Year 12 Homework - Thu 13/01/11 (Mr. Guinane)

By -


Homework this week, a piece of work based around the context of 'You Can Get it if You Really Want'. We are looking at 1960s Jamaica - rock steady. I would like to see:

The origins of the style
Classic features of the style
Examples of this style in the set work
How this style differs from reggae and ska

As discussed, something of around a page that fully addresses these points will be fine.

You have two weeks, so no excuses.

Keep listening, see you in a fortnight.

Mr. Guinane

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!
