Johan de Meij's third symphony, Planet Earth, unmistakeably marks a new peak in his large musical output. The symphonic version was premiered in 2006 and has now been arranged for wind orchestra by the composer. Planet Earth is an impressive ode to Mother Earth. De Meij has pulled out all stops to sing the earth's praises in a heart-rending manner. Splendid melodies, intense intermezzi, surprising sound patterns and noises/sounds from another world create a breathtaking musical experience with an amazing climax. A thrilling and rousing symphony! Duration: 45.00
