The Planets
This page is about the orchestral suite by Gustav Holst. For the celestial body, see planet, and for the planets in our solar system, see solar system.The Planets Op. 32 is a seven-movement orchestral suite by the English composer Gustav Holst, written between 1914 and 1916. Notable for its elaborate score for large orchestra with some unusual instruments, The Planets is the most-performed composition by an English composer. Its first complete public performance was on October 10 1920 in Birmingham, with Appleby Matthews conducting. However, an earlier invitation-only premiere occurred during World War I on September 29 1918, in London's Royal Albert Hall, conducted by Sir Adrian Boult.
