ECA (Speaking) II (All): 音楽について

Hello,
 
 
How are you? Do you remember the four pieces of music I played for you in class? Let's listen to them again to help you with writing more about them! I also have information links about these artists you can click on. 

Would these video images, and reading about these musicians, change your ideas about what you wrote? 


First - below is the first piece of music you heard - Jacques Loussier and his version of J.S. Bach's "Siciliano in G Minor."



About Jacques Loussierclick here for a Wikipedia article in Japanese about him. 


Next - here is the second piece of music you heard - Ronny Jordan and his song "After Hours."
 

About Ronny Jordanclick here also for a Wikipedia article in Japanese about him. 
 After that - for the third piece of music you heard - Frank Zappa's "Little Umbrellas."
 
 

 
About Frank Zappa - click here for a Wikipedia article in Japanese about him.
 
Finally - for the last piece of music you heard - Jeff Beck's "The Final Peace."
 



About Jeff Beck - now click here for a Wikipedia article in Japanese about him.


What do you think of this music and these musicians? Does seeing the artists' pictures or some image with the music, or reading about them on Wikipedia, change your ideas of the music? 

Now write about this music as part of your homework!

Hope you enjoyed listening to them again.


See you next time!
