Pablo Picasso once said "good artists copy, great artists steal." Even the great John Williams had his heroes, from which he borrowed freely. Enjoy this performance of Gustav Holsts movement "Mars the Bringer of War" from his orchestral suite "The Planets, Op. 32". As you listen to the sinister martial rhythms at the beginning of the piece, imagine if you will, the evil empire forces from Star Wars. John Williams did.
