Gustav Holst / arr. Douglas Wagner – The Planets (FLEX arrangement)
Gustav Holst’s The Planets is a cornerstone of orchestral literature, and this FLEX-format arrangement by Douglas Wagner brings its majesty to younger players in concert band settings.
This through-played medley includes themes from three movements:
-
Venus, the Bringer of Peace – serene and atmospheric
-
Mars, the Bringer of War – rhythmically powerful and dramatic
-
Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity – joyful and melodically rich
Tailored for young bands with variable instrumentation, this 4-minute adaptation provides an excellent introduction to Holst’s musical language and orchestral colors.
Percussion accompaniment tracks are available for download—with and without click—making rehearsal and performance more accessible.
