* TimeMarchesOn: ''The Planets'' was composed in 1915, before Pluto was named a planet in 1930. Holst was still alive at the time, but his MagnumOpusDissonance regarding ''The Planets'' meant that he had no interest in writing a movement for Pluto. For decades people felt this absence was unfortunate, and other composers such as Clive Strutt and Colin Matthews have added movements about Pluto to the work, which are occasionally included in concerts and recordings. The situation changed again when in 2006 Pluto was declared to be a dwarf planet, making Holst's musical piece up to date again.

Gustav Theodore Holst (21 September 1874 - 25 May 1934) was an English composer (of [[UsefulNotes/{{Sweden}} Swedish]] and UsefulNotes/{{Latvia}}n descent) of the late 19th to early 20th century. He suffered from neuritis, so he had significant difficulty with his right-hand motor skills. This shattered his childhood dream of being a concert pianist.
