Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
A comprehensive study of the major orchestral works of English composer Holst (1874-1934). It establishes a theory of the development of his musical language and rhetoric method as manifest in orchestral pieces composed in and after 1906, based on the music criticism of the turn of the century and creative analysis of the works themselves. Includes three previously unpublished letters by Holst. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
