The Planets
Album by Gustav Holst
The Planets is an orchestral suite by English composer Gustav Holst, completed in 1916 and first performed in 1918. The suite exemplifies early 20th-century orchestral programme music through vivid orchestration, distinctive modal and bitonal harmonies and strong rhythmic character, and it helped establish Holst's reputation while informing later orchestral and film scoring practices.
