MARS, (The Bringer of WAR) = HOLST
Mars is marked allegro and is in a relentless for most of its duration.
Although Mars is often thought to portray the horrors of mechanised warfare, it was completed before the First World War started.
The composer Colin Matthews writes that for Holst, Mars would have been "an experiment in rhythm and clashing keys", and its violence in performance "may have surprised him as much as it galvanised its first audiences".
- Although battle music had been written before, - notably by Richard Strauss in Ein Heldenleben, "it had never expressed such violence and sheer terror

A little piece for opera lovers or future opera lovers.
"Chi il bel sogno di Doretta potè indovinar?" (Who can guess Doretta's beautiful dream?) from Giacomo Puccini's "La Rondine" (The Swallow).
This is the lyrics with an English translation:
Giacomo Puccini - Chi il bel sogno di Doretta (English translation #3)
The Metropolitan Opera has a synopsis of the whole opera.
La Rondine
Unfortunately this little piece has no subtitles, but they are in the complete version of the Washington Opera House with the tenor Ainhoa Arteta as Magda. It begins at 6:08.
