| Description: Gustav Holst’s The Planets is one of the most iconic orchestral suites of the 20th century, with each movement representing the astrological character of a different planet. Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity, is among the most well-known movements of the suite, capturing a feeling of abundance, joy, and grandeur. This arrangement was inspired by Morales’ daughters and students becoming interested in “Jupiter” after its use in an episode of Bluey, produced by Ludo Studio. I felt compelled to give these young players, who were so moved and connected to this work, an opportunity to experience performing this music for themselves. |
