Gustav Holst was an English composer and was a music teacher for over 20 years. Holst is most famous for his orchestral suite "The Planets". Having studied at the Royal College of Music in London, his early work was influenced by Ravel, Grieg, Richard Strauss, and Ralph Vaughan Williams, but most of his music is highly original, with influences from Hindu spiritualism and English folk tunes.
