From the Paper
"The requiem mass is a curious case of a text that has been given hundreds of different musical settings in many different forms -- from plainsong to polyphonic to orchestral -- and styles. The words of the traditional Latin form of the mass are, in themselves, very moving. But the choices composers have made over the centuries have contributed enormously to the emotional and spiritual impact of the text. Each composer who addressed the problem of setting this text had his own motivations and produced a work that bore his individual stamp. A comparison of two requiems, those by Giuseppe Verdi and Gabriel Faur?, demonstrates how the same subject and the same words can be given radically different interpretations by two fine composers. Curiously, in a religious form, neither man was a believer. Yet their Requiems possess the same or even greater spiritual..."

From the Paper
"The later years of Richard Wagner gave rise to his masterpieces which advanced the art of opera. His masterpieces in this stage in life include Tirstan und Isolde (1857-59) which was considered by many to be Wagner's greatest single opera. Another masterpiece was Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg (1862-67) which was Wagner's only comedic opera. This stage in Wagner's life is also responsible for the creation of one of the lengthiest operas that is still performed today, Der Ring Des Nibelungen (The Ring Cycle) which took around 20 years to complete and requires around 15 hours to perform. The Ring Cycle is a set of four operas that are based on characters and elements from the Norse mythology especially those of the Teutonic myth. "

Abstract
This paper discusses that, unlike the Rossini version of the same story, Verdi and Boito's opera "Otello" keeps the plot of the original Shakespeare story intact. This paper presents the opera in detail and denotes that the music and operatic forms are in keeping with the nature of each character. The author believes that the music and the drama are perfectly balanced in "Otello" because Verdi uses the music to further the drama and to create tones for each shift in dramatic emphasis.
From the Paper
"Act II begins with an orchestral introduction that mirrors Iago's energy. Iago delivers his famous soliloquy "Credo in un Dio crudel" and expresses his credo of evil. Continuing to find ways to express Iago's shifting energy, Verdi orchestrates the credo in a way that hovers between arioso and aria, "its devious harmonic and formal twists continuing to the last." When Otello arrives, the two sing a duet that continues to the end of the act, lining the action and words of the entire act around this specific confrontation and the way Iago manipulates Otello during it."

Abstract
The Italian Prime Minister visited New York City on the 100th anniversary of Garibaldi's death. This paper focuses on the life of this man, what he achieved and why he was considered as such a hero to the Italian people of the time. It uses the above visit as a take-off point.
From the Paper
"As I went through the New York Times for April 2, 1982, I came across some very interesting stories. One that caught my attention was entitled, Italy's President Tours City. It was ironic that the day I was born, the President of Italy came to the United States. I thought maybe it was foreshadowing my future. At first, I was going to write about Sandro Pertini, the Italian president at the time of my birth; but, as I read on, I realized he came to New York City to visit the museum for Giuseppe Garibaldi. April 2, 1982 was the 100 year anniversary of his death, which is celebrated with much enthusiasm in Italy."

Abstract
Giuseppe Garibaldi's popularity, his skill at rousing the masses and his military exploits are all credited with making the unification of Italy possible. He also served as a global example of mid-19th century revolutionary nationalism and liberalism. This paper shows that following the liberation of southern Italy from the Neapolitan monarchy, however, Garibaldi chose to sacrifice his liberal republican principles for the sake of unification.
From the Paper
"For many years Garibaldi lived the life of a farmer on Caprera. In 1870 he offered his services to the French government and fought with his two sons in the Franco-Prussian War. Rome was annexed to Italy in October 1870, and Garibaldi was elected a member of the Italian parliament in 1874. In his last years he sympathized with the developing socialist movement in Italy and other countries. Giuseppe Garibaldi died on the Italian island of Caprera in 1882, where he was interred. Five ships of the Italian Navy have been named after him, among which a World War II cruiser and the current flagship, the aircraft carrier Giuseppe Garibaldi."

Faure's Requiem, 2005.

Abstract
Gabriel Faure's requiem in D minor, Op. 48, is one of the most popular requiems (funeral masses in the Christian tradition) and is a tour de force of 19th Century music. Usually performed by choir and orchestra, it is widely considered to be one of the most beautiful requiems written. This paper gives background information, including dates, edits and Faure's own intent in the work, and then gives a complete movement by movement music-to-text evaluation of the requiem itself.
From the Paper
"What is important to note is that the composers of the day tended to write for progressively bigger and bigger orchestras, with thicker, more complicated textures, and phrases which stuck slavishly to the divisions of the bar line. Faure, on the other hand, opted for smaller ensembles and spare orchestrations, omitting violins and winds in the Requiem when he felt they were unnecessary. Faure also thought on a smaller, more intimate "musical" scale than many of his contemporaries. There are none of the larger-than-life statements of Berlioz or Wagner; the entire Requiem has roughly 30 bars of fortissimo singing, and most of it does not rise above mezzoforte."

Abstract
This paper discusses a scene in Giuseppe Verdi's opera "La Traviata". The paper considers the First Act and how it introduces the characters and the situation, foreshadowing much of what is to come while also showing the conflicts within the two main characters and between them as well. The paper notes how both action and music express the same ideas and emotional attitudes.
From the Paper
"In the nineteenth century, the role of women in the theater was often either as victims or as sinners, often at one and the same time. As a rule, women who rebel against the strictures of their society were destroyed. An example is Violetta in La Traviata by Verdi: Violetta ValJry. . . finds she rebels without even trying. . . All around her, members of the family judge, execute, and lay down the law. She dances, she drinks. But the champagne she swallows has none of the grandiose vainglory of Don Giovanni's goblet; her steps are numbered and her lifetime."

Abstract
This paper provides a biography of Gabriel Faure, born on May 12th, 1845, in Pamiers, France, and looks at his musical career and his life as a composer. In particular, it examines his "Requiem", which was written shortly after the death of his father in 1885. It provides a movement by movement analysis and looks at how Faure?s "Requiem" is a piece of extraordinarily beautiful musical sentiment. It analyzes how the delicate melodies and warm, dark orchestration create a rich and distinctly pious effect and how, with the greatest use of simplicity, Faure wrote a work that is of the most humanistic and tender nature.
From the Paper
"Faure?s Requiem embodies a very different feeling than many requiems by other composers. Most profoundly, the tone is more one of exaltation than fear. There is a sense of celebration of life as opposed to a fear of death. A good contrast would be to compare Faure?s Requiem with Mozart?s Requiem. With the use of thick orchestration and driving melodies Mozart created an urgent and, at times, a painful and agonizing feeling. Faure?s Requiem is lighter and more understated. We can infer a lot about his ideas on religion from this piece. At this period the notorious Pope Pius X released an edict stating that church musicians and clergy needed to remove from their repertoire all music of secular and theatrical origins."

Abstract
Written in 1603, "Othello" by William Shakespeare, is a tragedy that was transformed into an opera by Giuseppe Verdi. "Otello" is considered to be Verdi's greatest opera and was performed in Milan on February 5, 1887. This paper discusses how throughout the opera, Otello and Desdemona's relationship changes dramatically and how their relationship change is most evident when contrasting the end of Act I with scene two of Act III. The paper also looks at how Verdi uses many unique musical techniques to match the dramatic needs of the libretto in these two scenes.
From the Paper
"At the end of Act I Otello, the protagonist of the opera, walks into the bedroom where Desdemona is lying clearly enjoying the solace and quietness of his bedroom with his new wife. This scene contrasts directly with the scene before it. With all of the uproar outside now broken up, Otello is now enjoying the peace and quiet with his adored wife. While Otello is walking toward Desdemona, the focus is placed on Desdemona while violins are playing very softly. The soft violins playing in the background give Desdemona even more of a romantic quality to her. As Otello sits down on the bed he reaches to touch her face and once again soft violins are playing without any drums or horns in the orchestra. "

Mass Murder in History, 2001.

Abstract
This paper discusses the lessons that can be learned on why political mass murder has occurred, how it can be prevented in the future, and an analysis of the history of western civilization since the 17th century.
From the paper:
"Mass murder like mass hysteria is a terrifying phenomenon to which the Western civilization has succumbed to all too easily in the bygone eras. As the term suggests, mass murder is the brutal killing of a massive population for a variety of reasons that can be either religious, moral and social or political, bigoted and racist in nature. Whatever the causes, mass murder remains one of those episodes in the history of Western civilization, which one would gladly like to forget. However not many measure up to the extermination of European Jews that occurred during the Second World War. This was a tragedy of insurmountable proportions and can be attributed to Hitler?s propagandist campaign that successfully mobilized the German masses, particularly the youth of the country. This incident better known as the Holocaust can be described as the extermination of European Jews by the Nazis during the years 1939-45."

Mass versus Micro Marketing, 2007.
A description of trends away from mass marketing to more customized advertising and marketing approaches.

Abstract
This paper examines new approaches to marketing that are more specialized than those in the past. The paper defines mass marketing and micro marketing and gives examples of when they are most effective. Additionally, the paper reviews an article by Anthony Bianco, Tom Lowry, Robert Berner, Michael Arndt entitled "The Vanishing Mass Market," which analyzes the shift from mass marketing and mass production to micro marketing and mass product customization. The paper also discusses the implications for the economy of the shift from mass marketing to micro marketing.
From the Paper
"The revolution consumers want starts with advertising tailored specifically to their tastes, followed by products that can be customized to their needs. The article by Bianco, Lowry, Berner, Arndt (2004) analyzes the shift from mass marketing and mass production to micro marketing, and with that shift, mass product customization. The differences the authors provide between mass marketing and micro marketing is best crystallized in the shift consumers are continually forcing towards more individualized, relevant, and tailored messages. This move to more specific advertising and promotion to consumers is making mass marketing, through the mediums of TV, print, and radio, less effective for marketers to use. In their place, the development and refining of messaging for Web sites, cell phones, PDAs, and highly specific media buying on cable networks that have themselves tailored their content to the needs of a specific audience...."
