Year 13: Homework et al. 28th Jan 2014

Year 13,

Three things:

1. Attached is our 'thread' that might help you structure an essay on the Wagner. Add it to your notes.

2. Your first task for homework - fill in the grids for each of the Schumann miniatures.

3. 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

Obligatory antics ensue, and we go all in on a creatively animated scalp massage. Rabbit Of Seville from Wet The Face on Vimeo .

Enjoy!
