Gustav Holst

This String Trio is technically quite accessible for competent players. It's a very early work by Holst who is best known for 'The Planets'. It was written while he was still a student but it is nevertheless a mature piece worthy of a place in the String Trio repertoire. Gustav Holst was born in Cheltenham in 1874 and died in 1934.

One of the best-known themes from The Planets by Holst is this marvelous chorale from Jupiter. An excellent change of pace number for a classical show this arrangement provides nice emotional builds and fluid ensemble passages.

Gustav Holst's Assemble All Ye Maidens Op.44 No.7 for SSA with Piano accompaniment with words by Robert Bridges.

Best known for his exemplary exuberant orchestral work The Planets Gustav Holst’s diverse gamut also included hymns pastoral songs and folk music. He and the poet Robert Bridges became great friends over time their friendship blossoming after Holst sought copyright of one of Bridges’ works in May 1925. This is a terrific hymn set to a poem of Bridges' typical of the combined workings of these two great English artists and has been edited here for SATB mixed choir and organ pedals by Alan Gibbs.

Invocation was composed in 1911 and first performed on May 2nd of that year in the Queen's Hall, London, by May Mukle with the New Symphony Orchestra conducted by Landon Ronald. The work received several performances with piano accompaniment before 1914, but with the public success of The Planets, it became one of many works that Holst never had time to revise or publish. A certain amount of editing of dynamics and phrasing has been necessary, and the piano reduction has occasionally been slightly adjusted to match the orchestral accompaniment more closely. The separate cello part has been edited by Julian Lloyd Webber.
