Gustav Holst: The Planets, Op. 32 Performed by Royal Philharmonic Orchestra Conducted by Andrè Previn Gustav Holst (1874-1934) was an English composer well known for his orchestral suite The Planets.

Brahms’ Brahms’ Brahms’ Third Third Third In his early days, Brahms was attracted to the traditional form of classical music specifically Beethoven and Haydn. When the original form of the symphony was created, many composers tried to follow and fit the same mold. In this third symphony from an older Brahms, we see that he fits this mold by having this symphony divided into a fast-slow-minuet-fast. Just years before Brahms wrote his first symphony, he was declared as the heir to Beethoven. This obviously

In his symphony No. 9, Antonin Dvořák incorporates Slavic and African American themes, as well as his depiction of Native American culture to exemplify his nationalism as well as his comprehension of “true American culture,” thus pushing listeners, both during his time and today, to question the image of America as we see it.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was a brilliant composer from the classical era. He lived a short life; however, he was able to compose many great pieces of music before he passed away. One of his famous pieces is his Eine Kleine Nachtmusik piece that he wrote in 1787. The piece can be observed as good from a Christian perspective. Art is meant to be felt and not just heard or seen.
