Things to consider
Start with "Out of Your Sleep Arise" if you're adding a short, accessible choral piece to your season. For chamber groups, the String Quintet works well at the advanced high school or collegiate level; order both the score and parts together so your conductor can study the full texture while players work from individual lines. Holst's arrangements often blend tonal clarity with unexpected harmonic turns, so allow rehearsal time for intonation and blend in the choral works.
