Choir-Power of the Void

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

The silence after develop is a good place to put there because it gives the idea where you don't know what things the student develops. The void says that there might be many things that students at ISKL challenge every day and do that very well. I think that the silence could also grab a listeners attention because I think this sentence is the most important, the listener might think, "Why did he (she) stop talking?". Lastly, the speaker might need to breathe and the words would flow more well and have more meaning if the speaker did not do a silence after each challenge.

Part 2:
One way a composer could create tension and then leave an answer is by being quiet and slowly getting louder. The listener could not be that sure it is getting louder until almost the last minute. At the ending it should be very loud, that way the listener would know the music or singing was getting louder and have an answer.
