  1. Watch--and take notes as you do--Lecture 9: Popular Music and Modernism in the 1960s and 70s (21:43)

  2. Here are some questions to keep in mind as you watch the video:
    • What kind of film or section in a film would be an appropriate place for an adapted score of popular songs?
    • What is the difference in an adapted score of popular songs and a composed score in a popular style?
    • What are some distinctive characteristics and techniques of modernist scores of the 1960s and 70s?
    • What kinds of films were apt to choose modernist scores during this period?

  3. Go to Sakai->Forums->9 Response to video lecture 9 and write a paragraph response. You can respond to any of the above prompts or simply write your own unprompted critical thoughts on this topic. You may also read (and respond to) posts from others in the class, but your ideas should be your own. The paragraph should cite the video where appropriate and consist of at least 200 words.
