Frank Sinatra / The Man, The Celebrity
[ send me this paper ]

Frank Zappa�s �Lumpy Gravy� -- An Example of the Collage
Aesthetic
[ send me this paper ]
This 7 page report discusses musical composer and
rock musician Frank Zappa (1940-1993). Far too often, Zappa�s
work has been relegated to an example of the obscure creative
energy exemplified in the 1960s. And yet the reality is that
Zappa�s work was far more closely aligned to the established
traditions of the avant garde in Europe. This report pays
particular attention to his first orchestral piece, �Lumpy Gravy�
(1968) which was the first project to be released under his name
and not the �Mothers� band name. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Gender Issues in Opera/Bartok & Bluebeard
[ send me this paper ]
A 15 page research paper that examines the issues of gender in opera and specifically in regards to Bela Bartok's work Bluebeard's Castle. Bartok wrote but one opera, Duke Bluebeard's Castle, a short work based upon a grisly fairy tale. Psychologically and symbolically complex, the opera's narrative not only represents Bartok's conceptualization of gender, but also reflects the operatic heritage that preceded him. Examination of the concepts of gender that form the characterization of both Duke Bluebeard and his young bride Judith, shows that, in both cases, they reflect societal stereotypes and operatic tradition. However, close examination of these gendered conceptions also hints at a developing sensibilities and criticism of these paradigms. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page research paper that refers briefly to Handel's life, but concentrates on discussing one of Handel's operas Giulio Cesare and his oratorio Messiah as example works that demonstrate the mastery that was characteristic of Handel's music. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
