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!
