This work's fifth movement features a slow, repeated two-note motif which represents the passingof time. The composer of this work adapted the andate maestoso theme from its fourth movementinto the hymn "I Vow to Thee, My Country." Its final movement ends with shimmering harp andcelesta arpeggios giving way to an offstage six-part wordless female chorus which slowly fades intosilence. This suite's first movement begins with the strings playing (*) col legno before transitioninginto a blaring brass march in 5/4 time. The subtitles of its seven movements, such as "the Bringer of Jollity"and "the Bringer of War," were inspired by astrology. For 10 points, name this suite by Gustav Holst whosemovements include "Saturn" and "Mars."
