DESCRIPTION
==================
from http://www.good-music-guide.com/reviews/013_holst.htm:
Sometimes musical history is made as a result of the most unlikely of coincidences.
In 1913, an impoverished Gustav Holst received an anonymous gift that allowed him to travel to Spain. His travelling companion was Clifford Bax, the brother of the composer Arnold Bax. They became good friends, and Clifford introduced Holst to astrology, an interest of his.
Astrology fit right in with Holst's way of thinking. He had a lifelong interest in mysticism, even basing some of his music on Eastern metaphysical ideas.
The result of this encounter was a "series of mood pictures" begun in 1914, which became known as The Planets Suite. The seven movements each portray the astrological traits of the seven known planets at the time, in order of distance from the Earth. Pluto was discovered in 1930, well after The Planets was written, and so does not appear in Holst's work.
The Planets brought Holst fame and fortune, and today it is his best known (in fact, almost his only known) work. Holst himself hated its popularity. He thought it was least typical of his style of composition and did not want to be associated with that one work alone.
