I didn't realize until last year that Jimmy Page's fantastic bowing extravaganza from Song Remains the Same is based on this piece.

I love the odd time signature and metrical permutations of Mars!

I heard the whole suite played by an orchestra (which shall remain nameless as it might out me!) a few years ago - JUPITER was my favourite!

They're written for band not orchestra, but check out Holst's 1st & 2nd Suites for Military Band. 100 years old and better than 99.9% of the band music out there. They're on Youtube about 100 times each.

Timothy T,
:Do you like The Planets Suite by Gustav Holst?
I would have to say "yes" for about 50 years now. I know that music intimately.
