today we're going to be looking at a piece by gustav holst is his suite for
orchestra called the planets and they're going at Jupiter this piece this theme
from Jupiter actually has a secondary name
it is also called I vow to thee my country

mmm
yeah
mmm
yeah
the
yeah
so here we'll stop to begin with the piece will start in this position here
is your middle C
before you begin the two first notes you want to make sure that fingers two three
and four are on these notes respectively
once they're there you can begin with 12
three is alone
one and four that's the first little snippet
they want to learn that and we move on right away
5 4 12
be aware also that i'm not at all paying attention to the rhythm of the moment
we're just going to look at the notes on their own and then incorporate with them
afterwards
moving on the G is going to stay put but it's going to be replayed so we have 1 2
& 5 5 moves up and then for ok moving on 13 and five now these top to move down
by step right so it's 135
four to one
54
that next 5 1
for two or five one three one doesn't really matter too much just be aware
that you want to have the top node connected the e here i'll be really nice
or
so to recap this section we get one two three
for
next 5 4 12
five four three four -
next 5131
i recommend taking as much time as you need to learn these small sections as
best as you can sort of turned them into muscle memory turn them into second
nature
because once you incorporate the rhythm you're going to want to only focus on
well the rhythm at this point you don't want to be juggling both notes and with
him
so learn the notes really well and then come back for the rhythm which is as
follows
now these two that moment just there now that's going to be that's a pick up to
this
now these two notes together this is actually down beat this is the beginning
of against the peace
these two are kind of an intro i would say so if you don't want to pick up is
it up quite a bit of an intro into the first full bar
so when we count it we're going to get one two three one
23
three
yeah
23
one
- I play that one more time in a lot slower so you can follow and positive
play as needed so that you can see exactly where I am where what note falls
31
23
let's have a quick look at this we start with two quick ones three and and a slow
one
this one we're going to hold for one and two one and two and three and four
the next thing to note is that this g is in between the end of 3 and the
beginning of the next bar
three and one
one more time from the top we get one sorry
three
one
and two and three and one
moving on one and two and three and one and two
and three and one
and two and so take your time and absolutely feel comfortable with that
before adding the left because too difficult to realize in the right hand
only the left hand is piece of cake it's just octaves
so on and so forth once you have that down let's put them together with the
left hand a plate slow and I'll narrate what happened to the left as we go
ok 31
so we have C and
f & 2 & 3
so we're going to get
CNF
d and e
after that we get now
after that we get and it's all sort of punctuated by those sort of rests
rest
like that and two and three and one and two
+ 3 + and -
and
and there it is that takes care of the first full phrase if you'd like to
continue learning please visit our website and I'll go through the entire
piece slowly and we'll look at some of the pedaling as well as a general point
of process for this piece
pedal changes should occur for the most part like ninety percent of the time
wherever the left-hand changes notes it's not a hundred percent true but it's
a general rule of thumb that will definitely help the things along
alright so until the next video see you guys later
take care
