Ornamentation Of Italian Vocal Music Of The Eighteenth Century According To Pietro Francesco Tosi And Giovanni Battista Mancini, Beverly Ann Brandon

Theses and Dissertations

The acclaim and recognition attributed to the musical performers of the eighteenth century are reflected in the title Bel Canto ascribed to this period. The contemporary musical scene reveals performances attempting to perpetuate the virtuosity of the performers of this period and to recapture their style. Unfortunately, the aura of legend and mystery surrounding the performance of music of this period frequently leads to confusion and frustration of both teacher and performer rather than to understanding. This study addresses itself to that problem.

Tosi and Mancini were active participants in this period and their theory, technique of performance, and pedagogical …

Balduin MöLlhausen, A Prussian's Image Of The American West, David H. Miller

History ETDs

Since its discovery, America has held tremendous attraction for Europeans. German interest was strongly awakened by the American Revolution, and strengthened during the period of Romanticism. In the nineteenth century many Germans experiencing a feeling of Europamüdigkeit found relief and diversion in the exotic world of the American Frontier and among American Indians as presented in the works of James Fenimore Cooper and others. Numerous Germans journeyed to the American West to experience the country first hand. Balduin Möllhausen belongs to the circle of nineteenth century expositors of America. He distinguished himself as an explorer, artist, diarist and novelist of …

L'Art De La Description Et Du Portrait Chez Manette Salomon Des FrèRes Goncourt., Barbara Joan Goodman

Foreign Languages & Literatures ETDs

The death of Honoré de Balzac in 1850 left a void in the production of masterpieces of the French novel. During the next decade, the lack of a dominant literary school, with precise rules, afforded to a great variety of authors a period of experimentation toward the establishment of a new direction for the novel.

The cooperative creation of Jules and Edmond de Goncourt emerged from this indecisive period. Throughout the ten years, the two brothers dabbled in various media of expression--painting, history, art criticism, drama-but their primary importance resides in their innovations in the novel. Manette Salomon, published in …

The Barren Soul : A Study Of Ellen Glasgow's Religious Revolt, Reva May Jenkins

Master's Theses

He stared in amazement. "You're writing on Ellen Glasgow, on her religious beliefs! Did she have any?"

The time, the speaker, and the words changed but never the question. This paper is my answer. It is the study of five rather different aspects of a religious philosophy. All of Miss Glasgow' s writings were examined. However, since all the fictional writings could not be properly studied in a paper of this size, examples were taken mainly from seven novels selected as representative. These include the following: the first two published novels, The Descendant and Phases of an Inferior Planet; …

James Branch Cabell : Laughing Existentialist, George R. Hazelton

Master's Theses

In the history of American literature, there have been numerous authors whose popularity and critical acclaim were long in coming often delayed long past their deaths. Melville, for example, comes immediately to mind. Others have enjoyed a brief notoriety and have then slipped into oblivion for years until their "rediscovery."

One of the prime vehicles for renewed interest in ignored American authors has been the critical consideration of American humorous literature that has flowered during the 1940's, 50's and the 60's, This criticism, given impetus by Walter Blair's Native American Humor (1937)has made Seba Smith, Edgar Wilson Nye, and Finley …

Cher Antoine : Jean Anouilh's Reflection On His Own Works, Joseph Towler Knox

Master's Theses

This examination of plays by Jean Anouilh will uphold the thesis that Anouilh's most recent play offers an over-all judgment of his own work. Furthermore, while the play itself manages to be rather successful, the conclusion to be drawn from it is that the author has failed to attain success he sought.

The Thematic Relationship Of Laurence Sterne To David Herbert Lawrence, Frederick Thornett Hardy

Master's Theses

Among the pioneer novelists of the eighteenth century, Laurence Sterne stands out as an unexplained curiosity. In many ways the most modern of the early novelists, he is regarded as the first stream-of-consciousness author, and thus the forerunner of the most significant school in today's fiction. Sterne constructed his original style from ideas derived from the seventeenth century philosopher, John Locke, in his Essay Concerning Human Understanding. A less obvious but equally defendable fact is that this philosophical work provided Sterne with a thematic as well as stylistic bridge into the twentieth century. The clearest illustration of this relationship is …

The Preparation Of A Graduate Eb Alto Saxophone Recital, Thomas G. Barber

All Master's Theses

Sculptural Furniture, Gary Galbraith

All Master's Theses

The artist should employ his sense of playful experimentation that requires the re-investigation of old manners and styles. I have attempted to apply the imagination of my senses to the furniture object in order to satisfy other human needs aside from comfort. These artistic requirements remove the piece of furniture from the realm of neutrality and tastefulness and expect the viewer - user to experience visual communication.

Stylistic Characteristics Of Randall Thompson's Choral Music, Robert Hugh Creigh

All Master's Theses

Randall Thompson's choral music, widely performed by professional groups, colleges, and choirs from public schools, establishes this composer as one of the foremost in contemporary music.
