English composer Gustav Holst composed The Planets between 1914 and 1916. The Birmingham premiere of the suite took place in 1918, fifteen years before Pluto was discovered. Though the Planets became by far the most popular work of Holst's and one of the most known pieces by an English-born composer, Holst did not consider the piece one of his finest. Partially because of this, he never wrote an eighth movement, though unexpectedly the IAU relegated Pluto from its status as planet proper in 2006.

Amazing peice of music. I have this on my ipod, i play it often and its my favourite track from the planets. Is this the original intended speed though? It sounds a little faster than the version i have.
HOW is it I downloaded this exact MP3 from the Amazon link that's right there on THIS page and You Tube is blocking my using it in my own video? You Tube you are freaking idiots.
That's exactly right. I do hate it when someone here's a piece of music only to say "this sounds like such and such.." only for you to tell them the music predates the shit they think it sounds like. Cretins.
