Actually, of Holst, I really enjoy the Jupiter suite. It's sort of has that
feel like a triumphant return of the forces that fought in the Mars suite.
I do like Mars, a real lot, it's the one everyone seems to know. What I
really like about it is the false ending, where it seem like maybe the bad
guy has been vanquished only to make one last stab at the forces of light.
(This is just my own interpretation).

| I was going to say I like Jupiter a whole lot too. It always at once reminded me of the god and the planet. I guess that was how it was supposed to be though. Anyway great music. -Jon "Wayne McCaul" <wmccaul@horizonhouse.com> wrote in message (...) (24 years ago, 13-Nov-00, to lugnet.space)
