About this piece:
The epic 5/4 rhythmic drive of Holst's Mars is always a thrill for audiences! This arrangement is for brass quintet with an optional percussion part (written for drum set). This is condensed to 3 minutes, fitting in everything an audience really wants to hear from a brass quintet. Nothing is unnecessarily difficult to play just for the sake of getting the whole original score on the page, and there are even helpful cues during the trickiest rhythmic passages. This is great for education shows!
