The Red Planet | Brass Band | Cardiff UniBrass Winner 2014

Description

Full of anger and angst, The Red Planet portrays the closest neighbour to Earth as a vicious, warlike planet.  Drawing on the vastness of space to create a never ending atmosphere, this march should be played with ferocity and purpose, as if Mars itself was compelling you to declare war on the universe.

Winner of the Cardiff UniBrass Composition Competition in 2014, The Red Planet is a march for full band at a 1st section difficulty. The piece can be underscored by the first track from NASA’s Symphonies of the Planets and features corrugaphones and thundersheets in the percussion section.
