English composer, arranger, and teacher (1874-1934) best known for his orchestral suite The Planets. Partly-printed DS, one page, 7.25 x 11.25, 1925. Memorandum of agreement between Gustav Holst and J. Curwen and Sons regarding the contract by which "the publishers undertook to publish the work of the composer entitled The Planets, and to pay royalties on sale thereof." By this agreement, the publishers must issue the orchestral parts of the work only under a license (rather than selling them outright) and confirm related terms for Holst's royalties. Boldly signed at the conclusion by Gustav Holst, and countersigned by two witnesses and the director of the publishing house. Double-matted and framed to an overall size of 12.5 x 16.5. In fine condition, with an old tape stain to the top right. A superior document pertaining to Holst's most popular orchestral suite, The Planets.
