Score Only. Composed by Brian Balmages. Concert Band. FJH Starter Series. Masterwork Arrangement. Score. Duration 2:15. The FJH Music Company Inc #98-B1695S. Published by The FJH Music Company Inc (FJ.B1695S). English.
Inspired by The Planets by Gustav Holst, this original piece pays homage to the first movement, Mars. Using only six notes in all instruments, the music still has a powerful quality that dares the listener to embrace the bold, majestic melodies and rhythmic ostinato. A unique original that invites further study of a master composer!
