Gustav Holst (21 September 1874 – 25 May 1934) was an English composer, arranger and teacher.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And

Holst composed The Planets and

He also wrote two suites for band,

Since all these works are never bland,

As marketing might say, “on-brand”,

And since they’re also rather grand,

Both popular and in demand,

They're often played throughout the land.
