    EXPERIMENTAL CLASSICAL . The mysterious and unfathomable landmark found on the surface of Mars. Impeccably described by Pierce[69] with a soaring melody that takes you on a fly-over of a landscape filled with mystery and awe. The music leaves you wondering yourself about the possible existence of an ancient life on Mars.

    Story Behind the Song
    "On July 25, 1976, the Viking Orbiter acquired images in the northern latitudes of Mars to find a suitable landing site for the Viking Lander II. JPL received an image from the Cydonia region with a formation that resembled a human face."

    "Some of theories to explain such images have supposed that the formation was built by an intelligent civilization on Mars, perhaps as a monument to a Martian deity."

    "However, on April 5, 1998, Mars Global Surveyor acquired images of the "face on Mars", and the human face became just another geographical feature on Mars."

    Thus, there is no prove of some kind of lost marsian civilization.

    Nevertheless, I have written this "little green men" requiem as a tribute to human dreams.
