Power Of the Void

PART I
ISKL MISSION STATEMENT

The International School of Kuala Lumpur (silence) provides an exceptional education (silence) that challenges each student to develop the attitudes, skills, knowledge and understanding to become (silence) a highly successful, spirited, socially responsible global citizen.

I put word 'silence' to make void in school mission statement. Creating void makes people feel tensed and ask questions about it. In the statement, the tension is made by making eople asking questions. I feel that adding silence after 'The International School of Kuala Lumpur' creates best tension because it makes the listeners to ask questions like what is the mission statement?, what is the next sentence?. I also feel that adding silence after 'exceptional education' creates best tension because it also makes questions like what is the education in ISKL?. Additionally, I think that putting 'silence' after 'understanding to become' best describe tension because people will ask questions like what the students will become when they develop the attitudes, skills, knowledge and understanding? So, creating void will make people ask questions and by asking questions, it will be helpful to understand about something like the school mission statement.

PART II

There are lots of ways that composers can create tension in the music. For example, composers can create tension by creating silence after the big crescendo. Then the audience or the listeners will ask questions like what is going to happen next?, what is going on?, when is this going to start? Audience will want to hear more and feel tensed because it stopped and there is total silence. Composers can release the tension by playing the music and when the composers release it, the audience will feel calm and relieved.
