Year 12 Homework: Monday 17th Oct 2011

By -
Hello,

Your homework for this week and over half term is to:

1. Finish the definitions sheet!
2. Provide 'A Potted History of The Beatles'. I would suggest three parts:

- A timeline of their albums
- Information about the music on each album (the main part)
- Information about The Beatles (more general), mapped to the timeline of albums.

I do not mind how it is presented, but as you have the half term break to do this I expect something detailed and fairly substantial. Focus on the music.

Any problems come and see me.

Due Monday 31st Oct (first Monday back)

Thanks,

Mr. Guinane

Your second task - answer this essay question: To what extent could ‘Yellow Bird’ be described as a piece of folk music? Make reference to instruments and their handling, melody, harmony, rhythm and metre, texture and tonality. (13) Please ask if you have any questions, and remember Thurs after school and Fri lesson 6 are good times to catch me (let me know if you are coming). Mr Guinane
