About this arrangement

Concert band concert band - Grade 6 SKU: BF.BM792-SCORE Suite for Large Orchestra. Composed by Gustav Holst. Arranged by Christiaan Janssen. Baton Music orchestral series. Suite for Large Orchestra. Full score. Baton Music #BM792-SCORE. Published by Baton Music (BF.BM792-SCORE). 'The Planets' by English composer Gustav Holst is a seven-movement orchestral suite in which each movement is named after a planet of the Solar System and its corresponding astrological character. The orchestration was very imaginative and colourful, showing the influence of such contemporary composers as Igor Stravinsky and Arnold Schoenberg, as well as such late Russian romantics as Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and Alexander Glazunov. From its premiere to the present day, the suite has been enduringly popular, influential, widely performed and frequently recorded.
