About

A second book from the pens of Vernet and Meckler comes in the guise of a short critical edition of Gustav Holst’s own arrangement for organ duet of this mystical movement from The Planets. This is the first edition of this remarkable and effective work that requires experimental techniques both in registration and keyboard effects. The arrangement of ‘Neptune’ was made before being substituted with a version for two pianos, probably for the sake of dissemination and to provide consistency by integrating the movement into the entire suite in its new version for two keyboards. Holst’s original choice of the organ duet is unusual for its time, as is his use of the organ, which relies on subtle and continual changes of registration and keyboards.
