Likely Russian, very likely Slavic, maybe but probably not Baltic composer. Era was maybe mid to late 1800s or slight chance of it being written in the first couple of decades of the 1900s

Long meandering mysterious piece. He claimed it was inspired by divine intervention or some kind of internal spiritual conjunction

The piece had a two word name I think. I also think the composer thought of it as his magnum opus. He may have been either sick with something or manic/hypomanic during part of his composition from it

You're probably thinking of Alexander Scriabin's 3rd, 4th, or 5th Symphonies. (You actually almost perfectly described his "Mysterium," more than anything else, but he died before he could write that one.)

did scriabin's estate owners ever publish any of that "Mysterium"? sounds very interesting and i swear i've heard parts of it in a UM chick's film school project way back. i think that's what i was referencing too so i must've actually heard this somewhere. she had (what i suspect to be that piece) that juxtaposed with a voiceover of artaud's deranged later-in-life stuff over a very slow dolly shot of a kaiju movie scale model city iirc

thoughts on holst's "planets"? too poppy? cribbed from? too modern?

IIRC Scriabin left behind a few dozen pages of sketches for a "Prelude" section in various states of completion, and they were subsequently expanded and "completed" by other niggers who probably shouldn't have tried to fuck with his stuff IMO. So you might have heard a recording of that, but it's basically on the same artistic level as "Beethoven's 10th" (look that one up if you want a laugh).

"The Planets" is 180, easily one of the greatest and most influential large orchestral suites of the last ~100 years. Perfect blend of great melodies and rich harmonies with a little modernist edginess thrown in here and there. To the extent that it might come off as "too poppy" in 2025, that's only because film scorers have been shamelessly stealing from it for generations now; when it premiered, many audience members found it to be very discordant and complex and difficult to sit through.

What's the deal with "Beethoven"s 10th? Also cr on the arrogance and spiritual miscegenation and molestations of having some condottiero try to "finish" the work of a genius. Like just take that money they pay the usurper composer and put it into the ER bill of the genius instead lmao these "people" are so inept and dume

Favorite track(s) from the Holst suite? I like Ouranos, Venus, and Mercury and probably in that order

They had some shitlib postmodern composer make this very muddled, sonically confused, and asterisk-laden Pluto addendum to round off the planets even though spiritually he already made a Pluto (his "Ode to Death" goes well at the end of Neptune) later in his composing career

The deal is exactly what you probably expect ((((heehee)))).

Gonna agree with Uranus, it's absolutely 180 from start to finish.

Colin Matthews is a faggot.

had you pegged as that or Saturn. a little surprised it wasn't Saturn

Are there pieces that you think that I haven't heard off the top of your head that also have the feel of that piece (that we agreed on, not Saturn)

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5675026&forum_id=2#48620407)

Directionally similar vibe to "Uranus":

- Berlioz "Symphonie Fantastique" (start with last two movements)

- Saint-Saens "Danse Macabre"

- Dukas "Sorcerer's Apprentice"

- Dvorak Tone Poems (start with "The Water Goblin")

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5675026&forum_id=2#48620458)

Never heard Dvorak's stuff and thought that that word was just a PC keyboard thing so I will check him out poast haste
