Prepare for battle! Mars, the Roman god of war, is one of the most significant characters in Roman mythology. Not only is he a warrior, but he is the father of the Roman people. The many statues found in Italy show him as a noble, strong and majestic man with a spear and helmet. In this piece these characteristics are set to music with beating war drums, strong themes and powerful unison parts.
