Show morePaule Maurice (1910-1967) is the little known composer of Tableaux de Provence: Suite for Saxophone and Orchestra, one of the most frequently recorded and studied classical saxophone compositions in history. A more in depth study of Paule Maurice reveals a talented composer and dedicated professor whose career at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris and l'Ecole Normale de Musique de Paris spanned over twenty-five years until her untimely death at age fifty-seven. Maurice composed for theatre, ballet, French National Radio, orchestra, voice, piano, flute, clarinet, and saxophone. There is question as to the whereabouts of many of her manuscripts. This thesis attempts to bring to bear the life and accomplishments of a talented French composer not well remembered in music history.

- Title
- Pragmatic hawk: Joseph C. Grew and the retention of the emperor, 1942-1945.
- Creator
- Osborne, Edward Charles., Florida Atlantic University, O'Sullivan, John
- Abstract/Description
-
The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the policy of "unconditional surrender" and the historical role of Joseph C. Grew and his attempts to affect this policy. Grew was a career diplomat who served as Ambassador to Japan from 1932 to 1942 and he also served as Under Secretary and Acting Secretary of State between December 1944 and August 1945. Grew's experience made him one of the administration's diplomatic experts on Japan and he became a key figure in the formulation of the eventual...
Show moreThe purpose of this thesis is to investigate the policy of "unconditional surrender" and the historical role of Joseph C. Grew and his attempts to affect this policy. Grew was a career diplomat who served as Ambassador to Japan from 1932 to 1942 and he also served as Under Secretary and Acting Secretary of State between December 1944 and August 1945. Grew's experience made him one of the administration's diplomatic experts on Japan and he became a key figure in the formulation of the eventual surrender policy. The traditional analysis of Grew argued that he was an advocate of a "soft peace" with Japan because he suggested the retention of the Emperor as a means of quickly ending the war. However, throughout Grew's tenure as a member of the State Department he continued to publicly and enthusiastically support the administration's call for unconditional surrender. The evidence shows that Grew's concern for the retention of the Emperor was based upon his pragmatic belief that the institution of the throne was the best formula for ending the war quickly with a minimum loss of American and Allied lives.

Show moreMathilde Marchesi played a significant role in vocal education during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Marchesi taught many of the prominent female vocalists of her time and published a wealth of material based on the bel canto style and her own vocal methods. The research presented includes an examination of musical influences in early years, and provides information related to Marchesi's studies with Manuel Garcia II who played an important role in Mathilde's training and future devotion to the bel canto style. Section II defines the Marchesi method, with analysis of her techniques and methodology. Information on three of her most well known students - Nellie Melba, Emma Eames, and her own daughter, Blanche Marchesi, is presented in Section III along with narrative offering insight into Marchesi's personality and character. The thesis concludes with discussion of the viability and applicability of Marchesi's vocal pedagogy one hundred years after her death.

Show moreUnitarian preacher and Union Army officer Liberty Billings arrived in Florida in 1863 with the First South Carolina Volunteer Infantry. Billings settled in Fernandina and became active in Florida Reconstruction politics as a Radical Republican. Most ot the rhetoric regarding Billings focuses on his participation in the 1868 Florida Constitution Convention even though he went on to be State Senator and an influential citizen in Fernandina. This thesis examines the life of Liberty Billings focusing on events preceding and following the Convention. In doing so, it argues that Billings' participation in Reconstruction politics derived from his experiences prior to the Civil War as did his transition from emancipationist to reconciliationist. By examining the earlier years of Billings' life as well as the evidence of his campaigns during 1867, his term as State Senator and Supreme Court cases, it will be demonstrated that Billings abandoned racial equality for class supremacy.
