    Love the way how after all the central chaos it just goes into pure textures. No definable melodies just instrumental bliss.

    To me, this piece represents the acceptance of one's mortality. The first section depicts someone living their live as time ticks by, only for the music to swell as this person realizes that their time will soon run out. I hear the second part as a musical depiction of an existential crisis, with the climax of the piece being the apex of the crisis, after which, there is naught but pure acceptance

    I love this piece, and I like it more every time I hear it. It was apparently Holst's favorite of the suite as well. It's a moodier and more abstract composition, for sure. It doesn't reach out and grab you the way the other pieces do, but that's part of its enduring strength.

    Sometimes I just listen to Saturn alone in the bathroom late at night. It’s a painful piece at first, but it’s cathartic, and the last 3 minutes or so make it worth it. Always chills at the Cmaj7 at the end.

    So glad you're branching out into classical music. These Holst pieces are an excellent doorway into a vast amount of fantastic music.

    This used to scare me as a child. Now I can appreciate its beauty. The last high note by the strings is just perfect (and they got the pace right this time!).

    Eerily beautiful. The last three pieces are deeper than the earlier parts, but all are amazing. I often wonder whether the phrases of the second section (from 2:50) are based on my other favourite classical piece, Dvorak's "New World Symphony" - one of the repeated patterns is very reminiscent of part of the second movement of that. PS - that symphony should be your next classical dive; four perfect pieces of romantic classicism.

    Our perception of time and its passing is very subjective but mechanically it's measured out in ticks of the clock. When we're young it seems to plod and as we age the memories of our time can feel like a burden. As the piece progresses it speeds up which is how time flies by when we reach old age. The months and years fall away, as Joni Mitchell says from the forceps to the stone.

    The dynamic range of classical music recordings is often so high, dont be afraid to turn up the quiet bits and then turn it down when it gets loud.

    It's pretty hard to hear this and not think that Jerry Goldsmith borrowed a little of this for his score to "Alien".

      I'm a much bigger Goldsmith fan versus John Williams. I also hear some of this in Hans Zimmer's scores as well.

    You're onto something with your initial thoughts, this piece is all about the fear of death and peacefully accepting it when the time comes.
    Holst wasn't religious, but he was quite fond of Eastern philosophy and spirituality. You might also want to check out his piece "Egdon Heath", he considered it his best and one of the Saturn themes reappears in it!

    Favorite planet? Mercury, "cause it's better to burn out than fade away"! But seeing as how old age, came anyway. I guess Saturn kept my ;rings' in play. The Sun casts it's light, we are grateful to see another day. To composition and decomposition, all that matters, is keeping the atoms in play. Peace and Love, today and everyday.

      Even without the name (it amused the hell out of me when they realised & changed the pronunciation) the music itself is funny - Holst can galumph with the best of them (Shostakovich is another great galumpher).

    I started listening to this and other classical music as a kid in the 1950's, but the piece that really got me back then was Maurice Ravel's "Bolero". It's an exercise in dynamics. It starts off softly and slowly builds to a magnificent climax. One night back in the 80's my girlfriend and I were getting it on and this music came on. When we climaxed with the music, we took a breath and she said "What was THAT?", and I told her. Later I saw a scene in the 1979 movie "Ten" with Bo Derek and Dudley Moore where they had the same experience.

      Gosh as much as I love Ravel (he’s my favorite composer now), I cannot stand Bolero. I actually disliked and avoided Ravel for a long time because of that piece. It took Pavane pour une infante défunte, Introduction et Allegro, and Le Tombeau de Couperin to get me into him-and now he’s my favorite?
      His magnum opus is definitely Daphnis et Chloé, but Ma mère l’Oye (the ballet version) will always be my favorite and his best work in my opinion. Nothing quite like Le jardin féerique to end a hard day, I think :)
