 The most famous music related to Mars was composed by Gustav Holst in 1914 as the first part of his orchestral work - The Planets. The first of these movements was “The Bringer of War.” The name we now know it by   — “Mars - The Bringer of War” —  was given to the piece at its first public performance in 1918.  According to Prof. Robert Greenberg, “Each movement in The Planets represents the embodiment of the titled astrological character and then proceeds as an abstract musical composition.” He interprets the movement as about the destructive nature of Mars (the astrological Mars), himself, and the militant music as a metaphor for humanity’s darkest side.[Ref: ''The 30 Greatest Orchestral Works'', Prof. Robert Greenberg, Copyright 2011 by The Teaching Company.]

 A national anthem like Le Marseillaise can be taken as an expression of the members of that nation. While we Earthlings should not be expected to write an anthem for future humans in Mars settlements, an anthem for Mars written today can represent those individuals and groups who are supporting the exploration and settlement of Mars by humans.
-In 2000 and again in 2004 The Mars Society held a Mars song contest with the winner receiving the “Roget de Lisle” Award. The Award was named for the composer of “Le Marseillaise” - now the national anthem of France. History has it the on first hearing “The Marseillaise” sung in the streets of revolutionary Paris in 1792, a young Napoleon Bonaparte is said to have exclaimed to the song’s author, “Monsieur, your song is worth a hundred regiments!” Dr. Robert Zubrin noted that “Throughout history, great causes have often found expression — and a significant part of their power — in music. The concept of the Rouget de LisleAward was to be encourage the writing of a song that could serve as an anthem for the new branch of human civilization that would be created on Mars.

 In 2000 the winner of the Roget de Lisle contest was “The Pioneers of Mars” Written by Lloyd Landa and Karen Linsley and performed by Karen Linsley at the Third International Mars Society Convention in Toronto in August 2000. Zubrin described the event as follows: “Ten days before the song’s public debut, Lloyd was taken by a heart attack, leaving Karen bereft not only of her musical partner, but of her life’s companion as well.Nevertheless, Karen (who lives in Toronto) came down to the convention to perform, knowing it was what Lloyd would have wanted. Standing with tears in her eyes in front of a banquet hall filled with 500 people, Karen sang her heart out. The song told of the invincible capacity for hope within the human spirit — the hope that will allow pioneers in the future to make a new home for humanity on Mars. I have never been so moved.”
