Classical Music Description

One of your writing task this week is to write something inspired by one of the following audio tracks.







Take a look at some of your classmates' work. Can you identify which audio track their writing comes from? Can you identify any examples of descriptive language: adjectives, verbs, adverbs, similes, personification, etc?

The calm soothing beginning tells me that my team is on the right track. We are very strong and intelligent. As the music continues and the tempo goes faster I can tell that we are confused. I feel that we had made a wrong decision on the way and were thinking about what to do. We go on with the war anyway and end up losing badly. The entire team was stuck and were trying to get out. Once we get out it will be a guaranteed win because we discussed the plan. So how do we get out?

The start of the music was loud and sounded like the army marching towards the tower. When the army lined up the King and Queen came through the gate towards the castle.

There were lots of trumpets, drums and violins and made it sound dramatic like something special was going to happen.

Then the music changed and sounded low, like there was someone trying to sneak into the castle. The secret agent for the bad guys followed the King and Queen. The king turned around and started to chase the secret agent the music sped up and when the King caught him he put him in the deep dark dungeon.

After the King caught the secret agent he felt dizzy and tired and fell in a daze, the music was slow and woke up in darkness.
