Holst- Saturn, The Bringer of Old Age- The Planets Suite
Loading...
Uploaded by recordholdings on Feb 22, 2008
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.

This song, specially the last three minutes, is seriously the most euphoric music my ears ever had the privilege of receiving. This Holst guy is a sonic wizard, I tell ya.

"Partially because of this, he never wrote an eighth movement"
Incorrect. He never intended to, because Pluto wasn't discovered until several years after he completed the suite--in 1930, four years before his death.

How can music like this be forgotten today when it can make your (or at least my) hair on the back of your neck stand on end? It carries so much power and emotions, it gets to me even when im listening to it through headphones.

@hawrnball You can hear a lot of John Williams's work is influenced but the planets.

Perhaps the REAL reason Pluto isn't a recognized planet anymore is because Holst never wrote a song for it...

I don't know about anyone else but I can't but help hearing and visualising a gigantic clock going "tick tock" all though this piece.
