  • THis is a piece which he composed for the British Military Band but unfortunately was far too contemporary for them. They loved the Suites in Eb and F which preseeded this. Although those suites are masterpieces, especially the first in Eb, Hammersmith outshines them. We are priviledged to hear a piece which the composer never actually heard himself, except in his head of course. It was not performed in his lifetime.

  • Gustav may be gone, but his legacy will endure forever, just so long as humanity does not forget what REAL music is!

  • Is there the motive of "of Science and Learning" of "Alzo sprach Zarathustra" used at about 4:10-? Did Holst respected R.strauss or "Zarathustra?" I couldn't catch any information on the web. Anyone who know something, please tell me! :)

  • I swear I've fallen in love with this piece.

  • This is the opener in my high school's marching band show, its alot shorter than this but still fun to play :D this along with 'Hymn to the Blue Hour' as our balad and Shostakovich, Symphony No.5 as our closer. God i love this years show. Go Pflugerville High Panthers.

  • Playing this for band :3

    Dang if this isn't hard!

  • I'm studying my part as I listen to this.

  • @360Alexrules08 The Concert Band I'm in at College is playing this.

  • great song, kinda long

  • @ThatGuyThisTime no. holst will always live in his music.

  • I composed a piece for piano about half a year ago that sounds SO similar to this, only most of it was in 9/8. Then I discovered a month ago that this existed. ARGH! Not only did Holst write this decades before I was born, he did it 100 times better!! Oh well. Now we've got Hammersmith - it's plenty worth it :)
