Description
This begins with a Processional, Mvt. I. In the play on which the music is based, each planet twirls onto the stage and describes itself: Venus, the beautiful planet, the one with the most clouds; Earth, the planet with the longest memory; Pluto, where all dead souls go, etc. A Comet flies by and warns that the Sun is running out of energy and light. The Planets resolve to take the Sun’s last energy and fly off to a new star. A struggle ensues, the Sun dies. In Mvt. II, the Planets wander out into the universe, each Planet taking its turn at holding the dead Sun’s soul, so that they can bear its great emotional weight.
