Holst: The Planets – Mars (rehearsal excerpt) #classicalmusic #orchestra #theplanets #mars

A fiery Friday🔥

We’re bringing all the drama this afternoon with a peek behind the scenes into rehearsals for our The Planets concert this time last week! A truly terrifying Mars-terpiece, don't you think? 😉

I don't think I've ever heard a recording of this piece where the brass can sustain those notes as well as here.

Mars, The Bringer of War will always be my favorite piece in a minor key. I don’t know what it is, but I absolutely love it when the music has the loud minor chord like in the beginning of this short.

[MMMMM-vm]

Wowo.. This music is soooo evocative!!!

I love this Holst's Planets, mainly Mars!!! ( maybe because it's my regent as Arian...)

Mars - The Bringer of War. Is this an ominous reminder of the state of the World just now?

[Katagaki_san]

Like Villains who are preparing for war with millions of troops behind

Is it just me or does it seem a bit too fast? It's very good but I think a little faster than intended?

Shower though: Funny that Holst made his Mars in 5/4 knowing it is the 4th planet. Maybe he counted the Sun even if it's not a planet?

John Williams is the most talented plagiarist of all time.

Venture bros forever ruined this for me :-)
