@classicnorthwest Yes, I meant the TV theme was an homage. And the more I think about it, the more I think it was intentional. Not only because of the obvious Mars/War of the Worlds connection, but also because the theme from the series long sounded fitting for a show that was (in its first season) about warfare. If they adapted elements from the Holst piece to utilise as a militaristic motif in the series, then it seems all the more appropriate.

@multitudeofidols If you meant the TV music was an homage to this work, then disregard my earlier comment, and you may very well be correct.

@multitudeofidols This is a famous "classical" piece, and I would't be surprised to find out it influenced music for a TV series. The music, however, is not an homage to any TV theme, as it was written between 1914 and 1916, by Gustav Holst.
Are you sure its Vienna? Sounds like Montreal and Dutoit to me.

@theothercanadian - Wow, i can't believe i did that . . . recently updated the description and grabbed the info from a different copy in iTunes (not nearly as good of a performance). You are correct, sir! Thanks for pointing it out.
