We asked school children across the UK (also known as our budding Ten Pieces astronauts) to create their own piece of music about our planet, Earth.
Take a look at some of the creative responses we had in creating Holst’s ‘missing’ movement from The Planets suite, inspired by looking down on the Earth from space!
Although the chance to feature on our website and BBC Radio 3 has passed, you can still take on our Earth Mission by visiting our Earth Mission page for our step-by-step lesson plan!
Congratulations to Class 4J from Hindley Green Community Primary School!
We're delighted to congratulate Class 4J from Hindley Green Community Primary School and St Katharines Primary School for having their Earth Mission creative response broadcast by BBC Radio 3!

There’s still time to take on our Earth Mission...
Your Earth Mission, should you choose to accept it…
With the 50th anniversary of the moon landing, the 100th anniversary of the premiere of Holst’s The Planets and Earth Day approaching – 2018/2019 is a great school year to explore the topic of space.
Ten Pieces Trailblazers
Hans Zimmer has also written a piece of music called Earth for our Ten Pieces Trailblazers!
