“Jupiter”
Next, we’ll hear a piece by English composer Gustav Holst (1874-1934). From 1914 to 1916, he wrote an entire suite about the 8 planets. Let’s listen to “Jupiter,” but feel free to expand today’s lesson by listening to the entire suite called The Planets.
Atmosphères
Here is a bonus, if you’d like to try out some modern music. You might only be able to handle a minute or two of it! Listen to Atmosphères by Gyorgy Ligeti (1923-2006). Ligeti was an avant-garde Hungarian composer.
