Abstract
This paper looks at the life of George Fredric Handel, an English composer who lived from 1685 to 1759 who was born in Halle, Germany and is widely known as one of the great masters of the baroque movement. The paper examines his childhood and education and looks at some of works including his most notable composition, the oratorio "Messiah".

From the Paper
"Handel was sent as a boy to Friedrich Zachow, an organist and composer at Halle, for three years of training. He then studied law at the University of Halle but later in 1703 joined the opera orchestra at Hamburg, learning and playing while supporting himself by teaching organ lessons to others. It was here that his first two operas, Almira and Nero were written and produced. His life was challenging, as he suffered at least two known strokes and the development of cataracts, which eventually resulted in complete blindness despite a rather painful and rudimentary surgery, yet despite this he continued to write and support the music world up to the day he died.

Abstract
This paper reviews and analyzes Howard E. Smither's article entitled "Handel's Messiah: An Equal Opportunity Musical Experience." According to the paper, this article emphasized that one can understand the era of English Victoriana through the trends and tastes reflected by oratorios and specifically, through the treatment of George Friederic Handel's "Messiah."

From the Paper
"Howard E. Smither's article emphasizes that one can understand the era of English Victoriana through the trends and tastes reflected by oratorios and specifically, through the treatment of George Friederic Handel's Messiah. The Messiah started as a widely provincial, embellished and professionally performed piece of music with an audience of upper class patrons. Oratorios, described by H. Tipper, were the "result of intellectual and artistic comingling (Tipper, 153)." As the epitome of the oratorio, the early 1820's saw fit that the Messiah used large production elements like three cathedral choirs and diverse instrumentation."

Abstract
This essay briefly discusses the similarities and differences between two representative works of George Fridric Handel and Josquin Desprez. Specifically, the paper looks at Handel's, 'Messiah', and at Josquin's 'Missa L'homme arme super voces musicales and outlines how the forms of each are similar - but only up to a point. In so doing, what should become evident is that each work differs somewhat formally even though the basic message is the same.

Abstract
In this article, the writer describes the history and the origins of the castrato. The writer then discusses the relationship between the castrato Senesino and Handel.

From the Paper
"The origin of the castrati is seemingly shrouded in mystery though eunuchs have existed almost since the dawn of civilization serving such functions as the protection of harems the worship of certain deities and participation in musical productions. However the point at which children began to be castrated specifically for the sake of their voices is according to Angus Heriot almost impossible to determine, but it was the coming of Christianity that first provided a genuine musical ...

Abstract
This paper looks at Frederick Douglass' autobiography which describes his childhood of slavery. It is shown how Douglass confronts the ideas of power, family, knowledge, home, violence, and having a sense of self. The author illustrates how Douglass attempts to warn Americans about the dire effects that slavery is going to have on the whole nation and how his book makes astounding progress in the fight to abolish slavery.

From the Paper
"The power a slave owner has over slaves is broad Douglass explains how slavery itself narrows opportunities for slaves to have any sense of self. Like many slaves, Douglass did not know his birth date, which strips him of his own identity from a young age. Slave owners purposely withhold this personal information, attempting to keep slaves from feeling human " they don't want slaves to have the power of human rights. To the slaveholders, they are just property, like cows, horses and sheep. The slaveholders utilize their power by keeping children away from their parents, too, because any sense of family would have given slaves security, and camaraderie " both of which could have caused rebellion against the cruelty of slavery. Douglass knew little of his mother, which prevented him from knowing about his history, his ancestry."
