This spectacular transcription offers string orchestras an alternative to Holst's St. Paul's Suite. Based on his Second Suite for Band, this version features Song of the Blacksmith and Dargeson. Written in the key of G Major, the final movement will prove to be less difficult than St. Paul's Suite, yet still has the excitement and energy of the original!

This cleverly titled work includes three famous themes from The Planets. The swooping and fluttering sounds of Mercury, the Winged Messenger give way to the mystical tone clusters and serenity of Venus, the Bringer of Peace. The arrangement closes with the iconic militant ostinato and extreme dissonance of Mars, the Bringer of War. An exceptional arrangement.

This lively march comes to us from one of Holst's most popular works, the First Suite in E flat for Military Band written in 1909. Two contrasting themes-a crisp, marcato in D and a lyrical, legato theme in G-thrill listeners. The powerful finale of the march, back in D, uses both melodies layered on top of one another. The lyrical section features the cellos and violas and all parts are interesting.
