Holst Was Right

[shostakovich]

When Holst wrote The Planets, he left out Pluto (for good reason, since it was discovered about 15 years after the music). And it took till now for astronomy to confirm he had it right.

O.K., so do we get a couple of Little Suites for Pluto & #10 (Xena)? A cross between those things with barking dogs and Zorba the Greek?

[piqaboo]

Add in that somethingeranother #100 sub-planet too (Oh! So much to learn. My head hurts!)

I posted earlier on the 'News' thread that Colin Manchester's addition to The Planets, Pluto would now have to be relegated to the musical dustbin.

I suppose someone could commission a collection of such works, including Xena, Gabrielle, and those numbered rocks, and call it Space Debris.

Too bad Philip Glass isn't still alive! He'd be all over the task of trying to musically describe all these too numerous to name, yet all slightly different, almost insignificant worlds.

I thought Philip Glass was still alive?

Ray, I think you have confused him with Philip Grass.

That's right! Thank you for the clarification Nav! My mistake!

[BenODen]

Hmm, Cat, you appear to be right! I demand my Kuiper movement to the Planets Mr Glass!

Congrats. Now if only you could consolidate your post counts.

LOL, well, it was only 15 or so posts under the other account, so hey, no problem. I'll just throw some beer around sometime when I have a chance.
