Beautiful... absolutely beautiful. This has got to be one of my favorite classical pieces of all time. My favorite segment has to be between 3:25 and 5:14. Slow, moving, almost romantic. Go Holst!

This section is the hymn "I vow to thee, my country". Never fails to rasie goosebumps for me.

Brings tears to my eyes everytime!

Always wondered the name of this Classic ever since i've Listened it from an Old Time A.M. Radio Broadcast Intro, in my Opinion, this Orquestral Wonder is what reminds me of a Picturesque 30's & 50's Art Deco interpretation every time i listen to it .

our high school Wind Ensemble is playing this song for our end of the year concert, only thing is we don't have a string section, so the flutes and clarinets have to cover most of that. I play the French Horn and there is only 3 Horns in our band :(

@saltykid1 , yes, and you can hear shades of the triumphal march at the end of Star Wars.

I may be wrong about this, but the 3rd clarinetist might of been in the BBC Proms with the Halle Orchestra as First, am i right or wrong? :s

I remember when I played this in orchestra (I was a second violin then) and completely enjoying it. It truly is one of my favorites to listen to and play from time to time. Oh how I miss playing in the orchestra. Unfortunately my studies prevent me from being a member any longer. Oh well, until the future, if we shall meet again.

@southwestguy223 I believe they can, but most choose not to because it weighs down their arm quite a bit -- however, that depends on the watch. Furthermore, chances are they don't when doing recordings because of the excess noise that the watch can pose -- again, dependent on the watch of course -- i.e. if it's a metal one that can move along the wrist.

[southwestguy223]

This may seem like a stupid question, but when a maestro conducts, can they still wear a wrist watch?

This is my favorite of the Planets by Holst...and Jupiter is actually my favorite planet too LOL 8-)
