Duke Thesis
Singers and composers?
I'm writing a speech (essentially a research project) during the great American songbook and I can decide no time what I do in the singers and composers. I think I can find more information about the singers that I can not composers. I think I'll do my thesis or central idea for his contribution to American music. So what should I do? The singers that I have in mind are: Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole and Billie Holiday. The composers I have in mind are: The Gershwin, Cole Porter and Duke Ellington. Please give me your comments. Thanks.
Choose the composers and their music. You must be able to find much about them online and in the library. Do not forget some of the other "big" at the time – Harold Arlen, Irving Berlin, Hoagy Carmichael, Jerome Kern, Henry Mancini, Johnny Mercer, etc. The intelligent combination of words, rhymes and music are examples of great composers rival. It would be nice listen to his speech. Good luck. Musician, published composer, Director.
