As ever, it has been a pleasure to mark this year's Arts Award portfolios. I came across Caius Datt leading a group of Year 8 boys singing, with which I was really impressed. Well done to you all.
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 .
"A church or school without a choir is like a body without a soul." John Rutter delivers a very important statement about music in our lives. I truly feel passionate about every word he says. Please watch, it is so important.
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!
