Year 5 Music - Journey into Space

This term, Year 5 has been exploring how composers have used space and the solar system as an inspiration to compose music. One composer, Gustav Holst, was an English composer who wrote an orchestral work of music called "The Planet Suite".

Each movement was named after a planet and the Roman God it represented. Year 5 has been exploring the music of Gustav Holst and created their own class "Planet Suites" including a rocket launch class performance of Strauss's "Also Sprach Zarathustra".

Please enjoy Year 5 Sapphire and Year 5 Wave's class compositions above.
