RMS General Music FILM FESTIVAL featuring the music of Samuel Barber

Seventh grade General Music students have developed films inspired by Samuel Barber’s
 Adagio for Strings. The films were created by the third and seventh period classes using the “arch form”
 of Barber’s Adagio for Strings as their dramatic template.



Students were instructed to create stories that develop tension throughout the ascension of the arch 
form (a long crescendo), reach their dramatic peaks when the music climaxes, then resolve the stories 
as the music winds down. The results were very creative and quite impressive!



WATCH BOTH FILM BELOW, then VOTE for your favorite by clicking on the VOTE NOW! link at the bottom of the page. The winning film will be announced on Friday, April 9th.
