where is the choir? ( 1 month ago by geneosis)
where is the choir?
Um, Holst wrote ... ( 1 month ago by 21evilgrizz)
Um, Holst wrote these movements as astrological, not astronomical. He didnt give a crap about the planets, but instead the astrology signs they represented. hence why he didnt do earth, since it has no sign. (you cant stand on earth and at the same tiem see earth int he sky, so it has no astrological sign.)
Those are real ... ( 1 month ago by CharlieBladeRemus)
Those are real angels in Heaven! lol jp Actually they're in a separate room that is joined to the hall. They are well-hidden so that it adds to the mystic effect that this piece has. Then when the last bar is reached, the choir repeats it over and over, while the door to the room is slowly closed, producing the fadeout effect. Gotta love it.
cool! Thanks for ... ( 1 month ago by geneosis)
cool! Thanks for the explanation.

no problem
Hmmm.....right at ... ( 1 month ago by CharlieBladeRemus)
Hmmm.....right at the end, the conductor seemed to be preparing for another piece. With the high B that the 1st violins were playing while the choir was fading out, I wonder if this is the version of "Neptune" that goes straight into "Pluto, the Renewer" by Colin Matthews....

I'm no expert on music but I know what I like. This is dreamy, mystical stuff. I've played this at night before and fallen asleep to it. Sleep is, according to the Greeks, the 'brother of death'. Death and life are interwined in permanent mystery. Holst was another one of those (sadly almost now nonexistent) composers who genuinely knew his philosophy and religion. This piece of music is divine IMO, second among the other 'Planets' only to 'Jupiter'.

It was to my ... ( 1 month ago by robbpeppertree)
It was to my understanding that Holst never wrote a movement for Pluto. I read it wasn't discovered at a planet till 4 years before his death. He decided not to write a movement for it because he felt the success of "The Planets" was to great, and took too much focus away from his other works.
Ah, I see somebody ... ( 1 month ago by robbpeppertree)
Ah, I see somebody read the performance notes :)
Your right, Holst ... ( 1 month ago by CharlieBladeRemus)
Your right, Holst did not write a movement for Pluto. Colin Matthews did write one and entitled it "Pluto, the Renewer." I read somewhere that he modified the end of "Neptune" so that it would transition straight into his "Pluto."

thats a bit of an over analysis
That does make more ... ( 1 month ago by Clorow)
That does make more sense. I was following along with this in the score, and the 1st Violins should end their high Bs before the choruses fade out. This video had them holding their sustained note through the chorus fade-out.
By the way, where ... ( 1 month ago by sitesnk)
By the way, where is "Pluto, the Renewer"?
In the beginning of the movie of "Mars", the voice-over is saying in Japanese that the orchestra is going to perform "Pluto". I would like to watch it.

no it isn't. It's right on point.
This composition ... ( 1 month ago by Elementum24)
This composition truly allows us to connect with that irrational, transcendental reality which exists in our abstractions, in our thoughts, our emotions, that one, subtle abstract elementary form, which gives life meaning. "The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed." -Einstein

Wow interesting! Wanna pull out my score now! hehe.. Any modification on neptune is a bit of a shame I reckon
The choir being ... ( 3 weeks ago by BrutalMetalocalypse)
The choir being hidden definitely gives the sensation that those ARE real angels! ;)
I don't think it ... ( 2 weeks ago by MagusJoseph)
I don't think it was ever composed. I think that Holst went deathly ill some time before Pluto was discovered. (Another reason to be ill!)
Also, I think his daughter commissioned someone to do Pluto after Holst died but I don't think it was ever completed...
this really is an ... ( 2 weeks ago by Mullac6400)
this really is an amazing piece and the strange thing is that i knew holsts daughter and she hated her fathers work and said that it was all floored especially jupiter.... this is very strange.
Holst never ... ( 2 weeks ago by contrabassoon)
Holst never composed anything for Pluto. Look it up on wikipedia, it's all there.
Hum.. I'm afraid ... ( 2 weeks ago by sitesnk)
Hum.. I'm afraid you mistakenly understand what I mean, MagusJoseph and contrabasson. I know Holst didn't comporse Pluto in spite of discovory of it at his age. And Matthews comporsed Pluto in 2000 because of the commission from Hall
é Orchestra and Kent Nagano.
In fact, Pluto ... ( 1 week ago by sitesnk)
In fact, Pluto begins after Neptune, continuing Violins higt Bs.
As set about above, the orchestra is going to perform Pluto But the video isn't posted on YouTube.
"Pluto" was ... ( 4 days ago by krsongs)
"Pluto" was recently (and officially) kicked out of our planetary system and will no longer be domestically recognized as such for educational purposes.
Bravo Gustav Holst... he got it right.
