Bringer of War (After Holst) by Brian Balmages
Grade 0.5
Pubisher: FJH Music Company
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.

This authentic and vibrant work brings the sound and spirit of Mariachi to the string orchestra! Complete with strumming passages, catchy syncopated figures, and energetic melodies, the piece also includes parts for an optional guitar ensemble to really add some flavor! Many principal players have solo opportunities in this passionate, colorful salute to traditional Mexican music. Unique and a ton of fun! (3:00)
