science music

My students and I were listening to The Planets by Gustav Holst while we were studying science vocab.  (Get it?  Science-themed music.)  The first one is "Mars - The Bringer of War."  The students confirmed, "Ya, that really does sound like war."

When the seven-minute piece ended, we went on to "Venus - The Bringer of Peace."  They were disappointed that we didn't have time for "Saturn - The Bringer of Old Age."  Ah well, another day.

Long live classical music!
