It seems to turn up a lot in trailers for action movies, as does "O fortuna" from Orff's Carmina Burana. I heard once that the music scoring is one of the last things that gets edited into a movie, so when the trailers come out there may not be any music written; also, since the trailer is a MASH-up of bits from all over the movie, they couldn't use the actual score from all those different parts or the music would have no continuity. So they just substitute Holst's Mars or some other piece of exciting music instead.
Gustav Holst wrote "The Planets", his Opus 32, a seven-movementorchestral suite, between 1914 and 1916.
I can tell you for a fact that it's in B Flat Major
The planet suite has seven movements: Mars, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
The first world war happened shortly after he worte the piece but I want to know what happened whilst he was writing it(the years before the war).
The planet's suite is such a popular choice of film music as each one creates a different sense of atmosphere and throughout each piece of music you get drawn in and it's so powerful like the crescendo in mars it's almost frightening!

The music comes from the end of Mars, Bringer of War form the Planets Orchestral Suite composed by Gustav Holst.

Harsh, and scary - As mars in the God of war the instrumental gives a threatening effect
The planet suite has seven movements: Mars, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
You may be thinking of Gustav Holst (if the individual pieces have names like "Mars, the Bringer of War" and "Neptune, the Mystic", then that's it).
The first world war happened shortly after he worte the piece but I want to know what happened whilst he was writing it(the years before the war).
John Williams composed the Imperial March. The theme is based on 'Mars, the Bringer of War' by Gustav Holst and the funeral march from Chopin's Piano Sonata No. 2 in B minor.
Jupiter has not got life however mars does.
1914-1916's
Just another name for Aries, the Greek god of war. The Romans renamed him Mars. And they named a planet after him ... the same one the Greeks called Aries. It is also a composition by British composer Gustav Holst (1874-1934) best known for his suite of works called the Planets. One of the most popular works from that suite is "Mars the bringer of war".
