Also the last four movements of the piece are arranged in the same order as the planets actually occur in terms of their distance from earth. So it's like you are traveling to the extremities of the solar system, and at the very end you are leaving the solar system and the view of Neptune is fading away (hence the music gets softer). Holst is an absolute genius
Ha ha, you think just like me except I usually say that hidden within the notes of this piece lie the answers to the universe. What a fantastic sound, it's only fault is it's not long enough. I want to be enveloped in it's mystical heavenly sounds for much much longer.
Most of The Planets work best as Roman gods, but this captures my space imagination completely. I hear this piece as Voyager 2 arriving at Neptune after its spectacular trip. Lots of tension before the difficult encounter, then the choir introduces the profound wonder of the revelation. Then, after a brief visit, the Mystic giant recedes and the probe will never see any planet ever again.
That's good as far as it goes, but all this astronomical association with The Planets misses the Big Point - these Planets are evoking the astrological - mystical quality of these energies.
@@KarlRKaiser Yes, but the only planet to be named after a Greek god was Uranus. This is the Latin version of Ouranos, the Greek god of the sky; Caelus was his name in Roman mythology. Still, why is it that many people don’t know that astrology influenced the suite?
@@Jeremiah_Rivers76 Two reasons, imo. First if one simply does not know the astrological character of the energies of the planets and the mythical figures associated with them then we miss how that is expressed in the character of the movements of this suite. Secondly, many people who see themselves as scientifically minded have a materialistic bias against the energetic aspect of reality, including its psychic and deeper mystical aspects. So they only see the planets as rocks in space. For example, there have been musical concerts at some science museums and concert halls where the orchestra plays The Planets while a movie or slide show of astronomical images is played. But why not a slide show of ancient Greek and Roman gods, or other fantastical art portraying these figures? That would be more inspiring and more "to the point".
@@KarlRKaiser Not bad. I think you just gave me an idea about creating a slideshow about the planets. Come to think of it, after I go over their astronomical information and roles in mythology, I could discuss their astrological representation and play ruclips.net/p/PLbPnu_ZaPDk2GHEVs06qwGdGK9dRRFUye, a rearranged version the suite as performed by the Sir Charles Mackerras-conducted Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra with some extra tracks. If I were to do that, it'd make sense to skip "Earth," "Ceres," "Haumea," "Makemake," and "Eris." As for your "rocks in space" point, Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are quite rocky, despite Earth's Blue Planet nickname. Jupiter and Saturn are gas giants because hydrogen and helium mainly comprise them. Uranus and Neptune have an abundance of heavier elements. Thanks to this, they fit under the ice giant mantle. Just a little information for your consideration.
@@Jeremiah_Rivers76 I'm aware of the gas giant status of the outer planets, and was wondering recently whether they have any solid cores. I realized this when I said "rocks", but I needed to be glib ;-)
I just learned through Tom Scott's Lateral that the choir is (probably) in an other room, and that the fade out is achieved by slowly closing the door.
Yes the ending especially it always gives me chills. And Neptune is coming together with Jupiter exactly on April 12. This means we are being flooded with light… Very spiritual time
Same here. It's hypnotizing and mesmerizing to me. Interestingly enough, I don't think it's brought me to tears before reading your comment. I can imagine being in orbit above Neptune or surveying a fantastical ice covered planet (vibes of Hoth from The Empire Strikes Back🥽). The Planets, including this selection, is obviously such a huge inspiration for John Williams. Another piece that affects me similarly is The Aquarium from Carnival of the Animals by Saint-Seans.
@@kylewinward8847 actually you need to associate it with the astrological point of view of Neptune. Neptune in astrology is the mystic planet associated with water, sea, depth of emotion, spiritual and also mystical zodiac sign of Pisces. So it's that kind of quality aimed by Holst, at that time, he doesn't even know that neptune is a gaseous blue planet, let alone Pluto which has not been discovered
This movement is so eerie and mysterious (in a good way). The harp parts in some of the tenser, more dramatic sections make it feel like someone’s plucking at my bones.
Absolutely love that pause between phrases from the singers at the end - it sounds like an echo. Hadn't heard it that way until I heard this performance.
Likely done with purpose by Holst to replicate the infinite space of the ocean or unknown universe. Incredibly enigmatic and ominous, with no identifiable end in sight.
The whole suite from the adrenaline filled dark angry Mars, to the very royal sounding Jupiter to the absolutely superb and out of this world finale of Neptune is an amazing performance. Mars draws you in and keeps you firmly in your place lusting after more and then at the end of Neptune you are left hanging wanting more… and more…
Mesmerizing. After listening to this piece for many years, it is a sweet gift to witness the intensity of concentration of the musicians and conductor. And what a treat, not to be able to see the singers, and only wonder where they are in the darkness of Royal Albert Hall.
Not Only Is The Planets about the planets themselves and astrology but Gustav Holst also wrote this suite with the idea of life from the beginning of a huge moment till the end of a chapter with the Choir ending Neptune as you pass on to the next life.
Ethereal. Simply one of the best, clearest, most informative recordings ever heard or seen of Neptune, and now am going back to revisit the other Planets in this BBC Prom performance. Superbly played and recorded, this is a modern classic version.
Will release piano solo versions of all Holst's Planets suite (including Neptune, in a version also as long and trippy as this). Those interested, visit my free channel where all recordings can be found in future.
Incredible writing. I’m just sitting here crying. It truly amazes me what is achievable through music and I always think that it’s the greatest gift ever given from anyone or anything on this planet. I just wish the idea that classical music is for nerds only disappears because so many people are missing out on unique experiences that I genuinely think change the way you think.
I’m a black teenager and love Holst and classical/ film music but I get so much weird looks when I say I do, so many stereotypes for us to not like music like this. This to me is one of the greatest pieces of work ever.
@@ryuxfx52 I was the typical suburban white skater kid as a teen. I've always loved classical and I was very into film music. I'm sure it wasn't the same looks that you got, but believe me, people thought I was weird AF. Thanks for sharing!
I have never been as affected by a single piece of music as this movement, as the ending makes me think of death but also the infinity of the universe. I would believe that many a musician that has played this in concert has been equally affected.
Where is the choir? Wherever the heck the singers are it makes it all the more ethereal. And that long wait at the end is the icing on the cake; watching the conductor just breathing there is amazing-without any noise from the audience!
Holst intended the voices to be placed off stage in an adjoining room, the door of which was to be left open until the very last bar when the instruments stop and only the voices are heard repeating the final two chords over and over while the door is slowly closed. www.globalorchestra.com/neptune/
when i did the choir part with the Imperial Symphony Orchestra in Lakeland, Florida, there was a hallway that the wings connected to, and we just walked away from the microphones and through the hallway
David Trainer I think really that’s okay, if anything being able to build off of someone else’s idea is just as good as making your own, especially if you’re able to turn it into your own idea
There are more than one or two phrases and motifs here that wouldn't sound out of place in John Williams' chilling and eerie soundtrack of Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Listen to Vaughan-Williams (who was also a main companion of Holst) Symphony No.4, and I think you may have the lot. Glue it all together, and you have the 1977 soundtrack. The 1977 film stands up well today. I think it stands up better today, than it did then. It was viewed as science fiction then.
The original composer’s notes for this said the chorus must be in an adjoining room, the door of which should be open until the last bar of the piece, when it’s to be slowly, silently closed to mute them, but if a room or door isn’t available, Holst genuinely suggested the choir either “slowly turn away from the audience or stuff a handkerchief in their mouths”. In his mind, there’s no such thing as “singing quieter” 😂😂😂😂
it's very hard to sing quieter coherently with so many people with such a complex, high sound. It is easier and more clear to have them do those other options. Although I'm happy if they don't have to do the handkerchief option.
In HG Well's novel The Time Machine, the time traveller escapes the Morlocks and races into the future. He blacks out, but when he awakes and stops the time machine, the world he sees is a dying one. The sun, a dull purple, no longer shines on a green and pleasant land. A dark sea surrounds a dull sandy shoreline, no trees or any signs of life other than a few grotesque creatures flopping in the sand. It is the end of earth, her final death throes, the sun gradually fading to a nothingness. This music is perfect for the end of our earth.
Right, It’s well known that John Williams is inspired by Holsts planets for Star Wars, but some moments I swear to god he recycles and stamps his name on it haha
They did the ending properly. She didn't rush it, and most importantly we didn't hear the choir stop singing, well not on this video anyway, it's a terribly quiet recording. If the audience clapping had been cut off it would have been perfect.
It's an odd phenomena- they wouldn't be coughing listening to this at home- think about it, how often do you cough while normally listening to music when you're in a healthy state? If you have a cough, stay home. If you're coughing out of boredom or an inability to sit still and focus, maybe classical concerts are not for you. It drives me crazy.
This is art! The is magick! This is divine music channeled to our capabilities… I tell u this… divine realms emit a music heard by spirit and soul! I’ve heard the chords of bliss at a frequency if heard by my body instead of spirit my head would’ve exploded if not my consciousness
Well, Debussy and much of his work would be the first port of call. Debussy liked a good harp or two. 'Prelude l'apres midi d'un faune' or 'La Mer'. Maurice Ravel would have known Holst well, and the same age.
Some guy walked out during the last measures. And what's with the camera editor showing the conductor at the very end? Why not the whole orchestra in the silence? Moronic.
9:19 onwards...why do people always need to cough during quiet moments? Is this a weird tradition? If you've got a cough, stay home! The recording will forever be stained by the beautiful fade-out being haunted by a series of 'random' coughs...
Absolutely annoying, for sure. People tend to feel the need to cough at the most inappropriate moments in classical music, it's an odd phenomena- they wouldn't be coughing listening to this at home- think about it, how often do you cough while normally listening to music when you're in a healthy state? If you have a cough, stay home. If you're coughing out of boredom or an inability to sit still and focus, maybe classical concerts are not for you. It drives me crazy.
Oh, right. I assumed that was only a short-lived tradition when the composition was new. I figured people would be tossing it now, in favor of the choir members getting credit.
Man, I couldn't watch Planet VI, because Naxos claimed the video for no reasonable reason, I mean it's not even the orchestra the algorithm thinks it is. And you have no option to complain about it without having to lie as "incorrect marking" is no option you can choose. RUclips really should change something about that. I gave that feedback twice to RUclips already but nothing happens.
They’re in an adjoining room just off the stage, so when they get to the final measure, or note group, the door is slowly closed, making a fade-out ending.
holding a cough is hard, holding a baton and conducting an orchestra in front of hundreds of people is harder. don't cough in orchestras, at least just cough during uranus or mars.
The flautist's 'stache is mystical

Amazing but I found the older gentleman's dandruff distracting 😉
7:54 Why is there one guy watching over the entire orchestra
It’s the bust of Sir Henry Wood, a conductor who was well associated with BBC Proms.
@@tpaealio the guy standing behind the bust
@@ak0829 I’m guessing it’s just the organist waiting for his part.
where does the choir stand ?
They’re in an adjoining room just off the stage, so when they get to the final measure, or note group, the door is slowly closed, making a fade-out ending.
Any other band nerds here that want to learn this???
Seriously, principal clarinet? You're going to take a breath in the middle of that phrase?? Jeeesh.

Okay, who's been coughing throughout this entire thing.
Sample 0:43 and 0:58
holding a cough is hard,
holding a baton and conducting an orchestra in front of hundreds of people is harder.
don't cough in orchestras,
at least just cough during uranus or mars.
is that a bill wurtz character I see there
@@play3r.wav. it sure is.
damien maymden is the name, eating blades of grass is my game.

Anyone else here for music class in school?
The coughing 😭
