SynopsisAmong the most popular and important modern British composers, Gustav Holst (1874-1934) was a true eccentric, given to odd enthusiasms and mystical musings. His spectacular symphonic suite The Planets , first performed in 1918, established his international reputation and remains a staple of the orchestral repertoire to this day. Scored for huge orchestral forces and a wordless chorus, the work is divided into seven movements, the music of each embodying the astrological and mystical qualities of a different planet. From the ominous, relentless march of "Mars, the Bringer of War" to the robust festivities of "Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity" and the weird, unearthly hush of "Neptune, the Mystic," the emotional sweep and innovative techniques of the suite have delighted and thrilled its vast audience ever since its spectacular debut. Musicians and music lovers alike will want to own this authoritative, attractively published and inexpensive full score., Spectacular symphonic suite, scored for large orchestral forces and a wordless chorus, embodies the astrological and mystical qualities of various planets.

Absolutely must have for serious orchestration/composition musicians.
Beautiful score from one of the masters of his time, very legible and complete, all parts for your orchestra or DAW if you are performing/studying these works. If you want an incredible performance example, google "Flash Mob Gustav Holst" and watch the video of the Berklee Symphony performing Jupiter, gives you chills.... As hard as it is to get accurate and complete scores, this is great, recommend to all.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
