Journey to the Stars: The Planets
Album by Gustav Holst
The Planets is an orchestral suite by English composer Gustav Holst, composed between 1914 and 1916. The work, cast in seven movements that evoke astrological character rather than literal depictions, makes extensive use of large-scale orchestration, distinctive rhythmic drive and colouristic harmonies, marking a shift in Holst's compositional focus and exerting influence on subsequent film and orchestral scoring.
First released: 1994
