Unfortunately, Pluto, doesn’t really “matter” to classical musicians either…

With all the notoriety about [tag]Pluto[/tag] being degraded to a “minor planet” status, musicians everywhere must be thrilled that [tag]Gustav Holst[/tag]’s famous composition, “The [tag]Planets[/tag]“, is back to it’s complete categorical wholeness. As you may know, Pluto wasn’t even found until 1930 and Holst finished his [tag]composition[/tag] almost a full twenty years prior. Holst was completely in the “dark” about Pluto, much like the “planet” is itself.

Perhaps we will see a revival of the famous piece in [tag]symphonies[/tag] and [tag]wind-ensembles[/tag] everywhere, heralding a new era where “[tag]the music of the spheres[/tag]” is back in harmony with the new found reality. The poor, little, ugly, “dwarfed” cousin has been, literally, left out in the cold.
Now, what to do about that overly friendly yellow [tag]dog[/tag]?
