Holst makes an original and colourful combination of a Horn solo with 4 Flutes and 3 Oboes, repeated with Flutes and Clarinets, all using a mostly non-functional chord language that has much in common with the French Impressionist style of Debussy and Ravel. While there is an underlying sense of Eb major other chords are used, often at phrase endings, that contradict the base key. This composer insights lesson offers a taste of the Holst style and insight into this remarkably evocative work.\n
