The Planets - Gustav Holst | VISUAL ANIMATION (full suite)

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 31 พ.ค. 2024
- First time I did something like that, it's really not perfect, but I'm pretty happy with what I managed to do! This was projected during a live concert of this amazing suite from Gustav Holst. I do not own any part of this soundtrack, only the visuals are made by me.
MARS, Bringer of War: 00:00
VENUS, Bringer of Peace: 7:20
MERCURY, Winged Messenger: 14:50
JUPITER, Bringer of Jollity: 18:41
SATURNE, Bringer of Old Age: 26:18
URANUS, The Magician: 35:29
NEPTUNE, The Mystic: 41:00
Thank you so much for watching, let me know what you think :) !!

"Mars" was intended by its composer to be disturbing, and your images of the modern 20th century mechanized warfare that Holst had in mind in 1911 - that would come true just three years later - are spot on.
+PianoGuy60 I tried my best to go with what the piece meant to the composer as much as to myself, Mars is my favorite from the suite and it was so inspiring to work with it! Thank you for the feedbacks :)
@@NnenesParadise Mine too
@@NnenesParadise I would make the argument that "Mars the bringinger of war" may have been one of the most influential music peices of the 20th century. As far as I can tell, it was the first peice to establish the overdriven doom sound that heavy metal is synonymous with. And it definitely inspired the entire heavy metal genre.
Really? Huh. No wonder John Williams was inspired by it to write the "Imperial March" for Star Wars.
Holst wrote Mars around the beginning of World War I
If every solar system had a composer who composed music about their own systems, I wonder if they could all be combined together into some sort of giant galactic sound... "The Galaxy"?
This is what we need to do when teaching aliens about our culture
Not to nitpick, but this is a quick back-of-the-envelope calculation.
Considering Holst's The Planets is about an hour long, and assuming every third star has at least one habitable planet and there is an average of 3 other planets per habitable system, since habitable planets seem to be more common in systems with more planets, and we've only found 11 systems with 6 or more planets, including the Solar System, this would mean the average length of one system's composition is 30 minutes.
Since the Milky Way has about 300 billion stars, based on the assumptions above, there are 100 billion stars with habitable planets. Hence, the total length of the composition "The Galaxy" would be 100 billion x 30 min, or 3 trillion minutes, which is about 5.7 million years. This is so long that this is about the time ago that humans and apes shared a common ancestor.
In case you're wondering, the 11 systems with 6 or more planets are Kepler-11, Kepler-80, Kepler-20, K2-138, TOI-178, HD 34445, HD 219134, HD 10180, TRAPPIST-1, Kepler-90, and the Solar System. Out of these 11, only 6 systems, HD 34445, HD 219134, HD 10180, TRAPPIST-1, Kepler-90, and the Solar System, have habitable terrestrial planets or gas giants in the habitable zone.

@@sapphoenixthefirebird5063I appreciate your calculations, but no, I'm not talking about some sort of "galactic concerto/oratorio"; more like a galactic cacophony/euphony that no human ear could ever hear... everything being played at once, forever... No beginning or end, just one big uncomprensible noise that only a Lovecraftian entity could perceive... The Alpha-Centauri version of "Planets" could take 17,000 Earth-years to perform, but maybe the Alpha-Centaurids take 12,000 Earth-years just to use the toilet, who knows?
@@lordchromium2953who/what is "Based"? Forgive me, English is tricky for me sometimes... I have never heard of the one you call "Ba-Sed"... Is it some sort of ancient Summerian god?
Edit: I looked it up; "Based", like "baseball"... It is a slang word, I get it; you meant to say like, "I agree" or "right on"... I try to learn a new English words every day; I think I'm doing pretty good, no? I even listen to the English composers now, lol... Ty 👍❤️🇮🇹
If Saturn isn’t played at my funeral, I’m not dying.
The very first piece of classical music I fell in love with at age 13 and still love it at age 71. Wonderful visuals, thank you.
wait what
Who else here cry’s during THAT part of Jupiter. 😭 I WANT TO PLAY ALL OF THIS SO BADLY, I CAN’T WAIT TO BE IN THE ORCHESTRA AGAIN.
the popular part? I like all of it, but my fav is the start, end and flute and violin trilly thing.
My high school is playing it and I can’t wait to perform it. I’m playing first French horn on it and damn it is a blast.
@@austineldridge0630 what juptier
I vow to thee my Country
bluey why do you have to do this to me??
The animation is superb, especially Saturn, which is the most beautiful, yet frightening part of the whole suite! The part where the bells chime... it makes my skin crawl and somewhat tremble in fear, thinking we all meet this fate sometime. And everytime I listen to that part, John Donne's poem is the first thing that comes into my mind:
"...send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee."
Neptune is my favourite part, by the way, because I'm a Pisces, and according to my horoscope, Neptune is my dominating planet.
And maybe the soundtrack of the series, "The Blue Planet" was inspired by Neptune?
I'm very pleased you dedicated the time to utilize your talents in animation to produce this video and then upload it for public to scrutinize and appreciate. While confirming Holst's themes, you brought more than a supplement to his work - you added value - worthy of an artist with a passion for her craft. I'm thrilled by the conceptualizations you've developed here. Your work should be recognized as the avant garde mastery that arises in your desire to create and give others the images to complete the story or connect the dots. I will be trying to watch your career with anticipation, fully expecting your star to rise and shine brilliantly in the artistic firmament. Be blessed. David D.
I am so honored to read such incredibly well phrased feedback from you today David. Honestly, I wish I could answer in an equally beautiful way, but my english knowledge is still very limited (working on it!!).
So, instead, and I hope it will suffice, I will only thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for the kind words and motivation boost, I hope great things await you in the future. Be blessed as well!
You've articulated everything I wanted to say and more. Bravo to you both. 💜
Outstanding. My son and I enjoyed watching it in the hospital this afternoon. I didn't let him see the Mars one, though. A little too real. Great work.
Hope its not something serious a u were there for
When I first heard The Planets in 1971 it's been one of my favorite albums and I keep it in my collection of music as a touchstone of moments. Venus, the joy of and heartbreak of a 1st love. Jupiter, the unbounded joy of living and living creatures. But the animation done with this work is AWESOME. I could go on, but I'll simply say BRAVO!! 👏
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment on this, very very happy if you enjoyed it 😊
Everytime I listen to Saturn I end up sobbing at the end. Something about that final note that touches the soul
This is really good! I played Mars and Jupiter a few years ago in my high school's band. It brings back some great memories playing great music. The animations add a lot to the piece. Ok I have to do homework now.
EzraFuller Glad the animation could bring back good memories, good luck with those homeworks and thank you for the kind words :)
The hit at 4:24 sent chills down my spine
Just saw this performed at the Disney Concert Hall yesterday. Your animation is amazing !! :)
+Giovanni Negrete Ohhh this probably was AMAZING at Disney Concert Hall, thanks for the kind words :) !!
Saw your post on while listening to the suite, so I had to check your animation out, nice work :)
+MegamanZero410 Thank you so much :) !!
Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity and Celebration!
6:56 Star Wars
I’m playing the entire planets with my college band and these animations are really helping me get into it. I love this
I'll bet I know who the arranger was.
I came here because I saw your other post about animating this song. So I came here to take a quick peek at what you had made.
I couldn't find it in myself to leave this video unfinished. It's just such an amazing piece. And your visuals made it all the more enticing. It feels like if Holst had tech similar to today, he wouldn't have been able to make it better himself.
Each planets' representation was spot on, along with perfect timing of visual and music.
I personally favor Jupiter best, but I didn't know if you could pull it off.
But WOW! I did not expect anything like I saw! It was amazing!
You are truly gifted as you handled this with a sense of self interpretation, while staying true to Holsts' original design. I KNOW you are going to do fantastic things with you skills.
Never doubt that fact. I'm going to see your name in movies soon, and I know I won't be disappointed!
Best of luck!
+Cecilio Mesovarius Oh my gosh, I am so touched by this comment! Seriously, thank you SO much for taking the time to watch all of it and to give your feedbacks on it! When music fans of this beautiful suite come here and say that they think the visuals are good enough for it... wow... It just... It's more amazingly sweet words than I ever expected.. I am truly honored, thank you for the kind words! Best regards!
Uranus, The Mystic has always been my favorite of the entire suite.
u mean uranus the magician or neptune the mystic?
J'aime beaucoup la façon que vous avez eu de représenter le symbolisme de chaque planète merci
Trés contente que vous ayez apprécié, merci à vous!
Wow what a great addition to a already perfect piece. Thank you so much for sharing this with everyone. You are really good at what you do!
This is fantastic! You bring out the character in the music so well.
gee, I never knew The Planets could possibly get any better!
Hey i really enjoyed your work on all this effects. Were pretty amazing and interesting to see!
One of the best classical pieces ever made imo. Nice animations🤘
this is beautiful, thank you for it.
Still brilliant to this day, outstanding work!
This is truly amazing!!!
Your comment on the suite brought me. This is very well done. Loved it and might show my band director who is having us play it.
This is an incredible piece of art you have created here! Really something special!
+YahargenTheDigger Thank you so much for the feedback :) !! Glad you liked it!
This is probably the best version of Holst The Planets on TH-cam. The video background is very well done, Liked and saved. The sound quality is excellent and well. Many Thanks!
I Just discovered this composer and these songs through a you tube video it talked about when this was made. How many composers are believed to have been influenced through these songs. Then I saw one with the whole album, then I came across this one with all the animation. I am very impressed. Well done!
This Makes me cry every time I love it so much
Sorry for making you cry, and thank you for the positive feedback! I just love this suite and I'm so incredibly happy that this animation brings people to like it too :)
I really appreciate you doing this. This is one of my favorite works of music ever and your animation makes it even more enjoyable to indulge in. Thanks :)
+Derek Skinnell Thank you so much for the feedbacks Derek, so glad you enjoyed it :) !!!
This is really amazing!! Nice job!
+Helen Sileshi Hey thank you so much :) !!
Great work
Very beautiful accomplishing the classical suite
This is the most outstanding visualisation of an orchestral song I have ever seen.
Oh wow, that's a statement, thank you so much !!!
I really like Ouranos!!! Gustav really outdid himself. This is an absolute masterpiece!!!!
Absolutely perfect, stunning, amazing animation. It works so perfectly with this suite. As a soon-to-be music major, I have to say that this suite fits perfectly with your animation. Well Done!
+Saxophone Will Thank you so much sir!!! Good luck with that major :) !!
Nice work & very creative . So good to see the hidden talent * of TH-cam fans / subscribers .
Lovely. Really amazing!
+Raphaël Melki Thank you very very much :)
I think it too 😄
HOLY SHIT NNENE! You've totally out done yourself with this!!!! Incredible :D
+IDEK Fridays I tried my best, thank you :D !!!
+Nnene'sParadise I've only watched Mars so far and I can already tell this is GREAT👍Good job!!
+MadPastels09 Thank you so much, I'm really happy you enjoyed it :) !!!
+Nnene'sParadise You"re welcome😄
Mars are amazin!!! I always adored this music! so much adrenalin!!!
Really nice! :o Themes are entirely respected, it's impressive!
Thank you for taking time to give you feedbacks :) Im very glad you enjoyed it!
This is awesome! One of my favorite pieces of classical music combined with this animation was something I never realized I wanted. I sang "I vow to thee, my country" in choir a few times, which is based on the Jupiter movement.
Edit: I love the images you used for Neptune. It makes sense to me as a Mythology geek if you think about it.
Fantastic work!!
+Zoe Villalfor Thank youuuu :D !!
THIS. IS. UNDERRATED!
Beautiful.
Jupiter is Gorgeous .. wow. Well done!!!
saw your post while listening to the suit. What an amazing job you have done! This is very impressive and I can't even imagine how long it took you. I my self have been creating an animation for this but I am using a lot of Star Wars scenes since this was John Williams's inspiration
+Ryan Burns Thank you so much for taking the time to give your feedbacks :) It did take me a few months to create all of it since I was doing this aside from my full-time job :) !! I really appreciate your kind words, good luck with your star wars animation!!
This is amazing - well done! Have a lovely day 😊
Thank you so much 🥰 The same to you !
Very impressive work! Chapeau
+WebGremlin Thank you, merci!!!
Thats super cool!
This was powerful the sound I mean, maybe a bit too powerful for my device. It is a powerful interpretation of the masterpiece and one of my favourites in classical music
This looks amazing!!!
+Faith the Fangirl Thank you so much, it took so much time haha :) !!
hello why did I just get a notification for this a full 8 years later
Like how you put the Wizard of Oz for Uranus. One of my childhood faves, now with my favorite movement;)... thanks for the nostalgia.
Absolutely beautiful🌹😊
How did I only find this 5 years after it was made? This makes listening to one of my favorite classical music pieces even more interesting! Also you can see how dedicated you are, you still like comments :D
Ahaha thank youuuuu 😁
I: Ares, Bringer of War
II: Aphrodite, Bringer of Peace
III: Hermes, The Winged Messenger
IV: Zeus, Bringer of Jollity
V: Cronos, Bringer of the Old Age
VI: Uranus, The Magician
VII: Poseidon, The Mystic
Fun fact: The Planets was inspired by a book on astrology, so the movements are actually composed more to emulate the astrological effects of each planet, rather than the characteristics of the Roman gods they were named after
@@PurpleDropsOnRoses True or not, you can deny the composition of each movement represents very well the Greek/Roman Gods which the planets are named by.
I: Duna, Bringer of War
II: Eve, Bringer of Peace
III: Moho, The Winged Messenger
IV: Jool, Bringer of Jollity
V: Sarnus, Bringer of Old Age

VII: Neidon, The Mystic
(VIII: Eeloo, The Renewer)
(Kerbin, Bringer of Life)

III: Ódinn, Winged Messenger
IV: Thórr, Bringer of Jollity
V: Ýmir, Bringer of Old Age
VI: Frigg, The Magician
VII: Rán, The Mystic
Saturn and Uranus don't have counterparts in Norse mythology so I tried my best. Frigg is the wife of Odin and probably a witch, so she gets to be the Magician for now lol
I: Mangala, Bringer of War
II: Shukra, Bringer of Peace
III: Budha, The Winged Messenger
IV: Bṛhaspati, Bringer of Jollity
V: Shani, Bringer of Old Age

This footage is an order of magnitude more wonderful ！
There is no footage more wonderful and amazing and impressed than this footage
This overwhelming power is unfathomable, immeasurable and irreplaceable

Brilliant!
+Medad rufus Wow, thank you!!
Brilliant. It deserves many more than the 67k views I’m seeing right now,
Very cool animation!
+Tony Vissoc Thank you, very glad you liked it :)
What an awesome video! I found it looking around youtube while waiting for my own video of this suite to upload. It's nowhere near as good as this one, so there's no point in watching it while this video exists.
Well Done!
Very impressive
I’d like to let you know that this is min my favs playlist
'The FULL Monte'!! Bravo! :)
You honour Me!!
um....wut?
For so many classical pieces, I have lots of imagination in my head, but I can't visualize it like you did - really great, thanks!
Just one pain point: Only Mars and Jupiter are in stereo, the rest is mono. Maybe that is due to copyright/youtube issues, but if there's any way to have all pieces in stereo, that would be perfect.
Underrated
Adoro!
21:39 is probably the most famous part of the planets
Venus in astrology is what you would call Earth in astronomy.
Listen to all at school so good we were drawing what it felt like to us
Each is beautiful in it's own right, although Jupiter will always be my favourite
Which recording was used in this video? Which orchestra and who’s the conductor?
Jupiter is my #1 of all the planets, especially the I vow to thee my country part. Is so peaceful and lovely, it reminds me of the fact that Jupiter has been shielding us from dangerous asteroids and it is the largest planet.
Holst himself absolutely hated his theme from Jupiter being set to the patriotic words "I vow to thee my country" - total anathema to him.
@@davidrobinson7684 No WAY!!!!
@@davidrobinson7684 But why?
Can I ask why for Jupiter you put an animation of some kind of King or Pharaoh and scenes of 2 general soldiers of Rome and 1 alike Ceasar?
I've always thought that the suite should have ended with Jupiter; that the planets should have proceeded in size. The last rousing chords have always given me a lift.
Holst personally disagrees with you. He mentioned how irritated he was with giving partial performances with the absence of Neptune and Mercury, for an example. And, of course, people would ask for Jupiter to be last, which Holst didn't intend whilst writing the piece
Cool beans bro
+jarl5 Many thanks bro!
At 4:20 I had the images of a nuclear war starting in my book series, which dooms the aggressor nation to total annihilation and the defender capturing the enemy missiles and uses them in the next war. I havent even writen it down yet and I know how to write it now thanks to this piece
Imagine nuclear sirens blaring here!
Venus bringer of peace
The surface of Venus: AAAHHHHH!!!
This is awesome! Have you thought about doing Pluto the renewer by Colin Matthews?
No because it doesn't really fit the suite.
Parts of "Jupiter" sound like they'd make a really good national anthem.
How did you score this gig? Very curious, even roughly, as to what sort of an event/output/brief you were given..
+RolandMcGruner I'm not 100% sure what you mean by that, but it you're asking how I got offered to work on this, it is pretty simple. I know a guy who is a music composer, and he works with an orchestra to provide concerts regularly all year, always offering something special. Long story short, this time the special thing was a visual projection, and he thought of me for it and I jumped right in :) ! The concert was only a one night event, so it has been presented only once. Hope it answers the question!
Nnene'sParadise Yep thanks for the info! Cool project!
RolandMcGruner Thank you very much :) !!
Nice animation 🤩! But, I would like to know names of the orchestra and conductor. 🙏
What are the animations used for Jupiter?
Venus: Bringer of Peace at 9:21. I swear I heard that tune before, any ideas what song could it be? Plsss
Leia's theme?
@@sapphoenixthefirebird5063 Not even close.
this is incredible
btw there are no dislikes :D
+Mono Cheto1 YET! Haha thank you :D !!!
Nnene'sParadise its a miracle the haters didtn come already XD
Mono Cheto1 They probably will... They always do... I'm scared xD
*7 dislikers come out of nowhere*
What is the link to Mars, Uranus, Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune?
Hey, it's me again. Um, during Jupiter, Bringer of Jollity, what footage is that at 22:37? Is it from a movie? If so, can you tell me what movie it is?
+laughinsohard It is from a very old movie yes! I don't know the title however... I got my footage on databases of movies that are now old enough to be free to use. I think after 5o or 60 years it becomes free to use I don't know exactly the details but yeah, I got it on there and there was no title sorry.... :/
+Nnene'sParadise How did you find this clip, though? Did you search it? I became interested in this after seeing that figure with the big helmet during the time frame I put in.
+laughinsohard Found it by searching "king" in this website // archive . org
The Snow Queen 1957
What google sources did you use them?!
it was awesome? who played & who conducted?
How did you make these animations?
what recording/performance is this?
Epilepsy warning at Uranus
I've seen your work today. Very good job, but it could be a little improved (in my opinion).
I don't know what was your screen (projector or plasma displays) but I would make the animation a little bigger. Now is about 25-30% of the screen.
The pause between the parts (change to another planet) is well defined by the composer, so don't need to keep all the animation inside of a circle area, imposed over a planet image. Or make a zoom in (making the animation a little bigger).
Also could be great a transition between the planets like an overview of the Solar System and focusing to the next planet (zooming in) and starting the animation.
Just my opinion, overall a very good job, emotional enough to accompany this music.
I’m planning a concert of The Planets in 2023, played on a church organ. Our church has a white half-domed roof, so I’m looking for an animation I can project onto the dome. I think yours is absolutely perfect. Please may I use this video?
Sure, I dont see why not :) !!
So sad it is, to me, that Venus - associated over the centuries with beauty, love, and peace (and subject of Holst's achingly lovely music) should have turned out to be a broiling hell-pit suffocating under a smothering greenhouse layer (a fate quite possibly to be shared by Terra, and not so very long away either). 🌚
Uranus and Neptune great
