From the ominous, relentless march of Mars, Bringer of War to the ethereal high-string sonorities of Venus, the Bringer of Peace, this spectacular symphonic suite established Gustav Holst's international reputation as one of the most popular and important modern British composers.

Great Study Score
The Planets is probably Gustav Holsts most famous piece of music. From the war-like sounds of Mars to the beautiful themes of Venus to the mischievous sounds of Mercury, this masterpiece is a great resource for students and educators alike. I fully recommend this and other Dover Miniature Scores to all who appreciate great music from the pens of the masters.
