However, this is a very beautiful scenario and it is based on a love poem by Kalidasa, India's chief poet in 1st Century AD.
El escenario coral de Holst La Nube Mensajera fue estrenada justo antes de que el compositor se embarcara en su obra maestra. No obstante, La Nube Mensajera ha sido injustamente olvidada, probablemente a causa de su pésimo estreno.
