The Planets

Album by Gustav Holst

The Planets is an orchestral suite by English composer Gustav Holst, completed in 1916. Scored for a large symphony orchestra, the work employs varied orchestral colours, bold rhythmic ideas and modal harmonies rooted in late-Romantic and early 20th-century idioms, and it occupies a central place in Holst's output and the development of orchestral music that later influenced film and concert scoring.
First released: 2001
