Gustav Holst
Gustav Theodore Holst is an English composer, composer and teacher. Best known for the orchestra The Planets, he has composed many other works of many genres, although none have achieved comparable success. Its distinctive composing style is the product of many influences, with Richard Wagner and Richard Strauss being the most important in its early stages of development. Subsequent inspiration of the revival of early 20th century English folk songs, and the example of emerging modern composers such as Maurice Ravel, led Holst to develop and perfect his own style. There were professional musicians in the previous three generations of the Holst family and it was clear that from the very beginning he would go by the same calling. He hoped to become a pianist, but was thwarted by neuritis in his right arm. Despite his father's reservations, he pursued a career as a composer, studying at the Royal College of Music under the direction of Charles Villiers Stanford.
