The Planets - Holst & Others 1 by Andrew Bevan The Planets - Holst & Others The discussion at Youtube regarding Holst's composition of the Planets Suite is rather interesting. Take in example the thread on Pluto that was discovered only 4 years before Holst's death: CournerTaker wrote:Pluto was discovered 4 years before Holst's death, but Holst expressed no interest in writing a new movemtn. He was disillusioned by the popularity of the suite, believing that it took attention away from his other works. In 2000, the Hall? Orchestra commissioned the English composer Colin Matthews, an authority on Holst, to write "Pluto, the Renewer".?
