Music

• Sleeping spell (Music): In Act II, Scene I of  The Tempest,  Ariel sends Gonzalo, Alonso, Adrian and Francisco into an enchanted sleep, leaving Sebastian and Antonio awake to plot the murder of Alonso, who is King of Naples.  This scene provides an excellent opportunity for musical composition.

Compose a short piece of music to represent the ‘solemn music’ played by Ariel, which sends the noblemen to sleep.  When composing your music think about:

1. How to mimic the rising and falling sounds of sleeping breath (perhaps with rising and falling scales, or with crescendo and diminuendo).
2. How to control the tempo of the music to create a solemn atmosphere.
3. How to use dynamics to contrast the noisy chatter of the noblemen with the peacefulness of their sleep.

You could use garage band which is free to download on an Ipad or 2 sequence on Purple Mash.
