Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Spectacular symphonic suite, scored for large orchestral forces and a wordless chorus, is divided into seven movements, the music of each embodying the astrological and mystical qualities of a different planet. Remarkable emotional sweep and innovative techniques have made the work a staple of the orchestral repertoire. Only full-size score available.

5.0 out of 5 stars a beautiful edition, January 3, 2006
By Timothy "Sutton" (Arkana, Montana) - See all my reviews
Clean, clear, large print, handsome edition of this well known and loved classic. Lists instrumentation on every page (some editions don't list the score instrumentation except for the first page. This often makes score study [especially big orchestral works like this or R. Strauss] very hard to read).

Great price as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must-Have for any "Planets" lover, November 25, 1999
By A Customer
If you want to unlock the music of The Planets, it's all right here. I have found this score both useful for learning firsthand compositional technique and for gaining a greater appreciation for the work as a whole.
