of 1908.

[snuffembuzz]

Truly inspiring.

[Wigothe]

Shoutout to the Reese's commercial that this song was used in!

[carriebear175]

3:08 to 4:56 we played that part in band one year and i could just listen to it over and over again

[ChazWalser]

3:07-4:56 Reminds me of the theme from the movie, Mr.3000.

[damone3000]

lol reese's...

[pindbi]

Every now and then you have sit back and enjoy Holtz - he really hits the spot.

[dasparkylad]

You lovely little man Holst :) danke

[Ciaranmoll]

Starting at about 3:03 im sure ive heard this somewhere else? is it a seperate peice of music?

[Boyatsea]

@Ciaranmoll I Vow to Thee My Country.

[TacoSauce1992]

@Ciaranmoll It was later set aside and used as the melody of "I vow to thee my country."

It's a really beautiful piece.

[mooseycow11]

Is this used in Ben-Hur?

[chuckmax1701]

This is an absolutely beautiful piece of music.

[technicolour45]

I heard the song Hammerheart by Bathory, didn't realize Quorthon took the music from this and added lyrics to it. I flipped out when I heard this on the radio today haha.

[jackstrawfrmwchta]

I knew a black hooker named Jupiter. Compared to most sluts she was stupider. Almost as dumb as my backward bent thumb. I told her I'd pay her when I was done. She did her thing and made me cum. Slapped her good, n' away i run.

[firephoenix97]

the video reminds me of something i would see at the imax theater at da science center or something from futurama O.o

still very very awesum! thanx for da upload!

[firephoenix97]

the video reminds me of something i would see at the imax theater at da science center or something from futurama O.o

[bubbaw600]

this isnt just jupiter this is the whole planets peice

[Metalpupett]

I want to go to Jupiter now =D

[burritoking3000]

Most awesome piece of classical music period!

[burritoking3000]

awsome piece of music period!

[GregOBehave]

Music to rape by.

[sweetbabe520]

This is my favorite out of the whole suite ^_^

[ThunderfingersFan3]

This is why I became a french horn player. This song kicks ASS!!!

[teenqueen192]

Lovely.

[hondaccordriver]

Hi ensimon, I was just wondering if you could tell me where I could buy this recording from? I can't seem to find it under the record label you provided... Thanks!

[melskunk]

I remember they used to play this years ago on Space Channel (canada) 

[StopTheMoti0n]

hey ensimon how did you make this video? google earth?

[ensimon]

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

[foreversummer67]

@StopTheMoti0n wouldn't google earth view earth and not other planets?

[StopTheMoti0n]

@foreversummer67 actually you can view the moon with it, and as of lately (i think) you've been able to view Mars! come to think of it, though, we know a lot more about Mars than we do about Jupiter..

[Sketty64]

@StopTheMoti0n that could be taken as a very complex thought- since Mars is the Bringer of War. In other words, you are saying we know much more of War than of Jollivity, which could be both pessimistic and deeply philosophical... isn't the interpretation of speech amazing!

And they use part of it (Jupiter) during the Disney Train (the Grand Canyon part).

[StopTheMoti0n]

i wonder what it takes to get in LSO...

[ensimon]

I cannot answer this, but I have always been charmed by the perfect and strong sound of the London Symphony Orchestra, particularly by those recording-series of the Hallmark Classics-Innovative Music Products.

[bowlerdude]

@ensimon

I agree with you about the "perfect and strong sound" coming from this recording. Like at about 2:02, you can clearly hear the fanfare of the horns. I've never noticed this exciting detail in any other recording that I've had a chance to hear. Thanks for posting this great work.

[Ollfie]

@StopTheMoti0n Go to Oxbridge..... Read Music, Classics or Maths....and be an exceptionally talented muscian whether than be banjo, drums, harp, oboe, piano. Apply!!

[collabi]

@StopTheMoti0n Practice, practice, practice!

[TheNoobsauce1337]

@StopTheMoti0n Well, same as any other group or organization, regardless of whether it's business, music, recreational, etc., the basic question you ask is: "Do I possess, at the very least, the same capability as this group?" If you do, you've got a shot, but just remember, the LSO is amongst one of the best orchestras in the world, so if you feel that your sight reading, syncopation, dynamics and overal musical talent and ability is on the same level, well, there you have it. If not, well...

[octavine]

@StopTheMoti0n Look at their website lso.co.uk

[StopTheMoti0n]

great use or horn this composer has

[velcor]

@StopTheMoti0n

Considering Holst played the Trombone one could say he had some love for the brass section.

[spacepatrolman]

@velcor HOLST and VAUGHN WILLIAMS go together like peanut butter and jelly malcolm arnold played trumpet

[bigredtrombone]

Amazing horn solo 1:41

truely spectacular

[zog11]

God I love the LSO. Best recording of this piece I've heard.

[KittyAllChainedUp]

@zog11 The LSO is always flawless and never disappoints - quite a record!

[KitttyNeko14]

My favorite of all the planets in the suite :D

[AMAZINGDOG402]

@KitttyNeko14 because it's BIG like something else? oh yeah, I mean the Andromeda Galaxy.

[MrMasterDeath]

ugh I love neptune!!, that piece has so much mystery to it tho! :)

[JimmieHeaven]

XOXO

[jpalacio25]

some of the tempos at the beginning sounded kinda rushed. lol

[Kaishakunin47]

the best song out of Holst's Suite of the Planets

[estrangulator22]

Me too!
