	Gustav Holst - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gustavus Theodore von Holst (September 21, 1874 – May 25, 1934) was a English composer with Latvian, Swedish, and Spanish roots.
		Holst's output for the wind band, though relatively small, guaranteed him a position as the medium's cornerstone, as seen in innumerable present-day programmes featuring his two Suites for Military Band.
		Like many composers, Holst also played a musical instrument, in his case the trombone (a choice dictated by a medical condition that robbed him of the manual dexterity required for more obvious instruments such as the piano).
