Karl King/Trumpet Music
[ send me this essay ]
A 3 page research paper/essay that analyzes 2 composition by turn-of-the twentieth century composer Karl L. King (1891-1971), an American composer famous for his march music (Karl King). A self-taught musician, King began his career playing in and directing circus bands (Karl King). During this long career, he wrote and published more than 300 works, which includes 188 marches. A contemporary of the "March King," John Philip Sousa, it should be noted that King out-wrote Sousa by over 50 marches (Karl King). Some scholars have argued that it was the superb musicality of King's compositions that limited his success compared to Sousa (Karl King). This examination of his compositions, A Trumpeter's Prayer contrasted against Emblem of Freedom, indicates the scope of his considerable musical talent as these are two very different compositions. Bibliography lists 1 source.

Kaufman & Ferber/Depression Comedy & Dinner at Eight
[ send me this essay ]
A 3 page essay that discusses the classic play by George S. Kaufman and Edna Ferber. The writer argues that during the Great Depression, comedy provided a surcease from the rigors of daily life (Widner, 1998). However, it was only possible to forget the trouble imposed by the Depression to a certain extent. In their sophisticated comedy, Dinner at Eight, playwrights George S. Kaufman and Edna Ferber address the topic of the Depression, but do so by picturing that the economic woes of the country were affecting everyone--even the very rich. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Kaufman & Ferber/Depression Comedy & The Royal Family
[ send me this essay ]
A 3 page essay that discusses theater during the Depression. The writer argues that it was through the warmth and pathos of comedy that people could forget --if just for a little while--the trauma that was going on around them and that this was a psychologically God-send to the country as a whole. Although George S. Kaufman and Edna Ferber's The Royal Family (1928) was written during the last years of prosperity, this play was one of the comedies that sustain the nation during the first years of the Depression. Its story of an acting family --the Cavendishes--and the sacrifices that they made for a life in the theater-- was a fantastic distraction from the realities of life during the Depression. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Kenneth Branagh And Franco Zeffirelli's "Hamlet" - Comparison
[ send me this essay ]
7 pages in length. Many have tried to match the integrity of Shakespeare's Hamlet when creating a film version of the classic story, however, few have been able to capture the disposition, direction, artistry or script precision as straightforwardly as in Kenneth Branagh's version. Comparing this movie to that of Franco Zeffirelli's celebrated adaptation, one cannot help but identify myriad inconsistencies in the latter's overall approach that draws away from the appreciation of Shakespeare's fundamental application, not the least of which includes the differing components mentioned above. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
