So today after dinner, DadaSmu decided to share some John Williams music with the boys. He played them Harry Potter, Jurassic Park, Star Wars, Super Man and Jaws. They listened closely to the music and we talked about what it sounds like. Here are some of their obsevations:
Harry Potter is magical. It sounds twinkly like the stars on Dumbledore's cloak. It also sonds exciting, like you just know the film is going to be brilliant.
Star Wars is a march, just like the storm troopers marching.
Jaws was interesting. They had never heard the music before but they knew it was "something bad" and they knew it was coming closer because the music got louder and faster. When we told them it was about sharks, the fear set in. George 2nd was nervous, George 3rd cried and became very frightened!
We decided that John Williams was a superb composer who managed to create an atmosphere even without the visual aid of the movie itself.
