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, 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.
