A melody from this composition was set to the lyrics of "I Vow to Thee, My Country," by Cecil Spring-Rice, and a movement was added to it by Colin Matthews. One of its movements opens with four notes on a solo French horn, the only brass instrument to play in that movement. Another movement features a ffff ("fortiss-iss-iss-issimo") climax in 5/4 time. An offstage, wordless female chorus inspired by this piece's composer's time teaching at an all- girls' school appears in its movement subtitled "the Mystic" that precedes a movement called "the Winged Messenger." For 10 points, name this orchestral suite written by Gustav Holst with movements titled for entities like Mars, Neptune, and Jupiter.
