This book is the first comprehensive guide to Holst's orchestral suite
The Planets. It considers the music in detail and places the work in its
historical context, describing the circumstances of its composition and
its meteoric rise to popular acclaim. Starting with Holst's particular
interest in astrology, Greene reveals a profound statement of human
character and Holst's own psychological journey toward the mystical
state. Using parallels in the verbal and visual arts, Greene weaves here
a fascinating tale of musical communication.
