Sorry to say, but this is easily one of the worst renditions of Holst's Jupiter that I have ever heard. Typically, it is an inspiring piece with strong accents and feeling. With both a terribly-off tempo and a troubling lack of proper intonation, this orchestra disfigures the piece into sounding like an afterthought, rather than the climax of Holst's suite. As a longtime pianist and violinist myself, I do not underestimate the difficulties of performance...but this is severely lacking.

Great song, but perhaps this orchestra tackled a piece a little too challenging for their abilities.

@Informer3X Yes i agree there is no pitch control in the brass section. This is the worst orchestra i've heard play this piece of great music. Plus its really slow and boring.

The piece has a very unique instrument choice it uses instruments like the bass oboe

Very nice, and the college orchestra did an exceptional job! That's not an easy movement to play, even for a professional orchestra! Too bad you couldn't put all of it on here! The ending is awesome!

Thanks for the comment. I may do another version of this video at a later date and add more NASA/JPL video footage.
