Uranus is one of my favourites from Gustav Holst.

Gustave Holst’s ‘The Planets’ has seven movements. Does not include the earth. Surprisingly, the inspiration was not fully derived from astronomy. The Planets was based on an interpretation of the astrological essence of each planet in the solar system as known at that time. Uranus was characterized as
“Uranus, the Magician”; boisterous, powerful and icy.
