Mars, the Bringer of War from The Planets Op. 32 by Gustav Holst (1874 - 1934). By far the most well-known of the movements, Mars is the gold standard for a style of writing that Hollywood composers like John Williams would embellish for myriad action adventure films. Listen to this track and you'll hear the genesis of the Star Wars soundtrack. Mars was also used for the 1980 TV series entitled Cosmos by Carl Sagan.

Mars, from The Planets, Op. 32 by Gustav Holst is part of the English Masters Volume 3 CD collection
|
|
Our English Masters series concludes with a complete recording of Gustav Holst's The Planets. This work, perhaps more than any in the classical literature, has influenced modern film composers. Virtually all of the Hollywood, big-budget action adventure film soundtracks owe a debt to Holst's Planets suite. Listen to the movement titled "Mars" for an example.
