Music Is Out of This World

A Journey Through our Solar System with Gustav Holst and other composers who love writing for outer space.

For October we begin our journey through Holst’s

The Planets for Orchestra.

We start with Mars: The Bringer of War. Listen to the mood of this movement. This movement has how many bests per bar? “Con Legno” is the Italian term telling hte string players to play with the ______________part of the bow instead of the hair. If gives the instruments an interesting timbre, or the special color of a sound. Mars is the second smallest planet in the solar system and the fourth from the sun.
