Holst, The Planets | Los planetas

Writer: Incarnate Word SistersIncarnate Word Sisters

Written between 1914-1916 by British composer Gustav Holst, ‘The Planets’ represents all the known planets of the Solar System seen from Earth at the time, and their corresponding astrological character, including Jupiter and Mars.


Jupiter, The Bringer of Jollity, is the round-faced cheery uncle of all the planets, and king of the gods, and musically impressive and majestic. The swelling brass and slow waltzing strings are met with moments of poignant beauty in the glorious tune now known as ‘I Vow to Thee My Country’.

Júpiter, The Bringer of Jollity, es el tío alegre de cara redonda de todos los planetas, y el rey de los dioses, y musicalmente impresionante y majestuoso. El latón hinchado y las cuerdas de vals lento se encuentran con momentos de belleza conmovedora en la gloriosa melodía ahora conocida como "Te prometo mi país".
