Pete Hillier has the final session in this unit exploring many different aspects of the sea.
3. Storm!
In this final session of The sea unit the children dance again to several pieces of music from the 大象传媒鈥檚 Ten Pieces.They warm up by doing their busy jobs aboard the ship (Horn concerto No 4); they listen to and respond to the slower, calmer music (Zadok the Priest); then they travel around as ships moving through the water; then they travel through the space to the faster music, like ships moving through the rough sea (Short Ride in a Fast Machine); as the storm grows they move around the space as the clouds and wind (Mars from The Planets); they tap their fingers on the floor as the rain (Connect It); they move around as the beam of the lighthouse guiding the ships (Symphony No 5); finally they work with a group to show the sailing ship returning home after the storm (Zadok the Priest).
