Mars (“The Bringer of War,” from The Planets)

In all of music literature, there is little that is more breathtaking in its raw musical power than this movement from Gustav Holst’s The Planets. A thundering war theme introduces the work in a dramatic 5/4 meter with hugely successful harmonic and rhythmic counterpoint. Mars is guaranteed to bring your audience to its feet, resounding with applause! (3:16)
