关于作者

Gustav Holst was an English composer, best known for his orchestral suite "The Planets," which remains one of the most popular works in the classical repertoire. Born in 1874, Holst was influenced by various musical traditions, including folk music and the music of India, which he encountered while studying at the Royal College of Music. His diverse interests led him to explore a wide range of genres, including choral music and opera, displaying a unique ability to blend different styles in his compositions.

Throughout his career, Holst also worked as a teacher and was deeply committed to music education. He composed several notable works beyond "The Planets," including the hymn tune "Thaxted" and operas such as "Savitri." His contributions to music have had a lasting impact, inspiring generations of composers and musicians alike. Holst's ability to evoke imagery and emotion through his music has cemented his place as one of the most significant English composers of the 20th century.
