Igor Stravinsky's Use of the Bassoon in his Compositions from 1908 to 1948
Igor Stravinsky is widely considered one of the most important and influential composers of the 20th century and a pivotal figure in modernist music. This study analyzed how Stravinsky absorbed the bassoon's solo and ensemble functions which he inherited and later significantly extended the scope of these functions by adapting them to his individual needs. The study concluded that Stravinsky's compositions are and will remain important landmarks in the history of bassoon literature.

Established Fabric Techniques Used to Create Motorized Forms
The ancient artist's influences can still be felt in today's craftsmen. For example, the contemporary weaver Sheila Hick's prayer rugs are an assimulation of the textile techniques of ancient Peru, Persia, and India, and the macramed forms of the contemporary Spanish artist, Aurelis Munoz, are suggestive of the woven huts of many primitive cultures. Because of this influence upon the current investigation, the evolvement of weaving and its techniques, as well as the three-dimensional techniques of basketry, in different parts of the world and in different historical periods are reviewed briefly.

Sonata for Violin and Piano
This is a sonata in four movements for violin and piano. Since certain thematic or accompanimental statements relate the four movements to each other, the sonata may be considered a cyclic work. The four movements are balanced stylistically, rhythmically, and tonally, with the first movement related to the third, and second to the fourth. Movements I and III are characterized bu "traditional" form and content, while II and IV are improvisatory in character.

Serenade for Viola and Orchestra
The Serenade for Viola and Orchestra is a one-movement composition of three connecting sections with two main themes of contrasting character. The "relatedness" of the sections does not depend on common thematic material, but rather on a system whereby motives evolve out of the thematic material and from elements in preceding sections. The sonorous timbre of the viola is exploited and becomes the central tessitura for the piece. The title is representative of the lyrical nature of the composition as a whole, especially the first and third section.

Psalm
Psalm is a composition for symphony orchestra. The duration is from twelve to fifteen minutes. The form is sonata-allegro. Tonal organization is twelve-tone, although melodic development is by traditional methods rather than by row technique. Tempo modulation has replaced the traditional tonal modulation of sonata form. The first theme provides the harmonic basis for the entire work after the introduction. The second theme is used extensively in the development. The development is a fugue in which the techniques of retrograde, inversion, diminution, and augmentation are used. As a study in textures, Psalm displays variety rather than development.
