Dhahabu Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I'm doing a study on space with my 6yo son at the moment and I'd really like to include something about Holst's Planets Suite. Obviously we're mainly going to listen to the music but I would also love to include something about Holst himself (something fairly simple along the lines of Mike Venezia's books) or something that describes the music, the 'characters' of the planets Holst composed (ie that Mars is the god of war etc). Is there anything about Holst out there?? I've searched this forum, looked on loads of booklists and sites like Classics for Kids - but nothing! Thanks, Julie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhahabu Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 And it's not just books I would be interested in - websites too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenmama2 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Hmm, I don't know of any book but the liner notes of any good cd would cover all that anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimmy Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I've looked for resources for this before and didn't find much. If you find anything interesting, please do post it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErinD Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Here's a link: http://classicsforkids.com/composers/bio.asp?id=28 Not a ton of info, but a least a basic bio sketch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhahabu Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 Thanks for the link. I can't believe that's all there is though! Poor Holst - the Planets Suite is so good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
