This Book Is The First Comprehensive Guide To Holst's Popular Orchestral Suite The Planets.

Starting With Holst's Particular Interest In Astrology, Professor Greene Explores The Plotting Of The Work's Central Melodic And Harmonic Gestures To Reveal A Profound Statement Of Human Character And Holst's Own Psychological Journey Toward The Mystic State.
