In the original suite by Holst, there are seven movements: Mars, the Bringer of War; Venus, the Bringer of Peace; Mercury, the Winged Messenger; Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity; Saturn, the Bringer of Old Age; Uranus, the Magician; and Neptune, the Mystic. The movements are ordered in the planets' increasing distances from Earth. When Pluto was discovered in 1930, Holst did not write a movement for it. However, in 2000, Collin Matthews was hired to write a movement for Pluto. He named it "Pluto, the Renewer". Now that Pluto is no longer a planet, the suite is once again complete.
