Jennifer Lucy CookGUEST
... you've got survivorship bias.
Jennifer Lucy CookGUEST
Because at Holst's time, there were a whole bunch of wannabe Holsts who were getting performances and getting-
Chris MunceHOST
Yeah
Jennifer Lucy CookGUEST
... you know, commissions, and we don't hear 'em now.
Steve BramsonGUEST
I
NickHOST
have a theory it all goes back to Gustav Holst anyway.
NickHOST
So I think he's one of the more influential composers of all time.
NickHOST
Right.
MikeHOST
The opinions expressed in The Not-So-Grand Jury are those of the host themselves and not of their respective employers.
JeffHOST
The theme music for The Not-So-Grand Jury is from Gustav Holst's Jupiter and is in the public domain.

Austin HammondsGUEST
It wasn't the right vibe for what we were talking about.
Austin HammondsGUEST
But what was interesting is now we're having a conversation about about Gustav Holst.
Austin HammondsGUEST
We're not having a conversation about the story.
Austin HammondsGUEST
We're not having a conversation even in some terms, we're not even having a conversation about music, but we're having a conversation about something that to me means pages of research or pages of study, of practice.
Austin HammondsGUEST
And to me, okay, great.
Austin HammondsGUEST
So what I need to do for this is dive really deep into string orchestration.
Austin HammondsGUEST
So what are some of the other things that I can think of with Holst that I can compare this to? Let me go listen to Mahler.
Austin HammondsGUEST
Let me go listen to some Mahler symphonies that are similar and let me send him some of those and see what he thinks about that.
Jordan HoffmanHOST
Now, also, one other thing.
Jordan HoffmanHOST
Um, I, I'm, I've, if you subscribe to the Lodestar newsletter, I've already snuck in a couple of references to one of my favorite pieces of music, Gustav Holst's The Planets.
Jordan HoffmanHOST
And, um, as it happens, this is not much of a spoiler, but in the movie Chronovisor, they, they use, uh, Neptune like five times, and I was gonna bring it up to the guys and ask them about it.
Jordan HoffmanHOST
I forgot to do so.
Matt MaherGUEST
I, I kinda got back to a phase, it was around 2021, where I was like, you know, one of the earliest litmus tests for writing a great song for me was, did it make the hairs on my arm stand up? Did it move me, physically move me? Because I've always had that relationship with music, and it's not just worship music.
Matt MaherGUEST
I mean, the, like, the first time I heard, um, Stax, which is the hymn in the middle of Gustav Holst's, uh, the, the movement Jupiter from The Planets.
Matt MaherGUEST
I played in youth orchestra all through middle school and high school.
Matt MaherGUEST
I played bass trombone and sat in the back, so I counted a lot of measures.
Jeffrey DokkenGUEST
But it's like, how do we fill that other 60% of the house? And so you do Star Wars because Star Wars is going to get people in the door.
Jeffrey DokkenGUEST
But then you're like, okay, how do I get the Star Wars fans to come back? And it's trying to convince them that it's like, okay, maybe this obscure Beethoven piece that you don't know, you're going to love that, right? Because who do you think John Williams was pulling from when he was writing Star Wars? So influenced by Beethoven and Gustav Holst and all of this stuff.
Jeffrey DokkenGUEST
And so me, I just have to be out there telling people, don't let the fancy velvet seats turn you off of coming to the concert hall.
Jeffrey DokkenGUEST
Wear your jeans, wear your t-shirt.

John DoranGUEST
It's more European.
John DoranGUEST
The big touchstone in classical music is Mars, the Bringer of War by Gustav Holst.
John DoranGUEST
So I like music that leaves the blues behind.
John DoranGUEST
It's why I love post-punk.
Maurice PowellHOST
We don't hear very much these days of the music of Frank Bridge, but at one time he was a very highly thought of English composer, particularly in the 1920s, particularly highly thought of by Sir Henry Wood of Promenade Concert fame.
Maurice PowellHOST
Bridge studied at the Royal College of Music and his contemporaries there were Vaughan Williams and Holst.
Maurice PowellHOST
He later became the teacher of the young Benjamin Britten.
Maurice PowellHOST
As I say, we don't hear very much of his music.
