		Holst was influenced during these years by socialism, and attended lectures and speeches by George Bernard Shaw, with whom he shared a passion for vegetarianism, and William Morris, both of whom were of England’s most outspoken supporters of the socialist movement in England.
		Holst shared in his friend’s admiration for the simplicity and economy of these melodies, and their use in his compositions is one of his music’s most recognizable features.
		Holst would have certainly been affected by the performance, and although he had earlier lampooned the stranger aspects of modern music (he had a strong sense of humor), the new music of Stravinsky and Schoenberg influenced, if not initially spurred, his work on The Planets Suite.

	GUSTAV HOLST (1874-1934): British Composer - Biography by David Trippett: (Site not responding. Last check: )

	Gustav Holst The Planets and 2nd Band Suite
		Holst's goal was to speak as directly as possible through his music.
		Holst's second study was trombone, and his experience performing both as a student on the pier at Blackpool or Brighton during holidays and after graduation with groups such as the Scottish Orchestra gave him an appreciation for the players' point of view.
		Holst's inventive orchestration keeps driving the dance forward, but he adds something extra: while clarinets sound the main theme, a second theme appears simultaneously in the lower brass.

	A Young Person's Guide to Holst's Planets: Venus
		Holst's Venus, like all "The Planets," is more a product of the Greco-Roman mythology that gave the planet its name and the astrological tradition that sought to give it character.
		Holst interpreted Venus somewhat differently, representing the planet as "Bringer of Peace" in contrast to Mars, "Bringer of War" and inspiration for the first movement of "The Planets."
		By emphasizing "peace" rather than "beauty" or "love," Holst may have meant to imply that peace is found through love and art, or that peace is necessary for love and art to blossom.

		By 1903, however, he decided to give up a career in performance for one in teaching, eventually settling on a position at the St. Paul’s Girl’s School in Hammersmith, where he was to remain for the rest of his life.

	Holst's "The Planets Suite"
		Surprisingly, Holst was most dismayed by the international popularity of The Planets--it was his first and only composition to reach such a wide audience, and he thought of it as very atypical of his composition style; not Holstian, and he regretted it.
		Ralph Vaughan Williams, Holst's best friend and fellow composer, once said that The Planets was "the perfect equillibrium" of Holst's nature--the melodic, precise, and structured, combined with the mystic and unexplainable.
		Holst died less than four years later, and never had a chance to write a movement to honor the newest found planet.

		The ferocious and occasionally violent character of Holst’s music is a worthy sonic match for the violence of the dust storms of Mars, which can sometimes envelop the entire planet.
		In ancient astrology, Mars was called the "lesser malefic," a negative influence that brought turmoil and struggle wherever it went.
		The planet is the go-getter in Holst's musical pantheon, the pure, uncomplicated energy that gets things done, the active principle that must find balance in passive Venus.

		Gustav Theodore Holst was born September 21, 1874, in Cheltenham, England and was one of two children.
		Holst loved music, and he loved playing music as well as composing, therefore he decided to take up the trombone, an instrument that requires relatively little fine right-finger movements.
		Holst's work as the military band conductor, on top of his experience playing trombone in the orchestra and band, also gave him many advantages in composing for military and wind bands.
