March, Mars and Music Monday
March is here. It is the third month of the year, which means that 2012 is a quarter of the way over. (YIPES. I have to step up my working pace...!) March is the third month in both the Julian and Gregorian calendars, and derives its name from Mars. But not actually this Mars:
It was named for Mars, the Roman god of war.*
But I was never much interested in Roman and Greek mythology, so it may as well be the planet Mars. Planet Mars brings to mind a piece we played in band these 15 years ago.** For your Music Monday entertainment, I give you the "Mars" movement from The Planets by Gustav Holst. Turn up the volume and enjoy!
