Description
[Machine Translation] In 2024, the 150th anniversary of his birth and the 90th anniversary of his death, Gustav Holst ( 1874-1934 ) will celebrate with the ultimate 2-CD bestseller! About Gustav Holst ( 1874-1934 ): Holst, famous for his suite "The Planets", was one of the leading composers of the British music scene in the late 19th and 20th centuries, along with his lifelong friend, Vaughan Williams ( 1872-1958 ). His wide-ranging output includes operas, orchestral works, choral works, and chamber music. He is also noted for his efforts to rediscover and preserve old culture by collecting English folk songs and carols for his own compositions. A trombonist and voice teacher, Holst began working as a music teacher at the prestigious St. Paul's College for Girls in London around the age of 30. Since he composed during school vacations, his works are few in number, but many of them continue to be performed to this day. His interest in mysticism and astrology resulted in the suite "Planets. It is interesting to note that the theme is not space. Other well-known works include "St. Paul's Suite," a string ensemble piece composed for a girl's school orchestra, and Suites No. 1 and No. 2, which are popular in the brass band scene. Incidentally, the melody of "Jupiter," the fourth piece of "The Planets," is very popular and is widely known in Japan as "Jupiter" by Ayaka Hirahara, and in England as "I swear, my country," a choral piece.
