bro same. Viola gang. The Dargason was my favorite movement. In my section we were totally a unit, acting as one Viola.

This is straight out something I imagine being played in a medieval game

My orchestra teacher just shared this with us and said we'll be playing it after spring break and I'm so excited!

🥳 I still remember Eddy’s attempt at an Italian accent in order to flourish your last name Alex! Loved the countryside rigadoun, as does everyone I’m sure.

Wonderful performance. The last movement finale ( The Dargason) was my A3 musical piece l performed on Bb Tenor Saxophone when l was doing my trade testing, back in the day. I passed, naturally. For the record. I only learnt music when l was 17 years old. I later went on to play and perform the Clarinet. An instrument l still play to this day. In my old comprehensive school they didn't teach anyone who didn't play a musical instrument, or had knowledge of music before arriving. They basically put us all in the 'drama class', to hide us so called untalented pupils from their star pupils. Music opened a door, to which has never closed. Thank the lord for army music.

The genius of simplicity! Beautiful writing for strings!

Masterful piece of work! It is really one of the most exciting pieces I've ever played. Beautifully done in this recording, especially dynamics. Thank you for posting!

Great suite to start my senior year of high school with!

I had to study this suite - amongst other works - for music O-Level, back in the '70s. I always liked it, but having to listen to it so often, it began to pall. Over the years, I've really fallen back in love with it, especially the sheer joy of the Dargason - I can't keep a smile off my face! Thanks for posting, especially with the score alongside.

Thanks for this terrific resource!

Thanks for uploading this one and thank you for using the score! Its just my luck i found this before my concert in 6 days

This piece is so addicting to listen to

My high school performed this very piece at Carnegie Hall last month. One of my favorite pieces I’ve ever performed.

THE BASS AT THE END OF THE FINALE UGHHHHH 😩😩🙇‍♀️🤌

I love this piece! I heard a different piece from a violinist that reminded me of this, so I had to look it up. I played this many years ago. It's a lot of fun to play!

What a treat !!

I played this for a high school piece, and it’s by far been one of my favorites

Beautiful.

Such Great Music

I am searching KZread right now because yesterday in Hobby Lobby I heard a piano arrangement of a string suite I played in middle or high school (or maybe both). This isn't the one I heard, but it *is* a lovely walk down memory lane.

Played this in 6th grade can't believe

The best version of SPS ever heard！！

The 4th movement is actually in two different suites by Holst. One is for winds only and the other is for strings only.

I played this piece as a violist in middle school and during the intermezzo I somehow ended up one beat ahead and practically ruined the movement for my orchestra haha we still got 2nd in the competition though!!

This THE MUSIC to have in your had during a travel in Ireland!

I just realized the finale melody is almost the intro melody but reversed

i love that it is quick😁

my school orchestra is playing this song now!!!

I remember playing the finale. As a 1st violin in a non varsity orchestra, one of the most difficult pieces we played

Nice

I've been playing viola for a year and now I'm doing this for orchestra. wish me luck lmao (also thank you so much for uploading)

What a beautiful suite… especially that last movement I am a pianist that was forced to learn violin for a school orchestra, it’s gonna be challenging to learn this suite as a 1.5 year violinist, but it’s gonna be fun! (I’m concertmaster for some reason as well sooo)

exhausting.

Excellent. Ideal String Concert: Mozart: Adagio and Fugue Beethoven: The Great Fugue Schoenberg: Verklärte Nacht. Holst: St. Paul's Suit.

@GryphonWahle

As a violist, I agree those pieces would be iconic for a single concert. Probably very few non-musician/string players would agree or pay to see that. I'd change the order: St. Paul Suite, Verklarte Nacht (intermission), Adagio and Fugue, Grosse Fugue. Or change it around. But Grosse Fugue last, no matter what. Extra bonus points for Metamorphosen by Strauss, however that would need to be the finale for a whole other string concert program.

My teacher advised me to study triplets with rhythmic studies: - the first long note [||] and the other two short [|] -> for example, at the minute you say: E # || D # | C # | - then the first short note, the second long and the third short -> E # | D # || C # | - then the first two short notes and the last long one -> E # | D # | C # || - finally try to play as it is written😊.

I didn't know about this composer. Sounds super modern. Looked into it and all is work is fascinating. No doubt it's a major inspiration for modern composers from John W to Hans Z ! all the magical Hollywood orchestrations "from" John W seems so much copied from Holst's it's impressive !
