Planets

Theme: Planets. Inspiration: "Drops of Jupiter" by Train and Holst's Planets. I purposefully placed the songs in this order; Classical piece, then one by a modern artist (if available). Earth wasn't included because The Planets has a loose basis in astrology, and in the practice of astrology, the reference point is Earth, so it is not included in the mapping. Pluto is also not included because it was not discovered until 1930, which is after Gustov Holst wrote the seven-movement orchestral suite.
