Program Notes
I. Mars the Bringer of War
The Planets suite begins with a ruthless march depicting war. The terrifying battle is announced in the brass instruments and an incessant rhythmic ostinato continues throughout the movement. This leaves a desolate landscape as the destruction of war weighs heavily. After the bleak slow section, the fanfares resume, culminating in brutal hammer strikes. It was Holst's intention to capture not only the cruelty of war, but also its stupidity.
