Y5 Composers Take us to Space!!11 November 2024 (by raustin) |
Children in Year Five have been learning about Gustav's Holst's orchestral suite The Planets. They discovered that an orchestral suite is a piece of music made up of shorter pieces that are played in order and explored how Holst presented the character of each planet in his composition. Inspired by some of the ostinatos created in Holst's composition for Mars, we used this to create our own compositions, thinking carefully about our choice of instruments and dynamics.
