Gustav Holst - Christmas Day

Happy holidays to Everybody. - - - Julia Doyle Lydia Challen Julian Davies Simon Oberst Choir: City of London Choir Conductor: Hilary Davan Wetton Orchestra: Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra - - - Gustav Theodore Holst was an English composer. He is most famous for his orchestral suite The Planets. His early works show the influence of Grieg, Wagner, Richard Strauss and fellow student Ralph Vaughan Williams, and later, through Vaughan Williams, the music of Ravel. The combined influence of Ravel, Hindu spiritualism and English folk tunes enabled Holst to free himself of the influence of Wagner and Strauss and to forge his own style. Holst's music is well known for unconventional use of metre and haunting melodies. Holst composed almost 200 works, including operas, ballets, choral hymns and songs. An enthusiastic educator, Holst became music master at St Paul's Girls' School in 1905 and director of music at Morley College in 1907, continuing in both posts until retirement.
