Emotions in Music: How can music make us feel?



Hello everyone! Please translate this page to the language that you need. (Usually by right-clicking and select translate). And then grab a paper and pen.


Write down all the emotion/feelings words you can think of. For example, Happy or Happiness. Then imagine a type of music that might make you feel each of those feelings.


One of the amazing things about music is that it can express feelings. It can sound how you feel. Or- listening to certain music can make you feel a certain way. Composers who write music often try to create the sound of a certain feeling.


You will be watching two videos about emotions, or feelings, in music. In each video, you will hear four pieces that demonstrate how music communicates feeling. In the first video, you will hear four pieces and think about what feeling each piece communicates. In the second video, they will learn how composers get music to sound that way. The pieces are:

Bernard Hermann: Psycho: A Suite for Strings

Claude Debussy: Clair de Lune

Frederic Chopin: Piano Sonata No. 2, Op. 35. III. Marche Funebre

Gustav Holst: The Planets- IV. Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity

We will watch the second video tomorrow.
