Wasn't Pluto discovered AFTER the suite was written?

Pluto was added to the suite by Colin Matthews. (Holst expressed no interest in doing so himself):

I doubt it. The Planets Suite was completed in 1916 and Pluto was not discovered until 1930. Holst died in 1934.

As far as I know there are seven movements, one for each of the planets then known (except Earth).
