Andante Maestoso
Gustav Holst's gorgeous string passage from his Jupiter movement of "The Planets" Suite is set for bells, organ and optional brass and percussion. This is straight ringing (there are only a couple of shakes) at its best - a big full sound for worship or concert. Have your choir listen to the Jupiter movement and get a feel for the larger movement from whence this came. Brass ensemble consists of 2 trumpets, French Horn, Trombone, Tuba and Timpani. It is scored in G Major and is 56 measures.
