The Star Soft intro: Mars, the Bringer of War

Every Star Soft game opens with a few seconds of Mars, the Bringer of War, from The Planets by Gustav Holst. Here is the music in full, in two versions.

The orchestral recording is the whole piece, about seven minutes, played by a full orchestra of sampled instruments, note for note from Holst's score. The Amiga version is a new arrangement of the opening, up to its first great climax, in the style of the great Amiga game soundtracks, with a drum kit that plays the Mars rhythm, synth bass, strings, choir, brass and a singing synth lead.

About the music

• The music: Mars, the Bringer of War by Gustav Holst (1874–1934), written in 1914–16. It is out of copyright.
• The arrangements: by Star Soft. The orchestral recording plays every part of Holst's full score, read from the OpenScore edition of The Planets, which OpenScore's volunteers have given to everyone to use freely (CC0). The Amiga version takes the opening, up to the first climax, then a closing chord: it keeps Holst's notes and gives them to a game soundtrack's band.
• The instruments: the orchestral recording uses recordings from the VSCO 2 Community Edition by Versilian Studios, given to everyone to use freely (CC0). The Amiga version's instruments are made by the Star Soft engine itself, as sampled instruments in the Amiga style, the same ones the games use.
• What you may do with it: like the code, the arrangement is shared under the Star Soft Non-Commercial Licence: listen to it and share it, for free, but don't sell it or use it to make money, and credit it as Mars by Gustav Holst, arranged by Star Soft. Holst's music itself is out of copyright, and the orchestral instrument recordings are free for anyone to use.
