@@eduardomiranda7094 There were no audition. Every year (except this year because of covid) there is a competition in the Amsterdam concert hall between the orchestras of about 12-15 high schools. Then after everyone performed before the judges you have rehearsal with all the orchestras together for the final piece and then you perform it. I went five years in a row and we played Romeo and Juliette overture, Swan lake, Jupiter etc. it's a really awesome initiative that let's school kids perform in a massive orchestra on a stage you'd normally never be able to play on.
Played the slow part for a fellow musicians funeral. So emotional. We will never forget him or that moment we shared. It strengthened all of us as a group and we will always miss him

I once read a comment stating something along the line of “my wife walked down the aisle to the music starting at 2:55” Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
That's my plan too. Getting a mini full orchestra minus the French Horns. I'd solo the French Horn part (I play French Horn) while she's walking down the aisle.
Dear Nick, since this is the Internet & you could be from anywhere in the world, please forgive me if I'm telling you something you already know, (especially if you are British). Here in GB the music from 2:55 is in fact a hymn called "I Vow to Thee My Country". In England we don't have our own national anthem (aside from the obvious National Anthem of "God Save the Queen"). All the other countries of Britain have a second anthem except England. Many people want to have "I Vow To Thee My Country" as England's secondary anthem & there have even been petitions sent to Parliament to make it so. (I think it'd be a good choice, especially at the moment, the words resonate for this country!). A second contender for the role of England's national anthem is "Jerusalem". Very worthy too, but I prefer the former for the reasons stated above & also as it has Holsts amazing music too! ;)
All these comments about how similar this piece is to something from a movie they saw or a game they played is a testament to just how influential Holst was.
+Noah Angott Yeah, I remember at about 2:01 I was like 'oh my god, this ... this sounds like the Moody Blues!' Come to find out, they were living next to Holst's house when they wrote that album. Which just ups the awesome factor for both, to me...
Amazing music choice in Bluey sleepytime, combined with stunning visuals and a beautifully delivered message it brought me to tears, and I'm a grown man with no kids.

In my senior year of high school, we played The Planets in both marching band and wind ensemble and these songs have stuck with me since. The utter beauty of these pieces nearly brings me to tears each time I hear them. It's so good to see the number of people on here who are as moved by this music as I am.
I was listening to this piece at maximum volume & my next door neighbor liked it so much that he threw a brick through my window so he could hear it better! I feel so honoured by their genuine appreciation for this masterpiece. 🎇
+The Talented Mr Ridley Rite of Spring was premiered about a year before this was published, so... I'm going to say it's more likely that Rite of Spring influenced this.
I heard this song when I was a child. When I was growing up, I kept singing this melody but still couldn't figure out where did I hear this. Now, I finally find this masterpiece, what an amazing moment of my life.
2:55 You step out of the spacecraft as it lands on unfamiliar terrain, after drifting for years through the endless expanse of space. After the Earth's demise decades ago, your family is one of many who have become refugees and pilgrims, searching for a new home, fruitless until now. You step out of the craft cautiously, breathing through the helmet you have on. Although the government has told you that this newly-discovered planet is hospitable for human life, you still doubt taking off your helmet, even though you can breathe this foreign air. All around you, you see humans pouring out of their spacecrafts- humans of every sort. Caucasians, Africans, Asians, Latin Americans. People of every race are staring in bewilderment at this new frontier. Humanity- fragile, sturdy, broken, beautiful humanity has found a place to live at last. Children are racing ahead of their parents, gazing in wonder at the majestic mountains in the distance and vast, unspoiled sky. Alongside you is your childhood friend, who has stayed with you since the collapse of Earth. They take off their helmet, smiling that familiar smile at you, taking a deep breath of the new air. "We're home now."
This is so beautifully written. I can feel all the feelings, especially with the swell of the music. As both a writer and a musician, this touches my soul. :))
And then, three seconds later, you land on this planet, trying to fight an unknown enemy, a ruthless one, and you are tasked to protect this planet. You try your best, only to fail. You lose your team one by one, then the last mission. You must get the package, and send it back. You succeed one time. Then you are left on this planet, and you fight, but you eventually get tired, and you die as you see this planet fall. Remember Reach
@@sawomirmiklas9422 Quorthon from Bathory thought of himself as a legend, so he added it to his own album to be played at his own funeral? Yeah, makes sense.
2:54 "I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above, Entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love; The love that asks no question, the love that stands the test, That lays upon the altar the dearest and the best; The love that never falters, the love that pays the price, The love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice."
And there’s another country I’ve heard of long ago Most dear to them that love her most great to them that know We may not count her armies We may not see her king Her fortress is a faithful heart her pride is suffering And soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase And her ways are ways of gentleness And all her paths are peace
2:54 - My favorite part: _I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above,_ _Entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love;_ _The love that asks no question, the love that stands the test,_ _That lays upon the altar the dearest and the best;_ _The love that never falters, the love that pays the price,_ _The love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice._ _And there's another country, I've heard of long ago,_ _Most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know;_ _We may not count her armies, we may not see her King;_ _Her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering;_ _And soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase,_ _And her ways are ways of gentleness, and all her paths are peace._
It's a British poem that was put with the music by Gustav Holst as it's lyrics to make a patriotic song: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Vow_to_Thee,_My_Country
@@hugejackedman7423 I vow to ther my country was based on this. Surprisingly, im one of the rare breed of people to have heard this version first before I vow to thee my country.
Wait until someone on this planet has enough money to send another probe to Jupiter, if their company's public relations department has any brains in it, they'll make an advertisement for the probe and have this as the background music to sweeping CGI footage of the probe passing by Jupiter and its many moons.
It completely kills the mood when you come here in the hope of listening to Jupiter, but you have to watch the silliest unskippable Old Spice ad of all time.
Played this piece with my band at Carnegie Hall last year and every time I hear 2:54 it sparks a bit of sadness knowing that I will never be able to be in that moment again :(
i know this feeling so well. each time i play a piece that i absolutely love with a band, i get goosebumps and that amazing thrill of performing it and will never feel that same feeling ever again. that's why i love performing... it's awesome being part of something so incredible
2:54 this brought back so many memories as a flute player playing this in band and i really loved this piece its the best piece ive ever played but it brought back sad memories as well since i dropped out of band but this piece makes me feel happy since i played this when i started out in band at high school
@@NeatoUnused I’m sure this looked pretty ridiculous out of context. This music was used in an episode of a children’s show called Bluey. Directly above my comment is a quote from that episode, my comment was the response from that same episode.
@@Saru12249 What a great show and I don't have kids myself but I'm the family babysitter. in past the grandkids now it's the greatgrand kids. I watch even when none are at my house. (lol) This piece of music is now on my favorites list. I'm so happy to have found , "Bluey" the tv show.
I actually heard this in forza horizon radio channel "Timeless" .first I thought the were playing battlefield theme (considering they were playing halo theme earlier )
I (trumpet) have a transscript of the chorale in the middle and I love it so much. Makes me almost jealous of french horns. Still some awesome trumpet parts to it though...
One day, when interplanetary travel becomes possible, there should be a tour of the Solar System for the general public. On the way to each planet, they should play every song in Holst's Planet's suite, in a way where the buildup of each movement is playing, and as the ship arrives at the planet, the emotional climax of each piece plays. Just imagine: 0:00-2:54 is playing on the way to the planet, as the pilot gives facts over the intercom about Jupiter, building up excitement. Then, he tells the passengers to take in all of Jupiter's glory at 2:54.
+holykiller1191 That would unfortunately involve traveling many times faster than the speed of light, requiring far more energy than the universe contains, for a visual spectacle that most planetariums could have created circa 1985. I'm glad to report that you can probably see your vision realized for a very small investment, depending on where you live.
I'm playing this song at the moment in the orchestra and it gives me chills everytime we get to 2:55. I think this is one of the best orchestral pieces of all all time. 😃🙏
2:54-4:38 is legitimately the greatest melody ever composed. It's perfect. I only hope I can write music even close to the quality of this masterpiece.
When I hear this song performed in person, my life will be complete. If I ever had the privilege to perform it, I'd probably just ascend to heaven right there on the spot.
I can for u. I played it for 4 years. Every graduation in high school. Made me cry when I heard it play at my graduation. By far my fav song I ever played
2:55 So so incredibly powerful. Utterly inspiring. To me it sounds like finally overcoming a tremendous obstacle and that satisfied but exhausted feeling when you finally, finally get recognised for your suffering
Playing 'The Planets' was so enjoyable in my highschool symphony orchestra, but Jupiter was by far my favorite!! We were awful, but I like to think we did Mr. Holst proud with Jupiter!!!
Yes I played a few of them as well while in high school. Mars was my favorite. And I love how the teachers tell you to just "fake it" for some of those crazy runs lol "Just everyone hit the last note together and loud!" haha
***** Yeah the cello part in this song has quadruple stops (plucking all four strings, with a different fingering on each) so it was like playing a guitar perpendicular to the ground. My hands hurt so bad after every performance haha.
Same high school orchestra experience here. I doubt we were that good, but we tried. I remember I was freaked out with my multiple parts (not too complicated but obvious if I screwed up) that started at about 1:10 - bells to triangle to tambourine back to bells - 2:09 was fun. It was one of the better auxiliary percussion parts I had. Most of the time I was counting measure of rest and getting busted with the rest of the drums...because our section was always getting busted for something - even if the trumpets started it...
+Rebel 420 it isn't so simple to teach yourself a musical instrument without a teacher. I'm a music major and before college I did not have a private teacher. I came a long way but to truly become a master of the craft you have to study under someone.
music is such a complex topic that you can't teach yourself and have the confidence that you're going to know you're stuff. you have to spend years studying and analyzing and even then, there's more to learn. you have to be trained in many different ways. your ears, your reading skill, your ability actively look at more than one part, how literally each note functions within the piece. this stuff takes immense amount of study and work to he able to compose something like this. definitely not something that is self teach able. I learned that the hard way.
My granny’s funeral was yesterday and this song was the opening song. It was the first thing to make me cry during the funeral. It was so so beautiful and I know she would of loved it 🙏🏻
I heard this song when I was in 7th grade and never forgot it. I finally found it again a few years ago; I was on Cloud 9 for a few days (haha). The horns are beautiful. The power of music is pretty amazing!
my school is playing it for part of our marching band show. it's so amazing. our show is about people who hear a signal from another planet and go explore it, and so far we've only learned half the show but it's really fun.
I cannot hear this song without remaining teary-eyed throughout starting at just before the 3 minute mark. The majestic beauty and swelling ecstasy...it just keeps getting bigger and more beautiful...like the music itself is weeping for joy. I don't know of any other piece produced in all of musical history that feels like this.
I agree, but a majority of the morons here refer to this "piece/movement" of 'The Planets' as a "song"!!! What a multitude of millennial fucking idiots we have to endure! I weep for humanity!!!
Sheet Music I got: *doesn't match* Video: *reaches **2:54* Sheet Music: *matches* Me: *realization moment* ohhhhhhh... Also, Me: *looks at a piano sheet of it online* You know who: *looks at violin sheet* Me: Now this makes sense!
Around three minutes in and I feel like I'm listening to a national anthem of some great nation. This is a wonderful piece of work and it my favorite in the suite, with Mars as a second. God bless you Holst.
My whole family are classical music lovers, when we hear the opening bars, we stopp whatever we are doing and everyone will whisper "it's Jupiter" and we listen in silence, each one of us in their own private paradise. On one occasion Jupiter interrupted a heated family argument, and at the end we all hugged each other the argument long forgotten.
+KariRae12 he probably played an easier arrangement. One of the orchestras in my high school tried to play the full version last year and lets just say it wasnt their best work. Granted, it was the lowest orchestra in our school (We have 5)
Don’t listen to the guy who says you made it up. I’m in orchestra and this exact thing happened to me too. Like not full-on crying but I definitely teared up. We were playing the Four Seasons by Vivaldi and we got to that really famous part that everyone knows where it’s like “da da da da, da da da da, da da da da DA, dada” and just with all of us playing at once it was so loud and I was right in the middle of it, it was almost like I could feel it going THROUGH me and it got to me. It felt amazing:)
BREAKING NEWS: NO COMMENTS ON THIS VIDEO ARE OF PEOPLE SAYING THEY WERE BORN IN THE WRONG GENERATION! Internet we have done it! We have sent all of those people back to the generation they belong in!
Because there was no generation. This was written in the fucking 1800s. EDIT: After a quick google search I found out it was written 1914. Oh well, close enough.
I never thought a brutal One-Punch Man Manga chapter would bring me here: (Update 187/ Chapter 144). This is the music Homeless-Emperor was playing while he was trying to kill Tatsumaki.
This piece was in a movie my dad and I watched together all the time. When he died in June I knew right away we had to have 2:54 at the funeral, so we did and it was stunning
The part following 2:54 makes me feel... complete. I just close my eyes and enjoy my private paradise while trying not to breathe with the rhythm. May no radio show I'm listening to ever play this while I'm driving. XD
2:55 is almost the very remanifestation of joy. Just...pure and simple. Something that lifts a heart from the dark thoughts...even if it is accompanied by this sentence. "I like Pizza, I want to have more of it."
I know marching band will never compare to the orchestrated version (maybe dci) , but the first time I heard this, I was in 6th grade learning the flute, and my brother's marching band played this. When I listen to them play it at state, I was moved to tears and my only dream was to play this. This piece is what pushed me to stay a musician and I'm so glad I get to play this in marching band five years later. I hope we get to inspire someone, like how five years ago, my brother's marching band inspired me.
Usually in orchestral pieces there are 2-3 sections that I really like listening to, but this one... I could keep jumping back and forth through the entire piece like "this is the best part. no this is the best part. No THIS is the best part!" And in the end, I spent an hour listening to it.
2:54 makes me look forward to being a father of a little girl and watching her grow up to get married and live a beautiful life and then I live out the rest of my days peacefully but with gradually worsening health issues finally to die with a smile on my face
Watch Bluey mate(best show for both kids and parents)(quoted best guide for fatherhood/motherhood)(shows the father of the year 2019, Bandit Heeler) Also The show Bluey features this song(Episode 26 season 2)
My future fiancée can plan our wedding however the hell she wants, so long as she allows me to have a full orchestra play 2:54 as she walks down the aisle, and 5:01 after "you may kiss the bride."
Just heard the Chicago Symphony Orchestra play the entire Planets piece. Jupiter was by far the best. Guest conductor Cristian Macelaru recently retired from the NY Symphony Orchestra.
I was recently listening to this while crunching through the snow on my way home, and I swear, when it came to the section at 2:55, I suddenly felt as if I were celebrating the end of the igloo wars that had raged far too long for humanity to recall; my comrades and I guzzling down unhelpful amounts of Goldschlager, clinking glasses with zeal, rejoicing in the glorious day ahead and pondering the future for the Eskimo people who had at last been liberated from their extraterrestrial captors. One of the most uplifting pieces of classical musical you will find. P.S. No drugs were harmed in the making of this story.
If you haven’t seen the kids show Bluey, and you like this song, if you are a parent you have to watch Sleepytime in season 2 💕 you will never see this song the same agin 💕
@@IndigoMouse64 I don't know when the show Bluey started airing on the Disney Channel & Disney Jr but I came across about 3 months ago & it's on another level with the storytelling & characters. Just all around awesome! I babysit a 2 almost 3 yr old. This & Coco Mellon stops her in her tracks and she'll watch and smile until both end.. I saw the episode this week with this piece of music & WOW!!! I rewound it to catch the title and saved it on my DVR. This is the 3rd episode that made me teary. The first was Chili was telling the story of how she felt when Bluey wasn't as advanced as the other babies in the group-that ending! So heartwarming! The 2nd was when Chili and the girls went to visit her father.This show is as good or better than many live action family comedy/dramas
Brian Tully According to the Star Wars DVD special features, George Lucas wanted a musical score for Star Wars that would be reminiscent of the late Romantic style of early Hollywood film music composers like Erich Wolfgang Korngold who, along with Max Steiner and Alfred Newman, was considered one of the founders of film music. Steven Spielberg then told Lucas, "The guy you gotta talk to is John Williams. He did 'Jaws' and he's the greatest composer in the world today." It was John Williams himself who was influenced by the works of Gustav Holst, specifically 'The Planets,' as well as other Hollywood composers like Jerry Goldsmith, James Horner, and Hans Zimmer.
The Bluey episode is S2 #0 titled "Sleepytime".I found out the name of the piece of music because I had the closed captioning on & they credited Gustav Holst the title of the piece. Made my day to be able to come here & find it for that reason.
It's odd how many people misclicked the "dislike" button. It's ok, guys! We know you just didn't notice your mistake.What a wondrous piece of musical beauty. I'll always love it.
2:54
"I have to go, I'm a big girl now."
And then come the tears
Bluey??

I love itttttt
2:55 “Remember I am always here for you, even if you can’t see me, because I love you.”
"And at that moment, there was not a single dry eye in the house of those who watched as they were hit in the soul like a freight train of emotion"

What's that from? Reminds me of Violet Evergarden episode 10.
2:55 to 4:40 is not only one of my favourite pieces of music, I think it is one of the best pieces of music ever put to paper.
Sounds a lot like the Shrek orchestral theme...
Nase Pybus this piece was written about 100 years ago doe. Shrek is love, Shrek is life, but Shrek aint a composer
Every time I listen to that section it makes me want to cry. It's the most beautiful thing I've ever heard.
I played this one year at my high school graduation, and I loved playing this part :)
This section never fails to give me goosebumps! It is such a moving and beautiful piece of music

You can hear where a lot film composers draw their inspirations from in The Planets. It's a true masterpiece.
Not just film composers; many video game composers do this as well. I love hearing the references in Super Mario Galaxy.
I hear a lot of stuff like this in games like Final Fantasy and Lost Odyssey!
At 0:25 I'm almost sure I can hear something very similar to the Ocarina of Time's main motif...
Geez yeah.. At 1:47 for example, It's pretty much one of Conan the Barbarian's ost. Although Basil Poledouris is awesome on his own.
basically Star wars ripped mars so hard and is in clear denial lol
NASA should've played this as Juno arrived in Jupiter's welcoming arms.
I was thinking the same thing!
lol welcoming arms. juno was built more like a tank than a space ship.
rather they should play this when Juno is decommissioned and sent into jupiter
Eh, I wouldn't say so. This musical piece is innocent and celebratory, and Juno's de-orbit into Jupiter will end in disintegration.O.O
The melancholy central chorale should be played when they de-orbit
I am playing this in Pre School! im so excited im 1st Kazoo
Pff, I'm playing this as a fetus, first umbilical cord.
+UnequivocallyHuman 😂😂
Ok. I lol-ed.
And I'm sure you will do it justice.

Crying thinking about this scene….. you must be really strong people
But remember, he will always be there for you, even if you can't see him, because he loves you.
Remember that his memory is alive in you and continues through the inspiration you bring to others.
Life is like a good Holst piece.
Hard to play but great to remember.

I remember playing this in a large brass ensemble in college, 4:19 was absolute dominance by the low brass section, specifically my fellow tuba players!

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
That's my plan too. Getting a mini full orchestra minus the French Horns. I'd solo the French Horn part (I play French Horn) while she's walking down the aisle.

Very worthy too, but I prefer the former for the reasons stated above & also as it has Holsts amazing music too! ;)
I think it was Prince William who said that. Kate Middleton walked down the aisle to the said music.
All these comments about how similar this piece is to something from a movie they saw or a game they played is a testament to just how influential Holst was.
+Noah Angott Yeah, I remember at about 2:01 I was like 'oh my god, this ... this sounds like the Moody Blues!'
Come to find out, they were living next to Holst's house when they wrote that album. Which just ups the awesome factor for both, to me...
I got a hint of Shrek at 2:54
For me, i heard it in an anime when a character launched an attack called "jupiter" the source song is even cooler!
Holst was a genius.
And how crappy the US public school system is.
Amazing music choice in Bluey sleepytime, combined with stunning visuals and a beautifully delivered message it brought me to tears, and I'm a grown man with no kids.

You step out of the spacecraft as it lands on unfamiliar terrain, after drifting for years through the endless expanse of space. After the Earth's demise decades ago, your family is one of many who have become refugees and pilgrims, searching for a new home, fruitless until now.
You step out of the craft cautiously, breathing through the helmet you have on. Although the government has told you that this newly-discovered planet is hospitable for human life, you still doubt taking off your helmet, even though you can breathe this foreign air. All around you, you see humans pouring out of their spacecrafts- humans of every sort. Caucasians, Africans, Asians, Latin Americans. People of every race are staring in bewilderment at this new frontier. Humanity- fragile, sturdy, broken, beautiful humanity has found a place to live at last. Children are racing ahead of their parents, gazing in wonder at the majestic mountains in the distance and vast, unspoiled sky. Alongside you is your childhood friend, who has stayed with you since the collapse of Earth.
They take off their helmet, smiling that familiar smile at you, taking a deep breath of the new air.

This is so beautifully written. I can feel all the feelings, especially with the swell of the music. As both a writer and a musician, this touches my soul. :))

And then, three seconds later, you land on this planet, trying to fight an unknown enemy, a ruthless one, and you are tasked to protect this planet. You try your best, only to fail. You lose your team one by one, then the last mission. You must get the package, and send it back. You succeed one time. Then you are left on this planet, and you fight, but you eventually get tired, and you die as you see this planet fall.

Played this piece with my band at Carnegie Hall last year and every time I hear 2:54 it sparks a bit of sadness knowing that I will never be able to be in that moment again :(
Beautiful transition. And I applaud you, The Planets is not an easy piece to play ( school band from 6th grade to Sophomore year in College)
i know this feeling so well. each time i play a piece that i absolutely love with a band, i get goosebumps and that amazing thrill of performing it and will never feel that same feeling ever again. that's why i love performing... it's awesome being part of something so incredible
Don’t be sad that it’s over, be glad that it happened
2:54
this brought back so many memories as a flute player playing this in band and i really loved this piece its the best piece ive ever played but it brought back sad memories as well since i dropped out of band but this piece makes me feel happy since i played this when i started out in band at high school

Whoa whoa whoa... I Vow to Thee My Country was based on this? I had no idea! That melody came up and I was just stunned!
I felt goosebumps when I vow to thee my country started to play!
Yeah Holst was asked to give the hymn a tune, so being an efficient man he just lifted that section from Jupiter since it already fit extremely well.
I actually heard this in forza horizon radio channel "Timeless" .first I thought the were playing battlefield theme (considering they were playing halo theme earlier )
Same. I was like ".... Ey yo wait a minute, I know this!"
Until I read your comment; I was going to switch off because I thought I had the wrong video! I’m amazed too!
I can say as a French Horn player, the slow part of Jupiter is really fun to play. Got it memorized lol I love it that much.
True. This whole movement is awesome for horns! Its a blast!
I (trumpet) have a transscript of the chorale in the middle and I love it so much. Makes me almost jealous of french horns. Still some awesome trumpet parts to it though...
Trombones are better
The slow part makes me cry every time every time lol
Me, a French Horn: Ayyyyyyy
2:54 is THE part everyone knows and loves, but for me 1:36 is just so insanely catchy and addicting
Same I actually dont like that 2:54
So right my two fav parts
Everyone’s talking about 2:54 and how it’s the best thing ever, but I like 1:36 more
Exactly!
sounds like a Runescape theme
I like the whole thing better. :)
Got to agree!
Your wrong
One day, when interplanetary travel becomes possible, there should be a tour of the Solar System for the general public. On the way to each planet, they should play every song in Holst's Planet's suite, in a way where the buildup of each movement is playing, and as the ship arrives at the planet, the emotional climax of each piece plays.
Just imagine: 0:00-2:54 is playing on the way to the planet, as the pilot gives facts over the intercom about Jupiter, building up excitement. Then, he tells the passengers to take in all of Jupiter's glory at 2:54.
Fantastic Idea and description. I'm sure its all in the future.
If the future can take a quick tour if the solar system they damn well can time it perfectly
+holykiller1191 Have you ever thought of putting that idea on a science-fiction novel or story? It sounds like it could make a great story.
+holykiller1191 That would unfortunately involve traveling many times faster than the speed of light, requiring far more energy than the universe contains, for a visual spectacle that most planetariums could have created circa 1985.

In my opinion, one of the greatest pieces of music ever written.
2:54-4:38 is legitimately the greatest melody ever composed. It's perfect. I only hope I can write music even close to the quality of this masterpiece.
"Well, nobody was talking, so I figured I'd say something." -The first trumpet throughout this piece

Holst was used as an inspiration for both the Star Wars and Star Trek scores especially post TMP.
+HASEnoncorperated The song played after Luke fires the missiles in the exhaust port of the Death Star is literally the ending of Mars.

"great shot kid that was one in a million!"
The "Mars" movement heavily influenced a lot of John Williams' compositions including theme music from Star Wars and also Indiana Jones.
This was used in The Right Stuff as John Glenn is orbiting Earth!
My dad introduced me to this as a child... The entire suite is a feat of composition and orchestration. I’m in awe...
2:55 So so incredibly powerful. Utterly inspiring. To me it sounds like finally overcoming a tremendous obstacle and that satisfied but exhausted feeling when you finally, finally get recognised for your suffering
Playing 'The Planets' was so enjoyable in my highschool symphony orchestra, but Jupiter was by far my favorite!! We were awful, but I like to think we did Mr. Holst proud with Jupiter!!!
Yes I played a few of them as well while in high school. Mars was my favorite. And I love how the teachers tell you to just "fake it" for some of those crazy runs lol "Just everyone hit the last note together and loud!" haha
***** Yeah the cello part in this song has quadruple stops (plucking all four strings, with a different fingering on each) so it was like playing a guitar perpendicular to the ground. My hands hurt so bad after every performance haha.
Same high school orchestra experience here. I doubt we were that good, but we tried. I remember I was freaked out with my multiple parts (not too complicated but obvious if I screwed up) that started at about 1:10 - bells to triangle to tambourine back to bells - 2:09 was fun. It was one of the better auxiliary percussion parts I had. Most of the time I was counting measure of rest and getting busted with the rest of the drums...because our section was always getting busted for something - even if the trumpets started it...
TuberosityTime Blaming the trumpets, I see? So does everyone. But to be honest, we screw up quite a bit...

Damn. Give thanks to people who take Music majors in university so that they can make stuff like this.
Sorry about being $100k in debt.
+Rebel 420 it isn't so simple to teach yourself a musical instrument without a teacher. I'm a music major and before college I did not have a private teacher. I came a long way but to truly become a master of the craft you have to study under someone.
music is such a complex topic that you can't teach yourself and have the confidence that you're going to know you're stuff. you have to spend years studying and analyzing and even then, there's more to learn. you have to be trained in many different ways. your ears, your reading skill, your ability actively look at more than one part, how literally each note functions within the piece. this stuff takes immense amount of study and work to he able to compose something like this. definitely not something that is self teach able. I learned that the hard way.
"but to truly become a master of the craft you have to study under someone."

Thanks man.

Whenever 2:45 hits, i dont cry, i weep. Ugly cry my heart out, this just makes me feel things, I don't know what, i could never explain.

I cannot hear this song without remaining teary-eyed throughout starting at just before the 3 minute mark. The majestic beauty and swelling ecstasy...it just keeps getting bigger and more beautiful...like the music itself is weeping for joy.

My whole family are classical music lovers, when we hear the opening bars, we stopp whatever we are doing and everyone will whisper "it's Jupiter" and we listen in silence, each one of us in their own private paradise. On one occasion Jupiter interrupted a heated family argument, and at the end we all hugged each other the argument long forgotten.

This piece was in a movie my dad and I watched together all the time. When he died in June I knew right away we had to have 2:54 at the funeral, so we did and it was stunning
You should listen to "I Vow To Thee My Country". The music is taken straight from 2:55, and the lyrics are beautiful.
The part following 2:54 makes me feel... complete.
I just close my eyes and enjoy my private paradise while trying not to breathe with the rhythm. May no radio show I'm listening to ever play this while I'm driving. XD
2:55 is almost the very remanifestation of joy. Just...pure and simple. Something that lifts a heart from the dark thoughts...even if it is accompanied by this sentence.
"I like Pizza, I want to have more of it."
I once saw this whole suite played live in dimmed lighting with a screen showing NASA images of the planets- it was great!
I saw this at the Royal Albert hall
I know marching band will never compare to the orchestrated version (maybe dci) , but the first time I heard this, I was in 6th grade learning the flute, and my brother's marching band played this. When I listen to them play it at state, I was moved to tears and my only dream was to play this. This piece is what pushed me to stay a musician and I'm so glad I get to play this in marching band five years later. I hope we get to inspire someone, like how five years ago, my brother's marching band inspired me.

Usually in orchestral pieces there are 2-3 sections that I really like listening to, but this one... I could keep jumping back and forth through the entire piece like "this is the best part. no this is the best part. No THIS is the best part!" And in the end, I spent an hour listening to it.
2:54 makes me look forward to being a father of a little girl and watching her grow up to get married and live a beautiful life and then I live out the rest of my days peacefully but with gradually worsening health issues finally to die with a smile on my face

Just heard the Chicago Symphony Orchestra play the entire Planets piece. Jupiter was by far the best. Guest conductor Cristian Macelaru recently retired from the NY Symphony Orchestra.
toronto symphony for me
Jupiter often gets overshadowed by Mars but honestly is the better and more grandiose of the two
Both are good
I was recently listening to this while crunching through the snow on my way home, and I swear, when it came to the section at 2:55, I suddenly felt as if I were celebrating the end of the igloo wars that had raged far too long for humanity to recall; my comrades and I guzzling down unhelpful amounts of Goldschlager, clinking glasses with zeal, rejoicing in the glorious day ahead and pondering the future for the Eskimo people who had at last been liberated from their extraterrestrial captors. One of the most uplifting pieces of classical musical you will find.
P.S. No drugs were harmed in the making of this story.
I cannot get enough of the ending. The whole piece is gorgeous but 7:10 and on is just so amazing. I need a whole piece just like that.

IsThisRealLife Close Encounters of the Third Kind as well
+IsThisRealLife John Williams, Jerry Goldsmith(R.I.P.), James Horner(R.I.P.), Hans Zimmer.... the list goes on.
+IsThisRealLife Lucas apparently wanted to just use The Planets, outright, but Spielberg convinced him otherwise.
Brian Tully According to the Star Wars DVD special features, George Lucas wanted a musical score for Star Wars that would be reminiscent of the late Romantic style of early Hollywood film music composers like Erich Wolfgang Korngold who, along with Max Steiner and Alfred Newman, was considered one of the founders of film music. Steven Spielberg then told Lucas, "The guy you gotta talk to is John Williams. He did 'Jaws' and he's the greatest composer in the world today." It was John Williams himself who was influenced by the works of Gustav Holst, specifically 'The Planets,' as well as other Hollywood composers like Jerry Goldsmith, James Horner, and Hans Zimmer.
He definitely did!
Everyone’s favorite part starts at 2:54. I personally prefer the bit that starts at 1:35.
Me too 🙂
when the theme changes after the build up at 1:35..... amazing
I’m here because of the kids show Bluey there’s an episode who’s soundtrack was inspired by this masterpiece. One Punch Man is awesome too
The Bluey episode is S2 #0 titled "Sleepytime".I found out the name of the piece of music because I had the closed captioning on & they credited Gustav Holst the title of the piece. Made my day to be able to come here & find it for that reason.
Cool
It's odd how many people misclicked the "dislike" button. It's ok, guys! We know you just didn't notice your mistake.What a wondrous piece of musical beauty. I'll always love it.
in many platforms,like cell phones, the dislike is 3mm distance from share button... hope this is the main reason...
+Thomas Kennings Haha! That gave me a laugh. =)
My favorite piece by Holst. Jupiter is truly the MOST magnificent planet in the solar system.
2:54 makes you wish the national anthem sounded like this. It gives a total sense of camaraderie and brotherhood/sisterhood
which national anthem?
Its called I vow to thee my country
to think murata and one putting songs as chapter names 😩😩
