Jupiter

Gustav Holst

For tuba and piano

In B♭ major, range D2 to B♭3

From Holst’s The Planets: a wide, open sky at evening, and a tune that climbs higher with every phrase until it rings out over everything. Holst later turned it into the hymn “I Vow to Thee, My Country” (1921); the piano part is Holst’s own, from his version of The Planets for two pianos.
