Abstract

Sound tracks serve a valuable purpose in film and video by helping tell a story, create a mood, and signal coming events. Holst’s “Mars” from The Planets yields a coincidental soundtrack to Eric Rohmann’s Caldecott-winning book, Time Flies. This pairing provides opportunities for upper elementary and middle-school general music students to study specific music elements, while exploring the role of the music editor in syncing sound to image.
