Term 5 Sing Up Music – Year 6: Race!
Pieces: Main theme from Chariots of Fire (Vangelis)
About the unit: Film composing is an art form all of its own, different and distinct from other forms of composition. Composers use moving images (and often story) to inspire, shape and structure their ideas. In this unit we will use clips from the 1981 film Chariots of Fire as a basis for creating an accompaniment and extended melody and exploring harmony to create a new soundtrack for the moving images.
Musical focus: Create music to accompany a short film about a race, composing an extended melody and accompaniment.
Musical learning:
- Create an accompaniment.
- Create an extended melody with four distinct phrases.
- Experiment with harmony.
- Structure ideas into a full soundtrack.
