Our High School band is playing this for our spring concert. Well, our version is shortened a bit, otherwise I's pass out halfway through the song. (I'm a tuba player)

@MrBiggaman It's never too late! You're welcome, Bill! :o)

@Steinedbybill Not between movements

The applause in "The Planets" comes at the end - 6 pieces later. Having seen it live twice myself, it does feel unnatural not to applause after "Mars The Bringer of War", but that's just the convention.

NO APPLAUSE?!?!?!?!

i know absolutely nothing about classical/orchestral music and am now having a long over-due delve into it. It's absolutely amazing, epic sounding and shame on me for not doing this years ago. I'm normally into indie-rock, drum & bass, hip-hop etc. My eyes are being well and truly opened!!

Holst, one of the best composers of all time.
-
@dannymaestro I guess it is all too relative... I was listening a lot of Tchaikovsky in the last days and started to think about how, sometimes, it sounds really close to the compositions, or maybe orchestrations, of John Williams music. Well, everybody has their influences, they are all great composers anyway. =)
-
@MatheusManentee John Williams is inspired by many composers, among those Wagner, Mahler and Holst. In many the ways the orchestration by Williams are very similar to Holst, but the melodies are more comparible to Mahler and Wagner. I can´t hear or read that much Tchaikovsky in Williams music, just slightly...
-
IMO John Williams sounds MUCH MORE influenced by Tchaikovsky than by Holst. It is like if The Swan Lake was intended to be the Star Wars Soundtrack. lol

I can see where John Williams got his inspiration from for the Star Wars theme.
