Gustav Holst's "Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity" is a movement from his orchestral suite "The Planets," composed between 1914 and 1916.

The movement begins with a noble and expansive theme played by the strings, evoking a sense of grandeur and majesty. As the music progresses, Holst introduces various melodies and motifs that capture the jovial and celebratory spirit of Jupiter. Throughout the movement, Holst explores contrasting moods, from serene and introspective passages to powerful and exuberant climaxes. The music builds to a majestic and triumphant finale, with the full orchestra joining in a glorious affirmation of life and joy.
