John Williams

Conducting the theme from ‘Star Wars’

 

Fill in the blanks after watching the video.

 

In the music for the movie ‘Star Wars’, the (12)brass and the (13)percussion instruments make the music sound energetic and adventurous.

The (14)string and the (15)woodwind instruments play many roles.

Sometimes they create a rhythmic (16)drive to make the music move forwards.

At other times, they play gentle melodies to make the music sound (17)mysterious or a bit (18)creepy.
The conductor guides the orchestra. He tells the musicians what to do using his (19)hands and (20)facial expressions.
