Charles Mingus’ Autobiography -- “Beneath the Underdog
[ send me this paper ]
His
World As Composed by Mingus: This 5 page report discusses the
autobiography of jazz musician Charles Mingus. Mingus takes many
unexpected turns and strange detours in telling his life story,
just as he did in “telling” his musical interpretations. His
telling bends and molds facts to his own purposes as if they too
were musical notes. The book makes the reader feel like a
voyeur peering into a great mind that had the capacity to blend
impulsiveness, fantasy, fact, and craziness into one package in
almost equal amounts. The end result blurs the lines of what is
real or not but the book makes it clear that for Mingus, at the
moment of his telling it, it was real enough. No secondary
sources.

Charlie Parker’s “Lady Be Good” Compared with Miles Davis’
“Boplicity”
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses Charlie “Yardbird”
Parker and Miles Davis who were (and still are), inarguably, two
of the greatest performers, composers, and innovators that the
American jazz world has ever experienced. Charlie Parker and his
alto saxophone are considered hallmarks of the original bebop,
even though the music he played repeatedly demonstrated that this
was a musician following his instincts and not necessarily
attempting to create or define any particular “style.” Likewise,
Miles Davis created a musical realm like nothing ever before
heard and like Bird, Miles unashamedly and unhesitatingly did it
his way. Miles Davis played an important part in the early stages
of the progressive, or “cool” jazz that dominated the jazz scene
in the early 1950s. This report compares two of their works. No
bibliography.

Chopin & Debussy
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page research paper that compares and contrasts the Romantic era with the Impressionist, but focuses primarily on contrasting Chopin with Debussy. The Romantic and Impressionist eras in music history are quite different in their repertoires. However, an examination of the music of Impressionism, and specifically, a comparison between the piano styles of Chopin and Debussy, illustrates the connections between the Romantics and the Impressionists and shows that there were features of Romanticism that the Impressionists adopted and then emphasized rather than abandoned. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Chopin, Pianist & Teacher
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page research paper that focuses on the career of Frederic Chopin (1810-1849), who was one of the romantic era’s most original composers, as his musical idiom was unlike any other (Machlis 84). Furthermore, he was the only major composer of this era whose genius was completely centered on the piano, as Chopin’s “imagination was wedded to the keyboard” and he created his “universe within that narrow frame” (Machlis 84). This examination of Chopin as a pianist and as a teacher demonstrates the extraordinary influence that his life and career had on subsequent generations of composers, but particularly within the realm of the piano. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Comparing 3 paintings & painting/music
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page essay that discusses three paintings and Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony. “The Abduction of the Sabine Women” by Nicolas Poussin (1634), “The Death of General Wolfe” by Benjamin West (1770), and “The Raft of the Medusa” by Theodore Gericault” (1818) are each representative of a specific period in art history. Comparing the three works illustrates the way in which the Romantic era reconnected with the emotionality and vibrancy of the Baroque. However, it should be noted that Neoclassical works were not without emotion, as Beethoven’s striking Fifth Symphony exemplifies, rather it indicates that comparison between the periods illustrates that in the Neoclassical era, emotion was controlled within the confines of rationality. A bibliography is not offered.
