Subj: [kl] "The Planets" by Gustav Holst
Date: Sat, 27 Feb 1999 16:08:06 -0500

90 years ago today, February 27, 1919, Adrian Boult conducted the first public
performance of "The Planets" by Gustav Holst. The seven-part work includes
all the planets except Pluto (which had not yet been discovered) and Earth.
Holst called it
"a series of mood pictures."

"The Planets" was also seen as a progression of life:
