Alex Davis Not really John Williams fault, he was instructed by George Lucas to make music that sounded similar to that of Holsts planets. This happens all the time to composers who compose for film, they don't really get a say in the matter. Trust me, if they had the choice they would do something else.
Fun fact! When they were making star wars in the 70’s they used this song to back a lot of their scenes when they were still putting it together. And Lucas liked it so much that he basically asked Williams to score a soundalike so that they could use it in their movie. That’s why it sounds so similar

Everyone is talking about John Williams and Star Wars when it comes to Holst's Mars. If John Williams was inspired by it, Hans Zimmer just changed a few notes and slapped Gladiator on it.
4:17 Everyone's talking about Star Wars and shit. Can we please talk about how Nintendo straight ripped this part out of Mars and made it Bowser's theme?
@@t33nyplaysp0p ruclips.net/video/JvG082Zpmhw/видео.html Ignore the title of the video. That theme is used in a lot of Mario games for when Bowser attacks.
You sure about ripping? It's a classic already, and therefore free real estate. I mean, Mad Max Fury Road didn't rip Georges Bizet when included his song in the OST.
@@d.whillmar1740 I didn't mean "ripped" as in "ripped off" or any other malicious intent. I meant as in like they ripped a part of the sheet music and then taped it into their own sheet music. If the song was a midi file, they control+C'd it. Ripped it straight out of the code.
Are you so stupid that you think music gets worse with time? That makes absolutely no sense. Were you born this stupid or did your parents drop you on your head?
I think it's more the case that there's nothing original anymore. You should check out Henry Purcell. His 'Music for the Funeral of Queen Mary', better known as the Clockwork Orange theme, has been so much covered in electronic music and by club DJ's that you'd hardly believe it was written in 1695.
Stuart M. hmm Holst's work is great but to think originality ended in 1916 is a bit of an overreach. I can think of at least 3 movements in Jazz that came about post 1916 (swing, bebop and free) which cast doubt on that assertion, I won't even go into funk, soul or rock and roll. And then there's other regions such as Latin America, the Caribbean, and Africa which all had innovative movements in music. Holst's is great but that statement is an oversimplification at least.
davidevgen Hardly mate. Scriabin, Stravinsky, Ravel, Debussy, Bartok and Schönberg had already released way more daring pieces and were already popular at the time.
+Stuart M. Um, Yann Tiersen, John Williams, Jack Johnson, Phillip Glass, Passenger, the Beatles, Caravan Palace, and Joe Hisaishi would like an apology now.
Several Star Wars themes came out of this piece: The section at 1:22 sounds very similar to the Rebel Fanfare. The drawn out section at 6:35 is very similar to the music that plays just before the Death Star blows up. A similar piece of music is also used in the opening during the shot of the Star Destroyer pursuing the Tantive IV. I think John Williams actually said that Lucas asked him to make the music sound like that when he was scoring the movie. I'm guessing that Holst's music was probably used in the rough cut of the movie as a placeholder before the score was finished. Some say that this piece sounds similar to The Imperial March, but I've also heard that about Chopin's funeral march. I can't pinpoint any particular moments that stand out, but it's definitely possible.
In addition to Star Wars, battlerock Galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy has a clear reference to it. I think it’s pretty much just become tradition for every space-themed media to include this motif in some way.
Pay close attention to Gustav Holst's 'The Planets' and you'll hear the inspiration for John Williams' musical score for the Star Wars saga, Jerry Goldsmith's musical score for Star Trek: The Motion Picture and Alien, and James Horner's musical score for Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan and Aliens. Gustav Holst invented the musical score for the modern science fiction-space epic.
Kent Tang Yep! Hans Zimmer was also influenced by Holst. I only omitted him because Gladiator wasn't a space epic. It would be great if Zimmer did one of those, though.
57 dislikes from 57 people who were expecting a guided tour of the surface of Mars by whoever this 'Gustav' chap is... Seriously, who could dislike this?!
78 now. And not only disliked something so sublime, but actually went to the trouble of "disliking" it. That is what baffles me. When I come across something I do not care for, I simply move along to something else... but perhaps I am just odd that way...
Not only an inspiration for Star Wars score, but also inspired early heavy metal. The original Black Sabbath riff was Tony Iommi playing Mars on guitar with some alterations
Well i got the chance to play this piece for my school band concert! but when there is like 15 of us its hard for us. it was cool though! i got to play Flute but part 2 so it we did with what we could!
SD501st me i was on the toilet and thought: well that feel like a EPIC moment... Silly title pop into my mind: "revenge of the shit" "Hemorrhoid strike back" "The last poop" To name a few... 😂😂😂
technically, it was Geezer hearing King crimson's COVER of this, live, in 1969, that CHANGED Sabbath from a BLUES band (their first lp is ALL Cream rips, really, but great ones... OTHER than "Black Sabbath", which is the SONG that created the BAND. It was the light bulb moment, and they changed their name from Earth to Black Sabbath, and went DARK and sinister, ala "King crimson" (named for Satan!), and BS ditched their BLUES side mostly. KC is technically the founders of metal, i'd argue. (Songs like "Helter Skelter" are NOT metal. it's PUNK and noise rock, but metal isn't just distortion. It's certain kinds of grooves or feeling.)
This piece is like the ultimate Captcha test. If you play this to someone at full volume and they don't get shivers with their hairs sticking up on end, then clearly they aren't human.
I find listening to the Holst Planet Suite tracks in a particular order changes the entire effect. I like to imagine the suite as follows: 1. Mercury: Childhood (Playing by the creek - Fun) 2. Venus: First Love (Romantic atmosphere by moonlight) 3. Mars: Young Adulthood and going to war (Conflict - Seeing things that can never be forgotten) 4. Jupiter: Adulthood (Glorious - Building a future and family) 5. Saturn: Old-Age (Creeping up - Making tasks harder, but ending with final contentment) 6. Uranus: Memories (Telling your grandchildren about the past but with a whimsical flurry) 7. Neptune: Dying (The final moments before departing with your loved ones around you) 8. (Optional) Ode to death: Transition to the afterlife It works like a life’s story, compressed into a single suite. Give it a try!
@@sapphoenixthefirebird5063 I’m not sure why Pluto is referred to by some as “the renewer,” but check out the Royal Scottish National Orchestra’s recording of “Pluto: The Renewer.” It’s an astounding piece by British composer Colin Matthews that really fits the dwarf planet many of us wish was still a true planet.
@@plunger9165 Earth has no significance in astrology, which is what the suite was inspired by, for one. For another, he was overwhelmed by the popularity the suite brought him.
People here act as if Williams stole this music, not realizing that: 1. Lucas specifically asked for a space opera, and before Williams finished his compositions they used these songs as place holders. The editing of the film was largely built around these songs. 2. Williams has a similar sound to these songs, but to call it copying misses the point. There isn’t a single piece of music from the last 50 years that doesn’t take inspiration, and JW actually changed things around enough for them to be their own unique works.
I got to hear this played by a symphony. Awesome!! It's amazing how this composer created music for each of the planets and nailing each one like he knew them personally, like he had visited them. What inspiration he had!
Technically he wrote them for the Roman gods (hence venus was happy go lucky despite the fact it's the most hostile to us) , so he probably studied mythology a lot
You’ve got it all wrong. Holst and a group of artists vacationed in Majorca, Spain, in the summer of 1913, where Holst read a book on horoscopes one of them brought. He used what he learned to create the suite. All seven movements’ names are named after the planets’ *astrological* qualities. Mars is all about action, Venus focuses on inner peace, Mercury holds court over communication, Jupiter stakes its claim of good fortune as the centerpiece of _The Planets,_ Saturn governs time and setting and staying within reasonable limits, Uranus gets its moment to shine with magic, and Neptune is associated with dreams and the unknown. Do your homework before you start posting jokes. I did mine when writing a creative piece on the planets and dwarf planets.
Classical music hits different. There are so many pieces that inspired so many pop culture movies/tv shows and many people don't even realize it. I'm going through a bit of a musical awakening atm.
You've landed on the classical suite that, yes, has been used, repurposed, transformed, diced up, and then spread everywhere without anyone bluntly telling you this is 'gustav holst'. I had the same thoughts when I discovered "Gustav Holst's; the planets" years ago. "Why do i, sort of, know all these songs already?" "How come no one mentions these when theyre used so liberally?" I'm glad I got to the source eventually because I really like them despite their ubiquity.
holy crap..... i heard this song a few years ago in the car in the parking lot of safeway, and i somehow remembered it, but not what it was. i told my mom about it and she recommends mars, and holy crap i found it. after four years. I AM TRIUMPHANT btw, i play clarinet so i enjoyed looking for a clarinet in here.
No need to be that picky. Back during my years of playing classical music, the musicians commonly referred to "songs" in everyday speech. Besides, if you can't come up with a better alternative than "music", it's like saying "that's not a Toyota, it's a car." Makes tons of sense, huh? Maybe it's not entirely on point, but Gustav Holst also wrote something called Second Suite in F, and the second movement of that piece is named "Song Without Words."
Gustav Holst set the standard for Sci-Fi/Science Fantasy incredibly high way back in 1930. Oh man, this suite is incredibly powerful! It even inspired John Williams when he composed his first score for Star Wars: A New Hope. It just doesn't get any better than this. 😁😇❤️
+Chotabear Relaxing is one of them unless you're a pansy. In the same way Apocalyptica is relaxing or Tool is relaxing, the harmonics in general overrule whatever ups and downs there are.

+Cookie Monster Well since Lucas used a lot of classical music (including Holst) as temp scores for A New Hope, it's not all that surprising Williams was inspired by them. I mean listen to this piece. It's really hard not to be :)

I remember hearing parts of it during the intro of the RUclipsr Heir of Carthage and how I desperately wanted to know what it was from. I found out, listened to this whole piece and thus my passion for classical music was awoken. It may no longer be my favorite composition, but it definitely has a special place in my heart.
@Epic Oh fellow clarinet, just wait till you reach jupiter... It opens with staccato 16th notes at ~76 BPM in cut time. (I also can't articulate quickly; I feel you.)
If I remember correctly, this is called Mars the bringer of war. Doesn't it just sound like war? I can just see column after column of armored warriors, spears gleaming in the sun or row after row of planes or Klingon warbirds. It beat star wars or star trek coming out in the 30's I think. It's amazing. The other pieces are great, too.
Mars was written in 1914, the year WWI broke out. So contemporary to it would have been trench warfare and the Maxim machinegun. Infantry would generally have been carrying bolt action rifles and fighting in trenches. It would be a few more years before the first use of armored mechanized vehicles (some prototypes would be fielded in the later years of WWI, but mostly experimental and far less terrifying than what would come in the 30's and 40's). Air power was mostly hot air balloons and blimps, only a few very primitive fighting aircraft (mostly fabric skinned bi- and triplanes) would fly, and also without much impact yet in the grander scheme of things. The really shocking part to me is that despite the bleak, almost apocalytpic feel of song's end, it would be another 20 years before any real scientific steps were taken to develop the atom bomb, and yet another decade before one would be successfully tested. And it's with that, that I'm just awe-stricken by the Holst's genius. It fits as well to a conceptualization of two men hacking at each other with fists and blades to the last dying breath as it does to the blitzkrieg of mechanized warfare and to the immolation of the entire planet in the unholy flames of nuclear chain reaction.
You guys talk about Star Wars and Williams: but my dudes this is basically the Gladiator soundtrack. Listen to the Barbarian Horde and it’s right there. This is Zimmer
@@adamdesanti6713 Not necessarily unsettling; it's more that it makes the music sound inherently driven. Time signatures with more than 4 beats per measure are usually compound, meaning that each measure has a consistent rhythmic subdivision. In this piece, for example, the 5/4 rhythm is subdivided into a group of three followed by a group of two, which creates a secondary emphasis on the fourth beat (ONE-two-three-FOUR-five). When the number of beats per measure is odd, the subdivisions are necessarily of different sizes. Our brains tends to interpret the smaller subdivisions as "flowing into" the larger ones, which has implications for the rhythmic identity of the piece. Again using this piece as an example, the fourth and fifth beats of each measure are felt as a pickup to the first beat of the next measure, which imparts a strong sense of forward momentum and contributes to its militaristic feel.
lucas was going to originally use the planets for star wars until his friend, speilberg introduced him to a young john williams. williams decided to keep lucas' original inspiration, and inspire himself to write an amazing score.
I know Holst wrote this to reflect the war god Mars, but it captures the cruelty, violence, and terror of war. It can reflect the mud choked fields of Flanders in 1916 to the inter galactic battles between the Earth Defense Force and the Gammilon Imperial fleet in 2199. It brings both shivers and tears to me. Holst was one hell of a composer and his work has aged well!

Actually, the composer of the Gladiator music got sued because of the strong similarities. (web.archive.org/web/20071230030535/www.musicfromthemovies.com/article.asp?ID=695)
Pensar que esto fue hecho a principios del siglo XX y fue la fuente de inspiración de grandes compositores de películas y hasta de videojuegos. Es como oír muchos sountracks juntos en una sola pieza, muy adelantado para su tiempo.
It's not unusual for composers to be asked to write an imitation of the style/sound of an already existing piece of music for certain scenes. We had to do the same when doing a film score in a composition class. However, classical composers have been doing this sort of thing before film ever existed in the forms of fantasias, transformations, variations, etc.
John Williams has come out and stated that Gustav Holst was one of his favorites. He based much of his pieces off the Planet Suite as a whole. Some of the fun pieces to point out would be this one and Jupiter. Fun to listen to and play.
My man Gustav Holst basically composed Star Wars 60 years before it came out. He was definitely ahead of his time. :)

Are you so stupid that you think music gets worse with time? That makes absolutely no sense. Were you born this stupid or did your parents drop you on your head?
1914 to 1916? this guy was way ahead of his time.
I think it's more the case that there's nothing original anymore. You should check out Henry Purcell. His 'Music for the Funeral of Queen Mary', better known as the Clockwork Orange theme, has been so much covered in electronic music and by club DJ's that you'd hardly believe it was written in 1695.
Stuart M. there are still original things. its just hard. its always hard to be original.
Stuart M. hmm Holst's work is great but to think originality ended in 1916 is a bit of an overreach. I can think of at least 3 movements in Jazz that came about post 1916 (swing, bebop and free) which cast doubt on that assertion, I won't even go into funk, soul or rock and roll. And then there's other regions such as Latin America, the Caribbean, and Africa which all had innovative movements in music. Holst's is great but that statement is an oversimplification at least.
davidevgen Hardly mate.
Scriabin, Stravinsky, Ravel, Debussy, Bartok and Schönberg had already released way more daring pieces and were already popular at the time.

Several Star Wars themes came out of this piece:
The section at 1:22 sounds very similar to the Rebel Fanfare.
The drawn out section at 6:35 is very similar to the music that plays just before the Death Star blows up. A similar piece of music is also used in the opening during the shot of the Star Destroyer pursuing the Tantive IV. I think John Williams actually said that Lucas asked him to make the music sound like that when he was scoring the movie. I'm guessing that Holst's music was probably used in the rough cut of the movie as a placeholder before the score was finished.
Some say that this piece sounds similar to The Imperial March, but I've also heard that about Chopin's funeral march. I can't pinpoint any particular moments that stand out, but it's definitely possible.
2:14 that French horn gives off tatoine vibes
In addition to Star Wars, battlerock Galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy has a clear reference to it.
I think it’s pretty much just become tradition for every space-themed media to include this motif in some way.
The Ostinato sounds similar to the Imperal March
The part at 6:36 is also been ripped off in Aliens when they escape from the nuclear explosion at the end

Pay close attention to Gustav Holst's 'The Planets' and you'll hear the inspiration for John Williams' musical score for the Star Wars saga, Jerry Goldsmith's musical score for Star Trek: The Motion Picture and Alien, and James Horner's musical score for Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan and Aliens. Gustav Holst invented the musical score for the modern science fiction-space epic.
Not to mention the opening riff to Diamond Head's Am I Evil and riffs found in several songs by Black Sabbath, especially the title song.
And also Hans Zimmer's score for Gladiator
Kent Tang Yep! Hans Zimmer was also influenced by Holst. I only omitted him because Gladiator wasn't a space epic. It would be great if Zimmer did one of those, though.
Not to mention his influence on many prog bands such as King Crimson.
And, in addition to all that, the Airship theme from SMB3, and most likely all the Galaxy themes as well.

That is interesting
It's a piece.
technically, it was Geezer hearing King crimson's COVER of this, live, in 1969, that CHANGED Sabbath from a BLUES band (their first lp is ALL Cream rips, really, but great ones... OTHER than "Black Sabbath", which is the SONG that created the BAND. It was the light bulb moment, and they changed their name from Earth to Black Sabbath, and went DARK and sinister, ala "King crimson" (named for Satan!), and BS ditched their BLUES side mostly. KC is technically the founders of metal, i'd argue. (Songs like "Helter Skelter" are NOT metal. it's PUNK and noise rock, but metal isn't just distortion. It's certain kinds of grooves or feeling.)
I'm reading the book about it.
Diamond Head and Symphony X directly used part of this for Am I Evil? and Divine Wings Of Tragedy.

So I’m a robot? Who knew?
I find listening to the Holst Planet Suite tracks in a particular order changes the entire effect.
I like to imagine the suite as follows:
1. Mercury: Childhood (Playing by the creek - Fun)
2. Venus: First Love (Romantic atmosphere by moonlight)
3. Mars: Young Adulthood and going to war (Conflict - Seeing things that can never be forgotten)
4. Jupiter: Adulthood (Glorious - Building a future and family)
5. Saturn: Old-Age (Creeping up - Making tasks harder, but ending with final contentment)
6. Uranus: Memories (Telling your grandchildren about the past but with a whimsical flurry)
7. Neptune: Dying (The final moments before departing with your loved ones around you)
8. (Optional) Ode to death: Transition to the afterlife
It works like a life’s story, compressed into a single suite. Give it a try!
Fun fact: if you google sounds from space saturn you will get very interesting results
Ode to death = Pluto
@@sapphoenixthefirebird5063 I’m not sure why Pluto is referred to by some as “the renewer,” but check out the Royal Scottish National Orchestra’s recording of “Pluto: The Renewer.” It’s an astounding piece by British composer Colin Matthews that really fits the dwarf planet many of us wish was still a true planet.
I never realised that Holst never made an earth. Does anyone know why?
@@plunger9165 Earth has no significance in astrology, which is what the suite was inspired by, for one. For another, he was overwhelmed by the popularity the suite brought him.
Amazing how this sounds like it came from a modern film. Holst was truly ahead of his time. You can see Independence Day took many cues from this.
People here act as if Williams stole this music, not realizing that:
1. Lucas specifically asked for a space opera, and before Williams finished his compositions they used these songs as place holders. The editing of the film was largely built around these songs.
2. Williams has a similar sound to these songs, but to call it copying misses the point. There isn’t a single piece of music from the last 50 years that doesn’t take inspiration, and JW actually changed things around enough for them to be their own unique works.
Dude they were making a joke
I got to hear this played by a symphony. Awesome!!
It's amazing how this composer created music for each of the planets and nailing each one like he knew them personally, like he had visited them. What inspiration he had!
Technically he wrote them for the Roman gods (hence venus was happy go lucky despite the fact it's the most hostile to us) , so he probably studied mythology a lot
@@yoda2495 That's exactly it, Rachel here is thinking with the greek/roman idea of the gods that Holst used
My guess is that Earth had not been discovered when Holst composed The Planets..
Orchestra*
You’ve got it all wrong. Holst and a group of artists vacationed in Majorca, Spain, in the summer of 1913, where Holst read a book on horoscopes one of them brought. He used what he learned to create the suite. All seven movements’ names are named after the planets’ *astrological* qualities. Mars is all about action, Venus focuses on inner peace, Mercury holds court over communication, Jupiter stakes its claim of good fortune as the centerpiece of _The Planets,_ Saturn governs time and setting and staying within reasonable limits, Uranus gets its moment to shine with magic, and Neptune is associated with dreams and the unknown. Do your homework before you start posting jokes. I did mine when writing a creative piece on the planets and dwarf planets.
Good job Valve using this for the ultimate of Mars.
holtaf ikr, it fits right in
I love that he sings this after using it too.
i came here from a dota video, i had to confirm it was indeed this song, i can return to the dota video later

This gentleman composed a fine work of art.
Classical music hits different. There are so many pieces that inspired so many pop culture movies/tv shows and many people don't even realize it. I'm going through a bit of a musical awakening atm.
You've landed on the classical suite that, yes, has been used, repurposed, transformed, diced up, and then spread everywhere without anyone bluntly telling you this is 'gustav holst'.
I had the same thoughts when I discovered "Gustav Holst's; the planets" years ago.
"Why do i, sort of, know all these songs already?" "How come no one mentions these when theyre used so
liberally?"
I'm glad I got to the source eventually because I really like them despite their ubiquity.

It's not a 'song', songs have words. It's music.
Matt Male i stand corrected.
No need to be that picky. Back during my years of playing classical music, the musicians commonly referred to "songs" in everyday speech. Besides, if you can't come up with a better alternative than "music", it's like saying "that's not a Toyota, it's a car." Makes tons of sense, huh?
Maybe it's not entirely on point, but Gustav Holst also wrote something called Second Suite in F, and the second movement of that piece is named "Song Without Words."
I love how the dota2 hero Mars uses this song as his theme song, humming it and chanting it to himself, and his ultimate plays it for 5 seconds.

Who is Mars? The god of WARS
Facts
Kratos: Hold my beer.
exactly
Star wars
Ares
If I remember correctly, this is called Mars the bringer of war. Doesn't it just sound like war? I can just see column after column of armored warriors, spears gleaming in the sun or row after row of planes or Klingon warbirds. It beat star wars or star trek coming out in the 30's I think. It's amazing. The other pieces are great, too.
I think this inspired the Klingon battle anthem in Star Trek. This piece inspired a ton of stuff.
It was also written in 1916, during WWI. Of course he did't lack inspiration
Well Mars is the name of the god of war in Roman mythology
Mars was written in 1914, the year WWI broke out. So contemporary to it would have been trench warfare and the Maxim machinegun. Infantry would generally have been carrying bolt action rifles and fighting in trenches. It would be a few more years before the first use of armored mechanized vehicles (some prototypes would be fielded in the later years of WWI, but mostly experimental and far less terrifying than what would come in the 30's and 40's). Air power was mostly hot air balloons and blimps, only a few very primitive fighting aircraft (mostly fabric skinned bi- and triplanes) would fly, and also without much impact yet in the grander scheme of things. The really shocking part to me is that despite the bleak, almost apocalytpic feel of song's end, it would be another 20 years before any real scientific steps were taken to develop the atom bomb, and yet another decade before one would be successfully tested. And it's with that, that I'm just awe-stricken by the Holst's genius. It fits as well to a conceptualization of two men hacking at each other with fists and blades to the last dying breath as it does to the blitzkrieg of mechanized warfare and to the immolation of the entire planet in the unholy flames of nuclear chain reaction.

Our music theory TA showed this to us as an example of 5/4 time signature. Some good stuff right here!
My favourite 5/4 signature has to be Dave Brubecks take five
@@durra4203 Yesssssss that one's a banger!
Does the 5/4 make it seem inherently unsettling?
@@adamdesanti6713 Not necessarily unsettling; it's more that it makes the music sound inherently driven. Time signatures with more than 4 beats per measure are usually compound, meaning that each measure has a consistent rhythmic subdivision. In this piece, for example, the 5/4 rhythm is subdivided into a group of three followed by a group of two, which creates a secondary emphasis on the fourth beat (ONE-two-three-FOUR-five). When the number of beats per measure is odd, the subdivisions are necessarily of different sizes. Our brains tends to interpret the smaller subdivisions as "flowing into" the larger ones, which has implications for the rhythmic identity of the piece. Again using this piece as an example, the fourth and fifth beats of each measure are felt as a pickup to the first beat of the next measure, which imparts a strong sense of forward momentum and contributes to its militaristic feel.

+Anthony G (IPhoneFTW) There's more a similarity with the opening of Gladiator.
+Anthony G (IPhoneFTW) It was, along with Richard Wagner's musical style, the inspiration for the ORIGINAL Star Wars movie score.
+WilfredIvanhoe and Stravinsky. There are parts of rite of spring right in new hope. Especially when the droids are wandering on tatooine in the beginning
Actually, the composer of the Gladiator music got sued because of the strong similarities. (web.archive.org/web/20071230030535/www.musicfromthemovies.com/article.asp?ID=695)
Henchman 21 & 24 brought me here.
finaly some one
I've been searching and finally have be reunited with it!
Same
Yep
MOM CALL THE DOG
Pensar que esto fue hecho a principios del siglo XX y fue la fuente de inspiración de grandes compositores de películas y hasta de videojuegos.
Es como oír muchos sountracks juntos en una sola pieza, muy adelantado para su tiempo.
this song is so much fun to play on the trumpet
Better on clarinet :)
+Noelani Sinclair well maybe it wasnt't as fun, but you have to admit that the trumpet's part was much more prominent and all in all...better haha
+Edgardo A. Pagaza that french horn dough
ikr we played it last year and I think we made the audience shit them selves in fear
+Edgardo A. Pagaza I'm a pianist, but playing the French Horn part would be AWESOME!
6:30 the most malevolent piece of music ever created.... like being stabbed with a two-handed sword.
Or your own sword, by thanos
it's actually quoting Mahler's 2nd symphony
Reminds me of Star Wars :D
The creator of the Star Wars soundtrack was inspired by this :D
I know ;p But I was too lazy to write it so I just wrote that *lazyness Galore*

atzurblau "Inspired"
Yes all of star wars soundtracks were off of older classics such as this
The sweeping and rousing score. Simply perfect.
So, basically, John Williams just did a remix?
Yep,
@@wyattwilliams2457 well, still one of my fav soundtracks...
He makes it no secret how big of an inspiration Holst was on his work. You ever heard Battleship Destroyed?
It's not unusual for composers to be asked to write an imitation of the style/sound of an already existing piece of music for certain scenes. We had to do the same when doing a film score in a composition class. However, classical composers have been doing this sort of thing before film ever existed in the forms of fantasias, transformations, variations, etc.
John Williams has come out and stated that Gustav Holst was one of his favorites. He based much of his pieces off the Planet Suite as a whole. Some of the fun pieces to point out would be this one and Jupiter. Fun to listen to and play.
Never ever never get enough of this mind blowing composer and Mars is the best.
The best finale to any piece of music that i know of
The ending of this song just brings it all in. So much wrath and power in the delivery.
