Gustav Holst knew a thing or two about the cold of winter. He felt it badly and would walk around the St Paul's Girls School in Hammersmith, where he taught music, draped in a blanket to keep warm. The school is also where he composed The Planets, and in today's Music Map Sara Mohr-Pietsch sets a musical course across the galaxy towards the freezing blasts of Holst's mysterious Neptune, The Mystic. From the far reaches of one of the most popular pieces of classical music ever written, Neptune's delightfully icy terrain lures us on via music by Jean Sibelius, Patrick Moore, Hector Berlioz, Josef Haydn, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and a work by Holst's daughter Imogen Holst.
