The influences on the G.Holst's creation of scientific researches by R.W.Frazer, poetry by W.Whitman are revealed; the characteristics of the composer’s works belonging to the Orientalist direction are given; the meaning of the Choral Hymns from the Rig Veda as the central opus of the "Sanskrit period" of the G.Holst’s creation is revealed in the article.
