* The ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' airship theme is built entirely around a militaristic staccato beat. While the orchestrated version from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy'' makes the homage to "Mars" very explicit through its use of drums, horns, and strings, it's impressive how the original chiptune introduced in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3'' still manages to convey that warlike tone.

* Surprisingly, done for ''Series/SesameStreet'''s Season 29 arc, "Slimey To The Moon". Of course, this is not for a pre- or during-fighting scene (given the nature of the show), but rather, to build up the excitement and tension for the launch of the rocket carrying Slimey and the rest of the crew, and then a triumphant continuation as the rocket speeds through space.

The Bloodpool/Kasandora theme also has "Bringer of War" vibes.

** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8ndheIKNyA music]] playing during Londo's recounting of the Earth-Minbari War in "[[Recap/BabylonFiveFilm01InTheBeginning In the Beginning]]" has a slow Holst-inspired rhythm under the main melody. It's tapped out on a drum rather than pounded or blasted out as the focus here is more on the tragedy of the war.

Flip order ...rhythm creates mood


A series of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0bcRCCg01I#t=4m24s rapid-fire staccato notes followed by more spaced notes that are blasted out]], usually by the low brass section. The result is a stirring martial mood with a driving rhythm. This is the signature sound of "[[TropeNamer Mars, Bringer of War]]" from Music/GustavHolst's "The Planets". It is also one that film composers have drawn on for inspiration for when they need something that sounds warlike.
