CLASSICAL MUSIC HELP!!!!! I’M DESPERATE!!!?
October 312009
I’m a college student, majoring in elementary education. I’m currently working on a lesson plan incorporating music into basic content area. The lesson I created is a science lesson in which first graders listen to a classical music piece and decide which weather pattern the piece can be associated with. I NEED MUSIC!
I need a classical piece that can represent sunny weather, I was thinking of Boccherini string quartet in E minor for that one
A piece that represents hurricanes/tornadoes/harsh weather…..??? ANY SUGGESTIONS?
A piece that represents rain, something calm and slow….??? ANY SUGGESTIONS????
and something that represents an overcast day… maybe a little sun, maybe a little rain…. ANY SUGGESTIONS???
This lesson plan is due tomorrow so I need to find the songs ASAP
ANY SUGGESTIONS ARE GREATLY APPRECIATEDDDD
ahhh vivaldi= genius can’t believe i didn’t think of it THANK YOU!!!
Will enumerate your requests(not listing #-1, for "sunny" - the Vivaldi should be fine.

In my University Symphony, I’m playing Sibelius’s Symphony No. 3. Perhaps the 2nd movement for rain? It really has gorgeous melodies. Another one that I’m playing is Rachmaninov’s Variations on a Theme of Paganini. It’s long but you could edit it. It might work well for harsh weather, lots of syncopation etc.

For inclement weather:
Night on Bald Mountain
Hebrides (Fingal’s Cave) Overture, Mendelsohhn
For a great variety of moods, try Liszt, Les Preludes….

Chopin’s "Raindrops" would do well for rain (:

For hurricanes/tornadoes/harsh weather, of course you want the storm movement (fourth movement) of Beethoven’s "Pastoral" Symphony (Symphony #6).
