Gustav Holst

born in Cheltenham, England, composed during the Modern period
born in Cheltenham, England, composed during the Modern period
Gustav Holst (1874-1934) was a British composer of the post-Romantic period renowned for his colorful orchestral suite The Planets, but also known for music in a variety of genres. Powerfully influenced by masters as different as Wagner and Grieg and caught up in the English folk song revival that also attracted his classmate and friend, Ralph Vaughan Williams, Holst developed a personal style that reflected his eclectic and sometimes esoteric interests. While he composed a number of successful orchestral, band, and instrumental works, Holst's numerous choral pieces have found lasting popularity, particularly his setting of the carol In the Bleak Midwinter. ~ Blair Sanderson, Rovi
