I actually got pulled over for playing this to loud. Cop said I was the first to get pulled over for playing classical music to loud. This has always been a favorite piece for me. Glad you enjoyed it.
That "majestic' section was adapted and mated with Cecil Spring-Rice's poem to create the hymn "I Vow To Thee My Country".
There is a special circle of hell for whoever did that. Way to ruin a timeless classic, dude.
@@DavidTateVA Holst did it voluntarily and took flack for it.
The middle section is very probably the finest work of musicianship ever, make the heart of every English man swell with pride, well it does for me.
"Music, the greatest good that mortals know" - Joseph Addison
Thaxted ("I Vow To Thee My Country") from Jupiter should be Britain's national anthem. I won't entertain dissent.
I love when you mix in classical music. Breath of fresh air.
What have I done to deserve this? Holst? Jupiter?? Berlin??? Von Karajan????
You ARE a Joybringer! So let me also suggest Manfred Mann's "Joybringer", where he rockifies this luscious work.
For Neptune, I would suggest Neville Mariner and his Academy of Saint Martin in the Fields. It matches the cosmic spirituality the music demands. Off to listen...OK! I knew you would like that. Loved your description as well. Like Finlandia, that middle section soars over the landscape most beautifully, "getting over overhanging trees", and like Finlandia, it is addicting to play or sing or hum or whistle.
What a fantastic piece of music! Manfred Mann's Earth Band used it as a basis of their song 'Joy Bringer.' Well worth a listen! You can hear how they used some of the themes.
Funny that you used the word 'Majestic' at exactly the moment I thought it.
I've always liked this track. Growing up I used to hear the start of this every night because one of our local tv stations used this as their intro music to the 6pm news. It wasn't until I got a bit older that I learned that they were using Jupiter as their theme. It's amazing how much classical music I was introduced to through TV themes, cartoons, etc. 🙂
What a great musical movement, what a great composer and what a great reaction.
Jupiter and Mars, my two favourite movements from The Planets. Part of this were used for 'World in Union', for the 1991 Rugby World Cup by Kiri Te Kanawa
"Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity" had been used in the movies, and I can think of two examples. The ending is very similar to the Star Wars theme - John Williams adapted The Planets a great deal in the original film. And in the movie The Right Stuff, the Jupiter theme was used when John Glenn was orbiting the Earth. Holst's music is very well suited to epic movies.
Braveheart - For Love of a Princess and Main Theme, which also sound like "3x3 Eyes - Merciless Love".
People in the UK probably heard it first in "Kiri Te Kanawa - World in Union".
You should listen to Elgar's Enigma variations after this. There's a couple of things you'll probably recognize, but damn it is a wonderful experience
The closest man has ever come to perfection is music.
Jupiter and Justin, the bringers of jollity😁The Tomita version of this is worth a listen for an electronic spin on this track. Quite a dizzying range of music you have been covering!
Keep up the good work Justin! 🎷🎹🎻🎸👏
Also, the Emerson, Lake & Powell version of _Mars_ is well worth checking out.
Great reaction to one of my favorite classical pieces. Thank you, sir.
Appreciate the kind word Robert, thank you
Thank you as always for breaching into the classical realm. Please keep it up
This one takes me back to marching band in my senior year of high school. We spent HOURS practicing and performing this piece. Back in day, The Planets were a popular choice for competitive high school marching bands. My wife and kids were all band geeks, too. We still love it!
Another big theme like that is in the first movement of Keith Emerson's piano concerto.
Magnificent piece. I particularly love the section starting at 2:27 - it's so glorious and triumphant. And "I Vow To Thee My Country" really is one of the defining patriotic British hymns. I tend to associate it with Princess Diana's funeral in 1997.
Also Winston Churchill's funera
@@fclopez1 remembrance sunday
No, not her. Remembrance Sunday, along with Elgar’s Nimrod.
That majestic section that starts at 3:48, sometimes called “Thaxted,” was used as the melody for a British patriotic hymn, “I Vow to Thee, My Country;” it was a favorite of Winston Churchill’s.
That hymn used to be a regular in UK school morning assemblies too, and various other events including sport, which means a lot of folks in the UK are likely to be very familiar with that theme as the hymn, not necessarily knowing it was written by Holst as "Jupiter".
I live about 5 miles from Thaxted. Blue plaque on the house where Holst lived for a few years. The Planets was one of the first LPs I bought as a child. Still an amazing piece of music that I never tire of.
I really enjoy these classical reactions of yours. Your instincts are great, as is your vocabulary.
Thanks so much Jean! I appreciate your comment :)
A magnificent piece. The slow stately middle section (from 3:48) was turned into the patriotic British hymn, which was played (in the instrumental original) as part of my mum's funeral. As such, the piece has a bittersweet feel for me. And you're right about it being used for sporting events - the same section is used as the official theme of the Rugby World Cup (with new lyrics as "World in Union").
As someone else noted, this was the piece of music my daughter's high school band played in competition in the late 90's. Thank you for the memory!
The song ‘Joybringer’ by Manfred Manns earth band was based heavily on this piece.
Holst, putting a new spin on the planets, as he brings them into his musical orbit! Okay... I'll admit it, I don't get out enough.
Gustav Holst did a great job with "The Planets" which was my introduction into classical music. But to me this also has several elements in common with progressive rock. The mix of tunes, times and transitions. A great composer, great music and great reaction.
Yes. It inspired a lot of Prog.
🪐😆😁😅😏🤪🤓😎🤯🧐🤘👍. Galactic glee, jumping Jupiter joy! Peace and Love, ( I heard Jupiter was one of many who proposed to Saturn, that's why she has so many rings!)🌌
"The Planets,'' is my favorite piece of classical music and "Jupiter," is my favorite movement. The part you re-played, "I Vow to Thee My Country," made me cry the first time I played it in a symphonic band (clarinet). Thanks for the review.
I can imagine! Its a very moving moment
Manfred Mann's Earth Band's "Joybringer" was based on the main theme from this.
you can heart a whole history of film score in this piece lol
Even some prog...
The world is a sadder place now that nobody uses the word "jollity" anymore. 😉 Poor Gustav Holst, if only modern copyright laws had existed back then. He would have been a much wealthier man considering how many times themes and lines from this piece have been lifted by other composers.
The middle melody is one of the favourite tunes in England, its often slated to become the new national anthem, as god save the queen is the UK national anthem, not Englands.
Oh! Very interesting title! 😀 It was only recently that someone here around YT had described me as "kinda jolly", and as a Sagittarius, Jupiter is my Guiding Planet - and obviously also somewhat responsible for my jollity 😂
Not often one gets this chance, now play Manfred Mann's Earth Band entire album: Solar Fire. Real impact directly from the source which is the Holst piece. The direct comparison is stunning.
Sure hope you followed up my suggestion of playing 'Figaro's Aria' performed by organist Jonathan Scott of the Scott Brothers Duo, that one's simply perfection in Spain.
Beautiful !! My favourite piece from the suite.
Afternoon, Justin. Dave from a spring-like London (a good day to Soak Up The Sun). Huge, dramatic section, befitting of Jupiter/Zeus. It's packed full of memorable tunes. The first two themes was used in Joybringer, a big hit for Manfred Mann's Earth Band. Then that hymn is one of the great classical melodies - love your description of soaring over a big mountain - Mount Olympus maybe. Yes, it's majestic. You're also right about it being used in a big sporting event. A vocal version, World In Union, has been the theme of the Rugby World Cup. Keep it going, JP. Some of the later sections are haunting and atmospheric.
P.S. my song ref Soak Up The Sun is by Sheryl Crow.
C'mon JP, everyone on the planet as heard Holst's Planets (pun intended). It's one of the greatest and most influential pieces of classical music to be had.
The opening measures of this were used to introduce the news on WNYC (New York's Classical Station) and I still can't hear this piece start without thinking "oh, time for the news."
Worth hearing all of it. I see you've done Mercury, Venus and Mars already.
Manfred Man's Joybringer was an excellent cover
Not sure if I'm imagining it, but it seems that the more recent versions of this suite are played a bit faster than the one I listened to as a child back in the late 60s/early 70s.
Karajan took it way too fast for my liking on this recording. Modern conductors are taking it a bit slower again these days and when done right it just raises the hairs in my neck.
@@ChrisEchoes It's usually most noticeable at the end of Saturn where the music swells twice before the strings hold their long note. It actually makes me wince sometimes!
This track is sampled in Catherine, the video game in which you run away from your guilt in your nightmares via a puzzle game, and also sampled in Bluey, a kids' show. Lol
THIS should be the national Anthem of England as the Middle part is I Vow To Thee My Country. Search this out p.ayed by the Royal Marine drum corps and singer. It's amazing.
The part where you were talking about majestic mountains was used for princess Diana's funeral
All of "The Planets" is great, but this movement is two layers of awesomeness above the rest. Try as hard as you can to avoid ever hearing the hymn "I Vow to Thee My Country", which will corrupt your memory of this awesome piece with wholly unwanted and unneeded words.
Jp this is such a proggy tune You must play Joybringer by Manfred man’s earth band next it’s based on one of the many melodies from this piece
Emerson Lake and Powell did a great cover of my favorite, Mars, Bringer of War, well worth a listen IMHO.
King Crimson also used to cover it live - not coincidentally while Greg Lake was in the band.
I believe that this is my favourite part of the planets suite.
I swear there’s a section in this that Renaissance used on Running Hard before it goes fast from Turn Of The Cards.
There's a bit later in the middle of Yes' "Everydays" that may be a partial quote of the section at 6:33.
Yes! everyone talks about Mars but this one is my fave!!
also someone correct me but wasn't John Williams inspired by this album?
Inner peace and triumph of the human spirit begins at 3:48 and lasts till 5:28
If the UK ever becomes a republic then the section that you particularly liked will undoubtedly be in pole position for the national anthem. Though personally I would rather have ELP’s version of ‘Jerusalem’
jupiter is big
Yeah, not bad, heard it tons of times. PS, do i get extra points for not mentioning manfred flippin' mann 🙂
Isn't the theme at 1:30 used in a Yes song (one of the two first Yes albums)?
Yes. The Prophet.
JP it’s been a while I’m so glad you’re doing Holst think about how many composes like Aaron Copland Gershwin Theatre influenced and then after that the great movie composers of Warner Bros. Max Steiner Dimitri Tompkin can you have John Williams Jerry Goldsmith Jeff James Newton Howard The great movie composers in the 40s 50s 60s 70s 80s 90s and you’re right it’s so bright and beautiful and uplifting but the best is Mars bringer of war. You must listen to Emerson Lake and Paul’s version of mars bringer of war. Just think Keith Emerson thanks JB always the best I’m feeling a little better now and this made me feel really good. Thank you buddy stay safe God bless your family Jimmy Brady.
Speaking of planets, did anyone watch the Dark Side of the Moon/Ningaloo eclipse event last night (EST) from Australia?
Quoted by both Zappa and The Fall - OK, The Fall might have been quoting Frank, but still.
The 'soaring over mountains' theme was the wedding march at my first wedding. Second time around, I chose the intro to the 4th movement of Saint-Saens's Symphony #3 - also known as the theme from "Babe" I found out later (I don't have kids, I don't know from talking pig movies!). Wedding #2 worked out way better, so Saint-Saens > Holst?
Saint-Saens wrote some beautiful music and his Opus #3 truly was sensational. I hope you had a church organ playing to do it justice.
Now listen to the Chicago recording with Levine!!!!!
I see a laughing nun skipping thru a pastire of vividly colored spring flowers...
What were you smoking??😂
