Holst - The Planets

The Planets is a seven-movement orchestral suite by Gustav Holst, written between 1914 and 1916. Each movement of the suite is named after a planet of the Solar System and its corresponding astrological character as defined by Holst. The Suite is widely considered as Holst's most popular piece and magnum opus.

• Not a complete set yet, but I am working on it. The Planets is considered Holst's best work, although I like First/Second Suite better. Regardless, the USAF band does a phenomenal job performing these pieces.
• Nominate and support. --haha169 (talk) 06:05, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
• support you beat me to the punch. I was going to nominate these soon. Great minds think alike I guess. (link and link) cheers --Guerillero | My Talk 23:32, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
  • Haha, so was I. I was eying it for a while, but the musopen performance of Jupiter was a huge turn-off. Good thing I found the USAF one...I'm still hunting down the remaining ones. --haha169 (talk) 02:46, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
    • If I see it I will let you know --Guerillero | My Talk 03:01, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
• Support Having played a few pieces from "The Planets" suite myself, the performance by the USAF band is exceptional, though I notice a few static-ky noises in some of the pieces that do ruin the quality of the pieces but only ever so slightly. —Ancient Apparition • Champagne? • 11:53am • 00:53, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
• Support, once it's made abundantly clear on the SDP that it's a concert band arrangement. I see that this is pointed out in the caption of the sound files in the article, but nowhere is it on the sound description page. I believe the Commons file names should be changed if there's going to be some movement on that front. What happens if a performance of the originals is uploaded? What file-names then?
