  • Reading Comprehension Gustav Holst
    Gustav Holst Comprehension Gustav Holst was born in Cheltenham on September 21st 1874. He came from a line of talented musicians. Holst was taught how to play the piano by his father, however a problem with his nerves ruled out a career as a pianist. He later took up the trombone instead. His first conducting job was with a local church choir which he found to be excellent experience. Holst attended the Royal College of Music where he studied composition and met fellow student, Ralph Vaughn Williams, another great composer. The two became great friends for life. Holst’s wife was a soprano. He instantly fell in love with her but she was not particularly impressed by him at first. For a while, he supported himself and his wife by playing the trombone professionally alongside composing in his spare time. Holst became a teacher and worked at St Paul’s Girls’ School, Hammersmith where they opened a new music wing in his honour in 1913. The music wing housed a sound-proof room where Holst could work without being disturbed. Holst became very interested in astrology which was the inspiration for his best known piece, ‘The Planets’. This launched him into real stardom, however he was never happy to be in the limelight as he was a shy man. The first performance of ‘The Planets’ was given in September 1918. Each movement describes the planet’s character, for example, Venus is the bringer of peace, Uranus is about a magician and Saturn is based on the bringer of old age.

  • Gustav Holst (PDF)
    Gustav Holst Gustav Holst was born at 4 Pittville Terrace in 1874 to Adolphus von Holst, a piano teacher and his wife Clara. Holst’s mother died in 1882 from heart disease when he was only eight years old. Holst and his little brother Emil were looked after by their aunt Nina, who along with his father, taught him how to play the piano and compose music. He attended Cheltenham Grammar School (now Pate’s Grammar School) and, when he was twenty one years old, he held his first concert at the Montpellier Rotunda (now Lloyds TSB). He then studied music composition at the Royal College of Music in London and became a music teacher at St Paul’s Girls’ School in London. Whilst working as a music teacher, Holst wrote many pieces of music. His most famous collection of music was The Planets suite, written between 1914 and 1917. This consisted of seven very different pieces of music, each representing the different ‘personalities’ of the planets. The most famous piece is Jupiter: Bringer of Jollity, a section of which is used as the theme for Rugby world cups. Although he was unfit for military service in the First World War, in 1918 Holst joined the YMCA Education Department, helping to organise music activities in military training camps, hospitals and prisoner of war camps. In order to avoid suspicion over his nationality, Holst agreed to drop the ‘von’ from his name, although he discovered that the family had never been entitled to it in the first place. In 1927, Holst was honoured by his home town of Cheltenham with a two hour concert of his work, including The Planets, held in the Town Hall.

  • The Carol and Its Context in Twentieth-Century England Sean Vogt
    The Carol and Its Context in Twentieth-century England Sean Vogt loria in excelsis deo, et in terra G pax hominibus (“Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace to all people”), Luke 2:14, was likely the fi rst carol ever heard, sung by the angels over the fi elds of Bethlehem. It would be more than a millennium before the next documented account of carol singing. In this case, it happened in Greccio, Italy, where St. Francis made the fi rst Christ- mas crèche (crib) in 1223, in response to the Manichaeism1 of the eleventh and twelfth centuries—recreating the stable, even obtaining an ox and ass. People from around the village began to gather around St. Francis’s biblical re-creation. As a result, the people “poured out their hearts in praises to God; and the friars sang new canticles…”2 The dawn of the Protestant Reforma- tion brought carol singing—amongst a myriad of other activities—to an abrupt halt. The Reformation during the six- teenth and seventeenth centuries re- sulted in a fragmented church. The Lu- therans viewed the feast of Christmas as a popish abuse. Since the Calvinist Gustav Holst (early 1920s) in front of movement was quite popular, Christmas Queen’s Hall (©Holst Birthplace Museum/ was consequently unpopular in England. Cheltenham Art Gallery & Museum) Christmas Day was abolished by Parlia- ment from 1644–1660; The Book of Com- Christmas Carols New and Old (1871) mon Prayer had no seasonal hymns. It being just a few examples. was not until the Supplement to the New From the Piae Cantiones, which itself Version of the Psalms (1700) that interest contained medieval carols, to the Vic- in carols was rekindled.

    JUNE 2019 Welcome to the early summer newsletter. THREE CHOIRS FESTIVAL Nevertheless, music by contemporary composers is well featured. I make no apologies for referring, again, to the host of Holst’s music due to be performed at this year’s Three Choirs Festival The Malcolm Arnold Society has analysed the performances of which runs from 26th July to 3rd August. The host cathedral city works by British composers at the Proms. is Gloucester. As I mentioned in the April 2019 newsletter, there is much music by Holst to be heard at this year’s Three Choirs. The top ten makes interesting reading:- John Graham, Chris Collier (co-trustees) and I will be at the Edward Elgar 899 Festival between Tuesday 30th July and Saturday 3rd August. Ralph Vaughan Williams 351 We will be wearing our badges. If you are able to attend, do Benjamin Britten 301 please make yourselves known to us. We look forward to William Walton 272 seeing you there. Frederick Delius 266 Gustav Holst 191 THE PROMS Hubert Parry 148 John Ireland 129 On a less positive note, there is nothing by Holst at this year’s Charles Villiers Stanford 120 Proms, other than the annual performance of The Planets. Granville Bantock 117 Regrettably, English music does not feature as much as it should. To summarise:- What is of particular interest is the previous success of certain composers, who are now almost wholly forgotten. For example, Malcolm Arnold – Peterloo Overture Haydn Wood and Henry Walford Davies secured 92 and 76 performances, respectively. Hamilton Harty secured 50.

  • Holst Family Contribution to Cheltenham Music Making in the 19Th Century
    The Holst family contribution to Cheltenham music making in the 19th century by Graham Lockwood Today Cheltenham basks in the fame that comes from being the town in which the composer of The Planets was born. The Holst Birthplace Museum attracts visitors from around the world and a near life-size sculpture of Gustav Holst now enhances Imperial Gardens in the town centre. For this the community must thank Gustav’s great grandfather, Matthias, born in Riga in 1769. It was Matthias who came to England and who was later to add the name of Holst to those contributing to Cheltenham’s growing musical tradition1. This story began very early in the 19th century when Matthias Holst took the bold decision to give up his role as a professional musician attached to the Imperial Russian Court in St. Petersburg and, with his young family, to settle in London. Matthias’s talents equipped him to earn a living both as a composer and a teacher of playing the harp. His choice of London may have been influenced by stories of the financial successes of those continental musicians who visited or lived there. Haydn is reported to have accumulated 24,000 gulden from his two visits to England in the 1790s compared with just 2,000 gulden from his many years in the service of the Esterhazy family2. Handel had made a considerable fortune from his many years in London in the 18th century. At that time the English were prepared to pay well for musical performance and tuition, but they also had their prejudices.
