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.
