I. Jig: Vivace
II. Ostinato: Presto
Gustav Holst (21 September 1874 - 25 May 1934) was a British composer and was a music teacher for over 20 years. Holst is most famous for his orchestral suite The Planets.Having studied at the Royal College of Music in London,his early work was influenced by Ravel,Grieg, Richard Strauss, and Ralph Vaughan Williams, but most of his music is highly original, with influences from Hindu spiritualism and English folk tunes.Holst's music is well known for unconventional use of metre and haunting melodies.
In 1905, Holst was appointed Director of Music at St Paul's Girls' School in Hammersmith, London, where he composed the successful and still popular St Paul's Suite for the school orchestra in 1913.
St. Paul's Suite (Op. 29 no. 2) is a composition for orchestra. It was written in 1912, but due to revisions wasn't published until 1922.
The suite has four movements:
I. Jig: Vivace
II. Ostinato: Presto
III. Intermezzo: Andante con moto
IV. Finale (The Dargason): Allegro

God, those runs at 2:15... we're playing this in orchestra right now, and that is by far the hardest part of the movement.

Most amazing and beautiful piece, by Gustav Holst!!
-
@megavore97 I know rite? every time i hear this piece especially this movement i think of pirates and sailors
-
@megavore97 Zimmer and Badelt were going for a jig and did base the Pirates of the Caribbean main theme on this, so they should feel similar. The Pirates theme is also loosely related to theme from Crimson Tide, which Zimmer scored in 1995.
