The farther you put the mic away the less detail you will have. It will sound as if someone turned the reverb all the way up. The trick is to get it just far enough away to receive an ensemble sound and then if you need more space add it later with reverb.

.... and Holst copied that from Mahler's 2nd symphony (first movement).

Hi, I've been working on a whole tone scale assignment for class and I have a few questions hopefully someone can answer. First, since all tones are equal, does harmonic progression matter? Secondly, how would you write a period if V-I doesn't work any longer? Or any other functional harmony? Thanks

What are the best books or sources of information on form that you have found? I have a couple of books, however they are tailored less to the composer. Thanks
