A new planet for the Holst planets suite.
Terre, celle qui apporte la vie
Une nouvelle planète pour la suite de Holst , les planètes.
Recorded the july 5, 2014 in Mâcon (France) with the Mâcon symphonic orchestra
Enregistré le 5 juillet 2014 à Mâcon (France) avec l'orchestre symphonique de Mâcon.
It took me way too long to realize that this wasn’t holst
John Williams: _Hello there._
Gustav Holst: _John Williams. You _*_are_*_ a talented one..._
Wouldn't it be the other way around..?

Kid named Kevin Kiner:
The crown jewel of the solar system: Holy Terra!

Nah this planet is shit
For the emprah!
really? you seen the mess?
When I first saw this, as several others have stated below, I went "Oh no, this is going to be really bad isn't it?". Then to my surprise it turns out to be a wonderful piece of music. You have suceeded at doing something I did not think possible. You have captured the feel of Earth all the while remaining loyal to the style and 'sound' of Holst. If this were inserted into a concert or cd of the Planets and I had never heard it before, I would have been convinced this was Holst.
Gustav Holst would smack himself lightly on the forehead and wonder aloud why he hadn't thought of this first. It is perfect and very much like what he would do.
Agreed. Very nice piece of music. Fits in very nicely with the rest of the suite
@@maryfreebed9886 While it is based on Astrology not Astronomy I still feel like he would have definitely appreciated this piece because of the dedication they have to him :)
agree

it was a mars sized object that hit earth
100% ridiculous. None of these titles refer to any movement and they certainly do not fit the characteristics of the movements at all. Just complete bollocks. A very very bad interpretation of the work.
Planet Earth, so underrated that originally Holst didn't include her in the original suite. In our hectic life we perceive the reality like we lived on a piece of "terrain". But in the reality, we are a species kindly hosted on the most precious and important of all planets we do know. I love how the composer mixed different moods and instruments here, and the ending reminds me that as a "thank you" we need to care about our great host and express our gratitude, as in this wonderful piece of music.
I find you Terrans' self-importance disturbing.
I love how you get aspects of all of the original songs that Holst made. Since, ya know, the songs originated from Earth. This is really good. And it sounds just like actual Holst music
This is a precision-fit addition to the suite, which I always felt was incomplete without all the planets. Thanks for completing it!
I've had a "first edition" Columbia pressing ( 78 RPM ) of Holst' 1926 recording of The Planets for amost 40 years . -- One of my true favorites. When I saw your "Earth", I said " Oh no, Another one of these contemporary composers trying to out-do one of the great masters." BUT , Apon listening to your composition, I must say that you've done a most commendable job in capturing the tonal essence of Holsts' original. Best of luck to you.
upon
Thank you Steve !
Excellent! I'll boldly assert that Holst would have been delighted. With the addition of this movement and the Pluto movement by Matthews, the suite is finally complete. I don't care what anyone else says.
You're in luck, my friend! ua-cam.com/play/PLbPnu_ZaPDk2GHEVs06qwGdGK9dRRFUye.html has all eight planets, with Pluto to round it out. 2006 was the year it was reclassified as a dwarf planet, but the Royal Scottish Nat'l Orchestra did an amazing job with it. Even though I decided to go in distance from the Sun, I think you'll be quite pleased. All seven original planets in the suite are best done by the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, but I agree with what you said about Holst's posthumous delight. It isn't every day that a composer comes up with a piece for the planets and dwarf planets.
Planet X when
@dodo perip idk, i still like to think it exists, the tenth planet, hence the “x”
@dodo perip oh yes, but for me? Roman Numeral “X”
@dodo perip ever heard of Pluto?
Very good work.
The music is very similar to the style of Gustav Holst
Thanks a lot !
@@mepas3 wait, was the song inspired by him?
@@men_del12 The idea behind this song was to capture the remaining planet, Earth, in the style of Holst`s ``Planets``
@@suprafatadecontact Ah I see. Thanks. It's nice to hear this piece of music.
@@suprafatadecontact I know Pluto, the underworld god, has been a dwarf planet since 2006, but here's a piece that would really fit if, regardless of its rank: ua-cam.com/video/N_v8G0fo4Ws/v-deo.html
Also, back when the Earth was still being formed, a Mars-sized planet called Theia slammed into the former, and Moon would eventually form. Information on the Theia Impact comes form the "Worst Days on Planet Earth" episode of _The Universe._
Excellent Clement !!! A superb addition to Holst's Planet Suite and Holst would have been proud of you. It wonderfully conveys life on our Earth busy with life, milling around with all their trials and tribulations. Awesome !!! :)
Thank you very much !
Great job with earth, it really does work well. I actually created pluto in garageband using the moonbeam synthesizer, and my family likes it. Gustav holst would truly be proud of you, you did an excellent job
Whoever composed this had a perfect opportunity to rickroll us
Love it. Welcome Earth, to the Grand Alignment. The theme of the piece seems bucolic with life. Many dynamics in time, space and gravity.
I love the whole piece, but especially 5:11-6:02 is so beautifully mysterious and 7:15-8:12 hit me right in the feels. Truly amazing, might be my favorite 21st century classical piece.
Honestly, I was skeptic of this arrangement at first glance, but it beyond exceeded my expectations. Well done!

1. Mercury, the Winged Messenger
2. Venus, the Bringer of Peace
3. Earth, the Bringer of Life

5. Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity
6. Saturn, the Bringer of Old Age
7. Uranus, the Magician
8. Neptune, the Mystic
9. Pluto, the Renewer
Perfect. The suite is now complete.
Meanwhile Pluto: qwq
I know it's a star and not a planet, but what about the Sun?
@@lunalgaleo1991 We have the Helios Overture for the Sun
@@liansmith4038 Wowwww, that sounds so cool! 🤩
What about Ceres, Eris, the rest of the Dwarf Planets and the Hypotheticals?
That is spot on! Compliments! I was just listening to the Planets again and did not remember Earth was there, only when I started looking at the comments I realised it wasn't from the original suite. Bravo!
Ngl I was hoping to be the first one to write a piece for Earth, but someone beat me to it
This is absolutely fantastic. I too am a composer, but I have yet for anyone to play my music. This makes me so happy, because it gives such good images of earth and what it's like without reminding you of everything too bad.
Love that so much. So beautiful! ❤
7:16 Gave me emotions I can't describe
Holst: The Planets, Op. 32 - VIII. Earth, The Bringer of Life
Earth is unique and hard to describe in a single piece of music, because you have snow, rain, summer heat, oceans, clouds, mountains, mystery, discovery, dance, culture, cities, plains, and so much more. There are billions of stories to be told.
Honestly, this is an amazing piece! If I hadn't known otherwise, I would have been convinced that this was Holst's work! You have done well, and I wish you luck on further compositions. (my favorite part is at 4:10)
The winner of a literal "Miss Universe" contest: the planet Earth in her entirety, and all residing upon her.
Mary Freebed nah jupiter wins just for the piece holst wrote
Neptune?
It's a shame that we are making our only home uninhabitable for us.
@@johndemars2551 i think earth would win beside all this trash around the sky
how you have boldly inserted this into the other pieces really says a lot. i got chills even as i first began hearing the first notes. wonderful
Nice! Adding to my Science Class with the rest of the Suite.
Wow. Very well done, and fitting with his style.
I really liked this. It’s beautiful and strong. Fits right in with the rest of the suite in my opinion.
This is really beautiful!!!! I know what I went in expecting.... but this blew me away! I think it fits in just perfectly with the Suite!
When you thought that great composers is a thing from the past. and this proves you wrong.
Only when you hear chairs crankling, the flipping of pages and the audience coughing that you realize how insane the audio engineering for classical music is.
7:16 this sounds incredibly beautiful 😮
Agree. Makes you feel so calm
Who made this? Was it you? Can I have the sheet music PLEASE
This is SOO good!!!!!
I love it all, and I think it's a perfect addition!
Totally holst' style. Well done. I 💜💜💜it. That makes me float.🎈🎈🎈🎈👀👁🕸🕷🎹🎼🎸🐾🐈🐾🐈🎈🎈🎈🎈🐾🐈🐾🐈💜💜💜💜
Bro imagine if there was a
Sun, the bringer of Light
Moon, the Bringer of the Night
Comets, the bringer of awe
If there were ever another planet in our solar system, I would like you to be the one who makes it's music.
Do some for the Kuiper belt like huimea or makemake or eris. You can even do ceres which is between mars and Jupiter
I would happily listen to it
This gives me Wall-E vibes
This is great, sounds like early John Williams music!
Reminds you of the track "krypton" from his superman soundtrack does it not?
Well, holst was a huge inspiration for John Williams, and this sounds much like holst
@@aceplayerMusic I'm a huge fan of both composers so I am aware of that.
Très beau, avec un poil d'inattendu. Excellant!
its nice music
Listening to this version doesn't give me the feeling that reminds me of John Williams or Holtz, but it did give me another GREAT feeling of sounding like Japanese anime orchestrators. At a certain point in the beginning of the song it even reminded me of something like anime from the 80's like Gundam or Yamato. Especially in the horn parts that reminded me of that. Its amazing!
If it isn't composed by Holst, than who composed this piece?
Edit:Alright, it's you. Then great job, buddy! How did you do that?
Woah this is legitimately elite dude. Fantastic job!
I must admit, I expected this to be shit (even to be a computer-generated crap). TURNS IT IT'S AWESOME IN ITS OWN RIGHTS! It reminds me a bit of composer Florent Schmitt too.
Yeah I was skeptic too
sounds a lot like star wars, a little too much like star wars. perhaps we are in the star wars universe. Jk
@@417Owsy John Williams took inspiration from gustav holst to make Star Wars Soundtrack a great example is mars
excellent,amazing and cool!
Wow! Wonderful!!
This is perfect!
Excellent!
Après les travaux parus sur Pluton et autres, il ne manquait qu’elle ! Et elle ne détonne effectivement pas dans l’ensemble, chapeau
To be fair, i think a better candidate for earth would be either the pastrol symphony or The Rite of Spring. But this is great too
i like it ...thank you, clement :)
*I* ❤ 🌎
Now I completely understand where John Williams drew his inspiration for Krypton from. Not thus particular work, but from the suite.
Gerbil King John Williams practically ripped of Mars for many of the Star Wars songs
@@sturmp It was a deliberate tribute, not a rip off. Holtz would be flattered that Williams brought his style of music to a larger audience.
This is a superb addition to the Holstian "Planetary" fold by Clément MEPAS ... so in keeping with Holst's style and use of orchestra. By contrast Colin Matthews' "Pluto - The Renewer" is in my opinion simply unworthy of any association with "The Planets", and I would suggest the field remains open for somebody to compose a truly worthy Holstian piece piece for Pluto! Thinking about it - how unlikely would it have been had the first effort actually worked! Why don't you do it Clément? You've acquitted yourself so well with "Earth - The Bringer Of Life".
Here is my critique of Colin Matthews' "Pluto - The Renewer".
To be truly worthy of it's association with Holst's Planets, this final piece surely should have been equally melodic and memorable. In my opinion Colin Matthews' "Pluto - The Renewer", composed as a natural addition to the Holst "Planetary" fold, ironically and sadly remains outside of the fold ... like the planet itself (sadly). Unlike all seven of Holst's planetary pieces, which have drawn me back to listen to time and time again over the decades, this effort by Matthews is so totally unmemorable, lacking musical panache and emotional sophistication, I doubt if I'll be back for a second play.
While I won't comment on the "worthiness" (and probably shouldn't given my lack of real foray into classical music as a genre), you are correct in that in comparison to the other planets, aside from the "jump scare" crescendos, Pluto doesn't really evoke any distinct emotions from me like the others, and is, well, forgettable; while it certainly sounds Holst-ish, it pales in comparison to the rest of the suite. This is not forgettable, it's distinct and moving-- and moves around quite a bit, encapsulating several emotional states; given the nature of earth and how earth is teeming with life and geological events and thus is constantly in flux, this is fitting. A bit more modern sounding, but still obviously an homage to Holst's original suite.
But that said, Pluto isn't even a "real planet", so if we were to go by that criteria, the suite is complete 🙂
Crazy idea - Great achievement
there is earth
Quand j'ai vu ça pour la première fois, comme plusieurs autres l'ont dit ci-dessous, je me suis dit "Oh non, ça va être vraiment mauvais n'est-ce pas?". Puis, à ma grande surprise, il s'est avéré être un merveilleux morceau de musique. Vous avez réussi à faire quelque chose que je ne pensais pas possible. Vous avez capturé la sensation de la Terre tout en restant fidèle au style et au «son» de Holst. Si cela avait été inséré dans un concert ou un cd des Planètes et que je ne l'avais jamais entendu auparavant, j'aurais été convaincu que c'était Holst.
Am I the only one that wishes that this was on Spotify?
Bravo!
dude this is amazing
This would be a great opening to the whole suite. If it were placed somewhere, I think it should be the beginning.
That is true, as it was originally excluded bc it was written from the perspective of Earth being the center of the universe, I believe.
I agree too!
Not only that but if Pluto was added to the end, then Earth and Pluto would balance each other with Earth representing birth and Pluto representing death.
I would put it at the end, but I like a satisfying ending and Neptune left me wanting more very badly, however I didn't care for Pluto, just a bit too busy, which is great when trying to communicate "madness" but not quite melodic enough to fit in imho, just a matter of personal taste. This would make a perfect closer as it ties in elements of several other pieces of the suite.
Nice! ❤
great
Is this published? I am interested in purchasing a score/parts if available.
Sounds nice
+Jordan Greenspun , Thank you very much
It’s planet earth my home planet where I live with all the people
I love m'y Earth 💖💖💖
virus 8-bit no you do not
wow
Wow this song is truly lovely. What I appreciate about this song is that it’s actually about the planet. The other songs by gustav holst were based on the Roman gods the planets were named after but this is based off of earth and it couldn’t sound more amazing.
Ok. Is there a score for it?
Terra wasn't included in the original suite because She's not a planet in the Classical sense (a "wandering star") from our perspective as beings dwelling on the surface. Makes me wonder what attributes would be assigned to Terra by astrologists on another planet
That’s a song right my home
At first, I was like, Oh no! This is a parody, but now, it’s brilliant! Can you describe it for me please?
damnit. beat me to it. lol good job
Très intéressant.... comme si Holst avait transmis par le moyen d'un médium la partition manquante de son grand chef-d'oeuvre!..... franchement, chapeau.
I want to see a cartoon, made of this!
Also, it sounds like an OST from Sid Meier's Civilization.
Sure does
Epic
Earth speaks of its own rise and fall, including the ascent of man from its midst (the destruction of all his pure experiences; his wretched dreams & wrought discoveries,
his primal fears & fruitful failures).
this one is rlly good
Wait, did Holst really composed something for the Earth??
No, but me yes 😉
Weren't there various attempts at writing other planets other than those in Holst's original pieces?
@GRANT MAIORANA Pluto doesn't count anymore...again lol
@@WhiteBloggerBlackSpecs it counts, it's not because some people at the top thought it's not a planet that it isn't one anymore!
moreover, it's a dwarf planet, meaning it's still a planet in the eyes of these people, they couldn't even commit fully to banning pluto!(damn I'm doing a bit too far here)
@FrenchHornCat Ceres, Eris, Makemake, and Haumea
t’s excellent! Can this be performed anywhere in the world? Maybe you can have a premiere here in America!

Hello?
4:07 Eargasm
4:37 and on is my favorite part idk why it’s just so mystical
I like this and summoning up some courage, I'm having a go at the Planets too. I shall release on completion of the entire suite. But in the meantime i shall launch some teasers on Soundcloud. I like this but will not be copying this in anyway. I like the scene separation that's very cool.
Is this wonderful piece on Amazon or somewhere else to buy?
Beautiful
Holst would be proud.
Imagine if you showed this to holst today
Honestly, this should have been called
Earth : the bringer of diseases and killer hornets
Really good
Good piece. Not quite Holst but, Thankyou.
While I do not agree with making one song for Earth (there are so many different themes on Earth that there could be one entire symphony for Earth), it is quite the composition nevertheless. Noice job.
I could do an updated "Rite of Spring Passage" with this piece.
Is it just me or does 1:42 sound exactly like the THX intro?
Funny, I re-listened THX intro , you're right !!
Cool, thanks for replying!
Well to be fair The Planets inspired a lot of works, so it wouldn't be out of character for a piece to sample a well known instrumental work, especially one from science fiction.
Do you mean THX1138 by any chance?
Hoshimaru57 No, THX as in the sound company. Their intro sounds a lot like 1:42.
@@Hoshimaru57 this isn't by holst.
Est ce que vous pouvez précisez clairement dans votre descriptif que cette compositions n'est pas de Gustav Holst?
PArce que là, c'est trompeur.
Is there a transcription of this? Ideally for Piano but anything would do. Thanks
