2. Musical Theatre compositions because that's the genre of both theatre and music that I invest myself into the most. I enjoy the complexities and the emotion behind the music. I specifically want to focus on Stephen Sondheim's compositions.

3. Musical theatre became popular starting in the 1900s, and was revolutionized in the 1940s by R&H's Oklahoma!
Stephen Sondheim then broke into the scene and created complex scores and lyrics that upgraded the pieces on Broadway.

4. The available music recordings online (cast recordings, covers, etc.), interviews, newspaper articles, etc. I am considering doing a musical analysis of Sondheim's music to determine why it's so impactful.

5. How do Stephen Sondheim's musical compositions depict emotion, plot and characterization impactfully?

Good contextual history in Question 3. 

So you're doing an analysis on Sondheim's music to determine why it's impactful? How his compositions depict emotion, plot, and characterization. Your research question is quite clear. That's good! 

How many of Sondheim's pieces will you analyze? You're analyzing it's relationship to the theater right? So like, how music affects the production, what effects it has on the audience right? That's really cool, I was considering doing something like that too!]]> 2017-11-06 00:36:40 UTC https://padlet.com/ray_kao/107tuqto9wjy/wish/203705855 notmichelle https://padlet.com/ray_kao/107tuqto9wjy/wish/203706733 I like music too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!w0w

I would just say make sure you have a wide variety of sources, and put in a bit more focus into what you actually want to say in your explanations and analysis--for example, how are you going to structure a paper written completely on how something conveys emotion?

Overall, great job!]]> 2017-11-07 06:53:31 UTC https://padlet.com/ray_kao/107tuqto9wjy/wish/204216742
