Miss Doan's Swingle Singers highlights...

By -
In preparation for Vocal Ensemble's exciting trip to Cadogan Hall next Thursday, I thought I would create a Spotify playlist with some of my favourite Swingle Singers arrangements. This is by no means exhaustive as not everything is available on Spotify. However, I have included a variety of arrangements (old and new), including our beloved Blackbird/I Will, as well as alternatively arrangements of pieces you have already performed, eg. Danny Boy and In the Bleak Midwinter.
A2 students will see that So What (Miles Davis) appears on this list, and members of the orchestra will recognise the Bach Fugue in G minor (BWV 542) and hopefully enjoy A Fifth of Beethoven and the William Tell Overture. Finally for those of you who can remember back to Dido and Aeneas in 2008, Dido's Lament is also here.
Click here to open my playlist in Spotify. Enjoy!

The Rabbit of Seville

This 1950 cartoon by Looney Tunes is Bugs Bunny at his operatic finest.  Bugs escapes the obsessed Elmer Fudd and they find themselves in a production of  Il Barbiere di Siviglia  at (presumably) the Hollywood Bowl. Obligatory antics ensue, and we go all in on a creatively animated scalp massage. Rabbit Of Seville from Wet The Face on Vimeo .

After a rather dramatic week of Stravinsky, we turn to a more light-hearted theme of the week of songs from Disney Films. There is a Disney film/song close to everyone's heart so if it's not in the playlist below, please feel free to request your favourite.  Some of you have a very busy week ahead, so returning to the department and hearing Disney might just keep you going! Enjoy!
