Gustav Theodore Holst was an English composer, arranger and teacher.

The Planets, Op. 32, is his seven-movement orchestral suite written between 1914 and 1916. Each movement of the suite is named after a planet of the Solar System.

Beautiful harp and string melodies slide over each other, until Holst uses a mystical choir, which gives the music an other-worldly quality.

The other movements in the suite so far can be found below:

I: Mars, the Bringer of War 

II: Venus, the Bringer of Peace

III: Mercury, the Winged Messenger

IV. Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity

V. Saturn, the Bringer of Old Age

VI. Uranus, the Magician
