	Imogen Holst - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Imogen Holst, CBE (April 12, 1907-March 9, 1984) was a British composer and conductor, and the only child of composer Gustav Holst.
		Imogen Holst was brought up in west London and educated at St Paul's Girls' School, where her father was director of music.
		In 1931 Holst began earning her living as a freelance musician, though her hopes of being a concert pianist were dashed by incipient phlebitis in her left arm.

	Gustav Holst - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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 humour), the new music of Stravinsky and Schoenberg influenced, if not initially spurred, his work on The Planets Suite.

		Imogen Holst, in her booklet notes, refers to it as ‘one of the best and least known of my father’s works’ and it would certainly appear to deserve wider currency on this evidence.
		Holst approved a concert version, minus chorus — Imogen Holst cut the piece further and toned down the orchestration for the more civilised environs of a concert hall (or, indeed, a recording studio).
		That is, until Imogen Holst ‘rescued’ it in 1967 by adjusting the scoring for orchestra.

		Holst's relatively small output for the wind band has nonetheless guaranteed him a position as the medium's cornerstone, 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).
		His daughter Imogen Holst was also a composer and conductor.

	Gustav Holst's Military Suites and THE PLANETS
		Gustav Holst was born as Gustavus Theodore von Holst in 1874 at 4 Pittfield Terrace Cheltenham (England) as the first child of Adolph von Holst and his wife, Claira.
		Holst was optimistic that the Concert Band would be a more popular artform in the years to follow; however, this did not ring true.
		Holst’s own experience as a band musician playing trombone allowed him to write band music as band music, not like other composers who would first write orchestral music and the try their hand at writing Band music.

		Imogen Holst was deeply involved in all aspects of music creation and study; writing, teaching, conducting, directing, and preserving her father's heritage.
		In seeking to summarize Imogen Holst's musical language, there are three principal elements: the establishment of tonal centre rather than key; the significance of the interval of a second, and the use of modes and other synthetic scales.
		Imogen Singing is a collective of singing groups named after Imogen Holst.

		In many respects Holst is the least known of the major English composers.
		Holst loved working with singers, and he really understood the challenges of writing for mixed voices.
		If Egdon Heath was regarded by Holst as his masterpiece, and The Planets is undoubtedly given that accolade by the public, the claim of The Hymn of Jesus cannot be far behind.

		Gustav Theodore Holst was born September 21, 1874, in Cheltenham, England and was one of two children.
		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.
		Imogen was a very bright girl--she was a teacher, scholar, and composer herself, and she worked her whole life to promote her father's compositions after his death.

	HolstPlanets
		The score of Holst's Planets was finished in 1916 yet the first complete public performance was not given until Albert Coates conducted it at the Queen's Hall in late 1920.
		Leila Andrews, Brian's mother, was a close friend and fellow pupil of Holst's daughter Imogen at St. Paul's Girls School, Hammersmith - an establishment with which Holst was associated for almost all of his career.
		On the other hand, glimpses of his sense of humour and humanity illustrate a kindly man. On one occasion, a heavy teaching schedule, neuritis in his right arm, the effort of composition and sleepless nights due to the birth of his daughter extracted a heavy toll.

	Classical Net Review - Holst - Cotswolds Symphony, etc.
		But Holst suffered the trial of most artists of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries: the suspicion and the despair that everything had already been done.
		Holst felt he had to, in his own words, "find himself" as a composer, and what's more he felt it as an almost moral imperative.
		At the same time, it shows Holst's mature concision and the harmonic language of his late period -- teetering on the edge of two keys, or standing with a foot on either side of the divide.

	Classical Net Review - Holst - The Planets
		Holst's own recording, although he was no conductor – his daughter Imogen recalled his walking around the room practising beating the tricky 5/4 time of Mars – also has special claims on the collector's attention.
		While one must make allowances for the somewhat restricted sound, Holst took a singular view of his own work – his Mars, for instance is the quickest I have ever heard – and his insights are undoubtedly valuable.
		According to Imogen Holst, at that first performance, during Jupiter "the cleaners at the Queen's Hall put down their brushes and began to dance." One can scarecly imagine anyone dancing to the overrated, lacklustre and decidedly un-jovial (pun intended) Dutoit/Montréal performance, but Mackerras unerringly shows us how it should be done.

		I guess the Holst pieces I know the best except from the Planets are the Saint Paul's Suite and The Hymn of Jesus.
		The hymn has a unique feel to it, and is quite 'not-church-like' in ways (my english is excellent, I know) It's available from Chandos in a 2 for the price of 1 deal together with other choral music and the lesser known work (premiere recording) The Cloud Messenger.
		There is certainly of lot oif interesting Holst beside The Planets, though stuff like the "St- Paul's Suite" or the "Bouble COncerto"are rather slight affairs.
