Gustav Holst (1874 - 1934) Royaume-Uni Gustav Holst, né le 21 septembre 1874 à Cheltenham et mort le 25 mai 1934 à Londres, était un compositeur anglais.
Né dans une famille musicienne d'origine suédoise, il apprend le piano avec sa mère et l'orgue avec son père, durant ses études musicales au Royal College of Music où il a notamment comme professeur Charles Villiers Stanford. Gustav est de santé fragile et fait régulièrement des crises d'asthme ce qui ne l'empêche pas de suivre assidûment ses leçons de musique. Il s'essaye dès l'âge de douze ans à la composition et a pour compositeur favori Edvard Grieg. Il étudie ensuite le trombone, qu'il pratique dans des orchestres londoniens, et devient professeur de composition. En 1901, il épouse Isobel Harrison. Enfin, en 1905, il accède au poste de directeur de l'école St-Paul à Hammersmith.
Avec un esprit austère et discipliné (Holst a lu tout le Traité d'instrumentation et d'orchestration modernes d'Hector Berlioz), sa mauvaise santé le mène de plus en plus à la solitude. À partir de 1933, il souffre de problèmes stomacaux importants. Il meurt le 25 mai 1934, après avoir composé dans la douleur un dernier opéra, The Wandering Scholar, suite à des complications consécutives à une intervention chirurgicale. Il est enterré à la cathédrale de Chichester.
Il est le frère de l'acteur Ernest Cossart (1876-1951).
Gustav Holst est, avec son ami Ralph Vaughan Williams, l'une des personnalités musicales anglaises du XXe siècle. Sa suite symphonique Les Planètes, une des ?uvres les plus connues du XXe siècle, a eu tendance à éclipser ses autres compositions, ce que le compositeur regretta.
Les amateurs du film Star Wars reconnaitront de nombreuses similitudes entre le morceau Mars, celui qui apporte la guerre et le thème principal du film.
Outre ses ?uvres pour orchestre, Holst a composé cinq opéras.

Hols
t's 7-movement Suite, The
Planets was written
between 1914-16 and its
first version was scored
for two pianos except for
the Neptune movement,
which was written for
organ alone. The music is
the first ever composed
with a fade-away ending
using a womens' chorus.
Later, Holst completed
his orchestration of the
7-movement Suite, which
has become one of the
most popular works in the
repertoire. Mr. Sauer
has brilliantly scored
this movement of about
nine minutes in length
for 14-part brass
ensemble with Timpani and
Glockenspiel. This
concludes his arranging
of the complete suite for
Large Brass Ensemble. The
entire 7-movement Suite
is also available for

our
website. Instrumentat
ion is for: 4
Trumpets in C 4 Horns
in F 3
Trombones Euphonium,
