«Star Wars & Planeten» – Festspiele im Schloss

حول هذا المكان

If you listen to Gustav Holst’s The Planets as a Star Wars fan, you’ll be amazed. Not only are both works set in the vastness of space in terms of content, they are also remarkably similar musically. The famous Imperial March can be found in Holst’s furious Mars, the brutal and often repeated chord dissonance from the main theme forms the end of the same movement in Holst, and all the mystical, magical sounds from Williams’ score are closely related to Neptune. These astonishing parallels are, of course, no coincidence, because Williams, like all great artists, knew how to take inspiration from existing masterpieces. And Holst’s seven-movement suite became a major influence on Western film music as a whole. So Jupiter, with its radiant brass fanfares, is virtually a blueprint for the heroic, majestic main theme of a big blockbuster, from Superman to Gladiator and, naturally, Star Wars.
