Word of the day
for September 30 | |
Plutonian adj | |
To mark the premiere of English composer Gustav Holst’s orchestral suite The Planets on 29 September 1918, we are featuring a series of words relating to the planets in the Solar System. Although Pluto was discovered four years before Holst’s death, he never wrote a movement for what was then thought to be a new planet (Pluto is now regarded as a dwarf planet). However, Colin Matthews composed a movement called Pluto, the Renewer in 2000. | |
