Holst - Jupiter, The Bringer of Jollity (from The Planets) - Piano Tutorial

That middle part gets me. The 'Thaxted' section or "I Vow to Thee, My Country". Absolutely beautiful piece of music.

1:39 is the exact moment that I, then 11 years old, was converted to classical music. I literally danced around my bedroom with that waltz segment on repeat.

[@hippolytabaker9559]

The Planets has been one of my favorite pieces of music ever since, even after my classical tastes have long-since diversified. I have the entire score memorized at this point and I've played the euphonium part alongside the recording in personal practice sessions since high school. Holst remains one of my favorite composers and was my gateway to Vaughan Williams and Mahler, who *are* my favorite composers. I love Mars and Jupiter a lot, but the last three movements are my favorites, especially Neptune. Can't wait, y'all.

I remember playing this piece for my last orchestra concert in my senior year, and this almost evokes the emotions I felt that day when I played for the final time with my orchestra family. I'm glad that this got recommended to me.

[@ravensworkshop8106]

Jupiter, and the entire album but especially Jupiter, brings me back to my days at Disney World going on Spaceship Earth filled with so much curiosity. I think Gustav Holst is one of the only composers to really get the feeling of space right, it just feels so full of wonder and excitement. It’s a vast expanse of unknown and millions of possibilities, just these pieces make me want to look up at the sky in awe.

[@tragiclifeform347]

During full concerts of The Planets, they’d sometimes have to cut the symphony short for time, ending with Jupiter. I read that Holst hated ending on Jupiter because ‘life doesn’t have happy endings’. The mans a freaking goth.

[@listerofsmeg884]

superb. i once tried to convert the full orchestral score to a piano roll type program but there was no way of transposing the instruments what were tuned to a different key to the main key. What i love about Jupiter is that the music so fits the planet itself and not just its astrological character. The churning, ever changing cloud patterns and storms, but also our great protector in the middle section. In fact most of the pieces fit nicely with the physical nature of the planets, even Uranus and Neptune, which little was known about in Holst's time. Only Mars and Venus should be the other way round. Mars is actually peaceful and serene, Venus is a hellhole.
