I’m convinced that 7:43 to the end is what greets you at the gates of Heaven. Pure beauty.
And just before it too with the harp interlude! I've always considered the harps to be the moment when you "see" the gates, and when the woodwinds kick in its when you start moving towards them
And I always have the terrifying picture in my head from 5:48 on of the nuclear Armageddon..... The picture of the sirens in The Time Machine.
Hopefully not with those two loud coughs to usher you through...
If you know Jesus as savior yes 😊
@@lukeslark the coughs are from the people who died of disease
Saturn is my most favorite movement of The Planets. It's powerful, yet not bombastic as others, yet also underappreciated. It truly is one of the most beautiful movements of the entire suite.
Gustav Holst himself also stated that this is his favourite movement.
This and Neptune are the best
@@tuipaopao I know.
This an unforgettable musical masterpiece! It was Holsts favourite. No one could have written this but Gustav Holst. It doesn't sound like anyone else. It's brilliant.
Regardless whether it was based on astrology or astronomy, what I take away from this magnificent masterpiece is the way it touches my emotions.
A space drifter pulled into the gravity trap of the Solar system. As his ship approaches the Lord of the Rings, he can't help but become in awe at the planet's mysterious look that strikes fear in his heart.
After having explored the planet long enough, he decides it's time for him to leave.
As he exerts his ship's impulse to depart, he feels overwhelmed. His impression has been altered. He approached in fear, but departs with appreciation of this celestial body's beauty and awesomeness.
Tori nator your description reminds me of 2001 a space odyssey. Just rewatched it for the 50th anniversary of the moon landing. It’s a great pairing with The Planets!
Admiration and fear,together.I liked what you expressed.
Holst was also a gifted astrologer. He even captured the seriousness of the first and second Saturn returns. And the calm after the storm of enduring Lord Karma's lessons.
This comment deserves more likes…smh
C Major Chord from the lows is so good it makes me want to cry 8:38
OMG DeeJay....we must be brothers from another mother.....you read my mind
It swells from the soul.
5:17 , Susanna feeling them tri-tone chords that have inspired so much metal music.
5:18- 6:00, I like to think of someone clinging on their last bit of life, with the bells signaling the grim reaper getting ever closer.
Hey I'm 69 years old...,a lot of people my age or younger have passed away in their sleep..., or are stricken suddenly! I was 25yrs old once, "hip" and looking forward to what life brings.
A quote from Charles Dicken's "A Christmas Carole" is very relevant...,"there is never enough time to do all the things we wish..., and then suddenly, you're not there anymore!"
i'd love to play this at my funeral
I as well!
You mean have it played at your funeral? 😂
@@johna7564 The music is so good OP rises from the dead just to play it.
jumps out of casket and whips out trombone
Now, that would be worth watching 👀
Every time I watch the crew of the Nostromo descend upon an alien planet I can’t help but think of this wonderful ominous song.
I've thought the same thing: Goldsmith definitely took cues from Holst.
❤❤❤
@@logankrotzer8770 ❤❤❤
Holy moly there is so much coughing in the audience. Great performance tho. Love the bass oboe.
Coughing in the audience would be a "no bueno" nowadays.
Maybe it was Saturn that made them cough; "the bringer of old age"!
Holy moly.....humm.... Twosetter.....
@@twosetviolinfan4047 what?
@@celadonk ohh you aren't twosetter.....bruh....🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Without doubt, one of the most serene cadences in our stunning Western canon.
Holst could WRITE
Gustav Holst made a beautiful piece that is elegant but hard hitting
I'd love to see more bass oboe in the music world. One of my favorites.
The end of this piece of music is so mesmerizing and profound, quiet, peace and purposed.
Those striding string bass lines are just SO powerful and majestic!
Lord Saturn, You are The Silent, Calm & Peaceful Saint. The Navy Blue Airy Aura of yours is humongous & over whelming. Being bestowed with unlimited power, you are still so humble. You are Shiva, the supreme self. I surrender to you. Bestow your ever lasting grace & wisdom on me.
The Lord God & His Son Jesus Christ, with the illuminating Holy Spirit..., they/is the supreme self!
(Saturn the planet is just a lifeless rock orbiting the sun..., Holst was merely inspired by the astrological "character" of each planet...,)
As an oboist I have always wanted to have a bass oboe and I think that they are beautiful
How would that be different from a bassoon? Forgive my ignorance.
Edit: I looked it up and I see that it is an octave higher than bassoon, filling a gap in the double reed family. Very cool. As a euphonium (tenor tuba) player I feel sympathy for the other middle pitch instruments that are so often forgotten.
Criminally underrated and underutilized instrument
OMG! 6:44 through to the end!! Ethereal bliss.
This sounds like boss music and I'm loving it
This is a magnificient music.
Well...Yes.
6:39 My favorite part
That part straight to the end of the movement is my favorite section of the entire suite and has been since I discovered this music in 2004. The Simon Rattle version with the City of Birmingham Orchestra executes the beauty of this section the best I think.
When I was a lil kid, this very peace scared me.
I don't quite know why, but I guess it sounds so...severe?
The meaning of Saturn in astrology and mythology is Severity. Saturn is the harsh taskmaster and the Lord of Death.
@@bluebee5266and yet very nurturing if approached from the right angle. Saturn is the planet of Limitation, and its limits that make things in life special, and why time is so precious. It’s a beautiful thing in its own right, and it speaks to a truth that death is a good thing, that there’s a time for everything.
Music that frees your mind from the shackles of every day life 🙏❤️
I love watching symphony orchestras play, especially the conductors.
The beauty of this and all the planets of this composition is soulfully exhilarating
I know what I'm playing at my funeral
5:17 You will just burst out your coffin at that point
Just beautiful.
If you've ever seen the planets the second part of this song is where Voyager is departing Saturn.
fun fact: the beginning of saturn is in B Locrian
Hahahahha
I guess you mean B super locrian because of the D sharp as the third degree of the scale.
@@trance_im_wald2907 yes that is very true.
1:38 *CODUSHANX-COUGH*
1:55
2:51
they can tell the future and that was the warning
Bravo! Great execution ladies and gentlemen!
Excellent.
8:32 till the end is the best part
since we were able to publish this on youtube, I believe the sky is the limit for us
The Ending is Beautiful
i love it
I guess I’ve never realized how often people cough in general until hearing them attend a concert setting hahahaha!
and aboard a full flight!😵💫😳
Nice and gooseprickling Interpretation....but on 5:00 and consecutive ..damn! the guys on timpani should hit with more power in Doublepack ...But there the Animation of the conductor is to less. It must be a shock to feel the coming of the age and the deathly end!!!
Everyone knows Mars and Jupiter but this piece is the one I think that sounds most like boss music. The section at 4:41 especially makes me think of Bowser and of Final Fantasy.
So good
Bass oboe!!
Saturn bring the old age
The planet that rules Capricorn.
Everytime her hair flips I can't help but think about the great composer bug bunny
LOL, your comment made me think about the Bugs Bunny cartoon where he's wearing a tux & the orchestra members are whispering "Leopold!"(Wonder if young people today would get the reference to
"Il Maestro Stokowski"...,the conductor in Disney's Fantasia movie.)
@@xtremenortherner a classsic lol
I'm sorry but at 5.44 I really thought that was george cooper from young sheldon
The Yards
Strong Alien score vibes from the off.
❤❤❤

Bruh...
7:21 it sounds like you accept peace
Reminds me of the stair case scenes in the movie: "A matter of life and death".
1:22 bass oboe!!
this reminds me of cinderella for some reason...
6/3/13
4:37 sounds loud and quiet at the same time.
yeah there is a lot of coughing must be quite serious lol
0:39
1:10
5:34 starts a ghostly funeral march and 9:30 a seranade to accepting our mortal fate
Bass oboe and no alto flute? Really?
The gentleman at 0:33 is playing alto.
there is an alto flute! :) (I played the bass oboe part to this and there was an alto flute player to my right)
Those coughs 😆
Gundham tanaka
9:00 imperial march
Le vieille art
Pretty good for having been filmed in a tuberculosis ward...
"COUGH COUGH (music) COUGH COUGH"...
Just seems like typical classical music to me: no catchy melodies, random loud parts, random quiet parts, no apparent tempo.... Basically musical psychosis.
It's not supposed to be "catchy" - you have Taylor Swift and her likes for that. This is about feeling and and finding your place in the universe.
This is classical music, not pop music. It's not supposed to have a catchy Melody. You're completely missing the whole point of this genre of music.
If you are looking for more "tempo". I suggest you to get familiar with Bach or Beethoven(especially his piano music). I'm sure that's a good place to start, then eventually you will hopefully dwelve deeper into classical music and see pieces like this enjoyable and less psychotic..
You need to listen to more music if you got lost on something like this lol. There's very little random here.
Wow, it's pathetic that you repliers are telling me how to interpret music, which is subjective. It must be convenient to be a classical music composer since you can write any random piece of gibberish and people like you defend it as being mood music or "finding your place in the universe" 😂😊🤣. Try not to be so indoctrinated and condescending of opinions that differ from yours.
