The Planets, Op. 32

Album by Gustav Holst & Hansjörg Albrecht

The Planets, Op. 32 is an orchestral suite by English composer Gustav Holst, completed in 1916. The suite uses colourful orchestration, modal and chromatic harmonies and contrasting rhythmic characters to evoke astrological figures, and it influenced subsequent approaches to large-scale programme orchestral writing in Britain.
