Gustav Hoist (1874-1934)
World War I was a central experience in Holst's development, and afterwards he clearly felt the need to exorcise its horrors through music. But then Holst became increasingly liberated from his previous concerns with folk song and Orientalism, and began the search for that 'tender austerity ' which is the hallmark of his later music.
