Shostakovich, Nielsen, Sibelius, Britten, Richard Strauss, Vaughan Williams, etc. all wrote famous musical responses to the horrors of the 20th century's new mechanized form of warfare.

    @@georgsgrants9925 Even though it is a big taboo and will most likely start a debate, wars helped greatly in creating new ways to defend our country, to attack as well of course, but actually it is thanks to WW1 that the big part of the code of war exist which prohibit the use of chemicals weapons, for example, and the creation of the atomic bomb is right now one of the best thing we can use as a threat to big countries who would want to start a war. Without WW2 the US would probably not have been one of the most powerful country in the world and there would be most likely no Europe. Even if they were terrible things, the many experiences done in Auschwitz and the Unit 731, they helped in understanding more about the Human body (Even if I agree that most of those experiments were more fantasy-like type of science sometimes). So yes, wars helped, and there is probably more things about it that I haven't said or know. And yes, wars are terrible things but that exists since the dawn of mankind when we were already creating clans against each others. In a kind of ironic way, it is thanks to wars that Humanity have somewhat learned to prevent them from happening.

This piece always blew me away as a kid. It's just sheer, raw power in 3 acts. The build-up and reveal is just tremendous. Holst did an epic 7-minute action/drama soundtrack 60 years ahead of it's time.

Google BBC SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA FLAUTIST MICHAEL COX which will take you to his home page, where you will find a great picture of Mr. Cox with his glorious mustache. And, no, he did not have it done especially for this performance. It takes a very long time to grow something this extraordinary.

Jupiter is also a lot of fun to play on timpani as well, there is an actual melodic timpani line in both timpani parts combined. Holst writes amazing percussion parts to his music, along with the brass winds and strings. Definitely one of my most favorite composers of all time ❤️🥁

    Yep. That was a bad war for us. And it was quite injustice to people of Finland as well. But we got some territory (as we had not enough already...) political and strategy meanings was involved. So technically, USSR kinda won, but theese lads from Finland are tough, and love their land. Don't mess with them lightly. Good people they are. I hope, we will never be at war again. And we are actually a distant relatives. Modern russians are descendants of slavik refugees from Kievan Rus (Mongol invasion caused this), who was driven to northern forests and swamps of Rus. And they're actually assimilate the local finnish tribes who lived there. Moskow itself stands on that lands. So we, russians, originally, a finnish-slavik people. Our history and linguistic reserches affirm that fact.

    Back in the early to mid 90s when I was in middle school we played The Planets for our Concert Band. I played the trumpet. I remember playing both Mars and Jupiter as well as a few others from the score. If I remember correctly Mars was the Bringer of War and Jupiter was the Song of Jubilee. Each song from The Planets has a distinct sound that matches what it represents. It's a great and fun piece to play!
