Sphere: Related ContentWith 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]? ![]()
