The Planets is the name of a popular orchestral suite by the English composer Gustav Holst. Each movement is named after a planet (and its corresponding Roman deity):
- Mars, the Bringer of War
- Venus, the Bringer of Peace
- Mercury, the Winged Messenger
- Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity
- Saturn, the Bringer of Old Age
- Uranus, the Magician
- Neptune, the Mystic
Although The Planets was well-received and remains his most popular work, Holst did not even count it as one of his best.
A modern composer has created a Pluto movement in the style of Holst. This should be mentioned, but I don't remember any details
