YEAR 5 & 6 PERFORMANCE PIECE
MARS PUTS FEAR IN YOUR HEART!
Hilary Miles
Just before the outbreak of World War 1
Holst studies planets
That rotated round the sun.
He composed a suite of pieces
For each planet in turn
Mars to Jupiter, Neptune to Saturn.
The Romans used the names of Gods
To identify each one
But Holst preferred astrology,
Wrote horoscopes for fun!
So all the seven planets
Have a different atmosphere
Venus, love and beauty
And Mars who creates fear!
Mars the bringer of war,
Mars the bringer of war.
Spoken parts:
Violins start the rhythm off
Timpani boom like mortar shells
Military sounds come from the brass
This is the war to end all wars!
