Recomposing 'The Planets'

The largest work I will attempt is recomposing a suite of classical pieces- The Planets by Gustav Holst.  I will use parts of the original work and mix it with my own ideas and composition.  In light of this I have made notes as to the nature of each planet in order to re-create this in such a way as to incorporate ideas based on the planets themselves.
