Composers choose and organise sounds to communicate ideas and moods.

This music by Carl Orff is famous for being very exciting.
How does the composer use DYNAMICS (loud and quiet sounds) to achieve this excitement?

How do you feel as a member of the audience?

Can you achieve a similar result in your own composing?

This piece is by Gustav Holst and describes the planet ‘Mars’ as a God of War.
The DYNAMICS are very extreme here, ranging from very quiet to very loud.
