6     This is his favourite piece for the time being.

7     These are two pieces of music he is also keen on.

8     He hasn’t listened to them yet.

9     This is still his favourite sound. It makes him feel peaceful.

Page 56 Exercise 4b

1     to make us remember important moments in the past, e.g. when we met someone for the first time

2     to help us to change activities, e.g. we play a certain kind of music to prepare us to go out in the evening (another kind to relax us when we get home from work)

3     to intensify the emotion that we are feeling, e.g. if we are sad, we play sad music to make us even sadder (if we are feeling angry, we play angry music to make us angrier; we play romantic music to make a romantic dinner more romantic)

Page 56 Exercise 4c

Three important human emotions

2     sadness

3     anger

How we feel affects the way we speak, e.g.

2     sad – speak more slowly / lower

3     angry – raise voice / shout

Music copies this, e.g.

2     slow music with falling pitches makes us feel sad

3     loud music with irregular rhythms makes us feel angry

Examples (pieces of music)

Music that makes us feel

1         happy, e.g. Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony

2         angry, e.g. Mars from The Planets by Holst

3         sad, e.g. Albinoni’s Adagio for strings.

This is especially exploited in…film soundtracks, e.g. the shower scene in Psycho (nothing is happening, but the music makes it terrifying).

Speaker 1: He is a Spanish man living in the UK. He has problems getting to sleep and wakes up when he is asleep because his bedroom isn’t dark enough. He prefers to sleep in complete darkness with closed blinds (which he always used to do in Spain), but his English wife doesn’t. Their room has thin curtains, which don’t keep out all the light. His wife would feel claustrophobic with thicker curtains.

Speaker 2: He is a police officer and has to work shifts (one week nights, the next week days). When he works at night he feels tired, but then he can’t get to sleep when he gets home because it’s too noisy and everybody else is getting up. Just when his body gets used to working nights, it’s time to change to working during the day.
