Instructions: Summary: create a zine related to the topic listed below. A zine is a self-published magazine that has roots in the punk scene and various other underground and independent arts scenes. They provide a way to connect musicians with fans and other like-minded individuals and provide a forum to discuss important cultural and political issues, share resources, and critique larger social and political systems. Your zine can include use of first person where relevant and does not need to maintain an academic tone throughout. Creating Your Zine You can design your zine using computer art, graphics, hand drawn images and illustrations that are scanned to be included, and/or collages of images you have collected from other sources. Your zine should be thoughtful, engaging, and interesting to look at. Topic: Gender, Branding and Pop a. This topic will require you to critically discuss the Lifecycle Model described by Kristin Lieb (other document) . Your zine might focus on one artist throughout or a handful to illustrate the different phases. Remember that the Lifecycle Model applies to female pop stars (not rappers or rock bands), and that not all female pop artists navigated the Lifecycle Model. ▪ Keep in mind that an artist with only one or two albums will not have moved past the Temptress phase and therefore will not provide enough material to warrant an entire Zine that revolves around them. b. Artist: Beyoncé c. You will need a page following your Letter that explains the Lifecycle Model for the reader. d. Your spotlight might focus on the artist’s good girl debut and perhaps even transition to temptress, leaving the other phases to be explored on subsequent pages e. Within this topic, you might include a page that considers the issue of age in Lifecycle (whether that’s the issue of debuting at a young age or the issuing of ageing out). f. You might include a page that describes the brand of the artist in your spotlight and whether it’s been successful or not ▪ Remember, branding is not a phase in the LM. It is the messages and narratives you take away from engaging with the artist g. You might include a page on voice policing that explores the tension women face to sexualize themselves (ie. to become a temptress) and the criticism that inevitably follows, using specific examples remember to include specific music examples to illustrate your points, citing lyrics wherever necessary. Requirements and Elements of the Zine: 1. Requirements: i. Your zine should be 9 pages, including the front cover and bibliography. ii. Your zine should consist of no less than 2000 words, excluding the bibliography. Please do not exceed 2500 words. iii. Each page should be approximately the size of a slide or word doc page. Do not divide these into two. iv. Your zine should not include video v. It should be in a casual tone – no thesis, body paragraphs or conclusion
2. Your zine should consist of the following elements: i. Front cover – Include a title, your name, and course code ii. Letter from the Editor ▪ This should serve as an introduction to your zine. Think of this as an informal way to let the reader know what to expect in the pages that follow ▪ Your letter should immediately follow the front cover and be approximately 300 words iii. Artist Spotlight ▪ Choose an artist who relates to your topic and describe how their music/career relate to the topic of your zine. • This should not be a biography • The artist should be discussed in a critical manner in relation to your topic of choice ▪ Approximately 500-700 words ▪ The spotlight can come anywhere between your Letter and Closing Remarks. ▪ Your entire zine does not have to revolve around this artist. This page is an opportunity to discuss one woman related to your topic in a meaningful manner. Feel free to incorporate other women we have discussed in class on the other pages of your zine. Example: Brittany spears, Madonna, Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, Rihanna iv. The next 4 pages may draw upon the following elements. ▪ Top 3/5/10 list • Ie. Top 3 videos confronting respectability, heteronormativity, or the Jezebel trope etc. ▪ Statistics related to your theme ▪ ▪ FAQs • For Gender and Branding, for example, a FAQ page following your Letter introducing the reader to the concept of the Lifecycle Model would be useful. • A FAQ page could also outline what respectability, or the Jezebel trope are, for example. ▪ Advice Column (ie. how not to police women, or how to create a successful brand) ▪ Historical timelines related to your theme (ie. important women or performances related to your topic) ▪ Music Review (Album or Concert) • Must relate to topic ▪ Critiques of sexist, racist or homophobic reviews or interviews (ie. critique a review that polices a particular artist) • Alternatively, write a satirical review of a male artist that ‘flips the scriipt,’ drawing the attention the absurdity of the policing women face *If you choose to include a Top 3/5/10 list, Timeline, or Statistics be sure to provide brief explanations for your choices. Simply listing a number of women musicians or statistics without explanation or context will receive ‘Needs Improvement’ on the rubric.* v. Closing Remarks ▪ Approximately 300 – 400 words ▪ This should effectively summarize your zine ▪ Do not introduce new ideas or artists who have not been discussed elsewhere in the zine. vi. The 9th page (following closing remarks) should be a bibliography ▪ The bibliography should be formatted using MLA citation style ▪ The bibliography should contain a minimum of 5 sources, two of which must be academic/peer reviewed. You may exceed the required number of sources. Sources to be used are titled: Gender_Branding_and_the_Modern_Music_Industry_The_…_—-_(4_THE_LIFECYCLE_FOR_FEMALE_POPULAR_MUSIC_STARS)
3. Journal of Popular Music Studies
4. Women and Music: A Journal of Gender and Culture
5. International Journal of Cultural Studies
6. Celebrity Studies
7. Popular Music and Society
▪ Avoid using MA Theses or PhD Dissertations for your academic sources ▪ Use of unreliable websites such as Wikipedia is strictly prohibited ▪ Required Readings will not count towards the 5 sources ▪ Lecture material should be cited ▪ Because we will not be distributing the zines, you do not need to worry about citing images Two Final Notes Regarding the Content and Pages: 1. Please do not include videos or links in your zine. Links are only permitted for citation purposes. 2. When constructing your zine be sure to provide variety in the pages. You should not have multiple Top 5 lists or FAQ pages, for example. Tips for Editing Your Zine: i. When editing your zine pay attention to how your creative choices effect the readability of the zine ii. The text should not be obscured by images iii. Ensure the text clearly stands out from the background and is an appropriate size iv. Be strategic with your image choices. They should relate to the topic and no clutter the page. Marking Scheme: An ‘Outstanding’ zine will be creative, thoughtful, organized, and demonstrate a deep understanding of the theme presented. Consider the following questions while you create your zine. • Do you communicate and integrate ideas appropriate to the topic? • Do you include details (facts, examples, descriiptions) to support, develop and illustrate your ideas? • Do you demonstrate a thoughtful engagement with the ideas, information, and issues presented during class? • Do you have an effective opening and closing to your zine? • Does the writing and various elements of the zine maintain focus on the topic you have chosen? • Is your zine creative and interesting to look at? • Have you cited appropriately, met the required number of academic sources, and utilized the correct MLA citation style?

Written Assignment #2 – A Night at the Opera 
A night at the opera was society’s entertainment long before radio, television, music players and streaming! Though the earliest recorded opera is Jacopo Peri’s Dafne, first performed in 1597, opera is still quite popular today. Consider why it has “staying power” (long-lasting) as you complete the assignment below:
Listen to the three arias below and read the translations and subtitles as you listen to understand what the opera aria is all about.
Leontyne Price sings “Ritorna Vincitor” from Verdi’s opera AidaLinks to an external site.
Minimize Video

Italian to English Translation of aria “Ritorna vincitor
Ritorna vincitor!
E dal mio labbro uscì l’empia parola!
Vincitor del padre mio di lui
Che impugna l’armi per me
Per ridonarmi una patria,
Una reggia e il nome illustre
Che qui celar m’è forza!
Vincitor de’miei fratelli ond’io lo vegga,
Tinto del sangue amato,
Trionfar nel plauso dell’Egizie coorti!
E dietro il carro,
Un Re, mio padre di catene avvinto!
L’insana parola o Numi sperdete!
Al seno d’un padre la figlia rendete,
Struggete le squadre dei nostri oppressor!
Ah! sventurata! Che dissi?
E l’amor mio?
Dunque scordar poss’io questo fervido amore
Che, oppressa e schiava,
Come raggio di sol qui mi beava?
Imprecherò la morte a Radamès
a lui ch’amo pur tanto!
Ah! non fu interra mai da più crudeli
Angoscie un core affranto!
I sacri nomi di padre d’amante,
Nè profferir poss’io nè ricordar
Per l’un per l’altro confusa tremante
Io piangere vorrei pregar.
Ma la mia prece in bestemmia si muta
Delitto è il pianto a me colpa il sospir
In notte cupa la mente è perduta
E nell’ansia crudel vorrei morir.
Numi, pietà  del mio soffrir!
Speme non v’ha pel mio dolor
Amor fatal tremendo amore
Spezzami il cor, fammi morir!
Return victor!
And from my lips escapes the impious word!
Victor over my father –
over the armies
defending my country,
my palace, and the illustrious name
that is my sky, my strength!
Victor over my brothers, I will see
with whose loved blood is stained –
Triumphant in the applause of Egyptian troops.
And behind his chariot,
a king, my father, the captive of this victor!
The insane word, o gods, forget!
To the bosom of his father return his daughterk
struggling against the squadrons of our
oppressor!
Ah! unhappy one! What did I say?
And my love?
Can I ever forget the fervent love
that oppresses and enslaves!
Like rays of the sun which blesses me?
I will call for death to Radames,
To him that I love forever!
never on earth, by more cruelty
was a heart torn!
In the sacred name of my father, who I love,
I cannot offer or recall
For one or the other confused, trembling,
I weep and want to pray.
But my prayer becomes blasphemy
A crime are my tears, my sighs are my sin.
In night-darkness the mind is lost.
And in cruel anguish, I want to die.
Gods, have pity on my suffering!
There is no hope in my woe
Fatal love, tremendous love,
Break my heart or let me die!

German to English translation of Aria “Bei Mannern welch Libe fuhlen”
Bei Männern welche Liebe fühlen
Libretto: Emanuel Schikaneder
_Pamina:_
Bei Männern, welche Liebe fühlen,
fehlt auch ein gutes Herze nicht.
_Papageno:_
Die süßen Triebe mitzufühlen,
ist dann der Weiber erste Pflicht.
_Beide:_
Wir wollen uns der Liebe freu’n,
wir leben durch die Lieb’ allein.
_Pamina:_
Die Lieb’ versüßet jede Plage,
ihr opfert jede Kreatur.
_Papageno:_
Sie würzet uns’re Lebenstage,
sie wirkt im Kreise der Natur.
_Beide:_
Ihr hoher Zweck zeigt deutlich an:
nichts Edler’s sei, als Weib und Mann.
Mann und Weib, und Weib und Mann,
reichen an die Gottheit an.
Men who feel the call of love
English translation © Richard StokesLinks to an external site.
_Pamina:_
Men who feel the call of love
Do not lack a gentle heart.
_Papageno:_
To share these sweet desires
Is women’s first duty.
_Both:_
We shall rejoice in love,
We live for love alone.
_Pamina:_
Love sweetens every sorrow,
All creatures pay it homage.
_Papageno:_
Love adds spice to our days on earth,
Love is at work throughout all nature.
_Both:_
Its exalted goal is manifest:
Nothing is more noble than man and wife.
Man and wife, and wife and man,
Attain divinity.
Brindisi aka The Drinking Song (The Royal Opera)-From Verdi’s opera La TraviataLinks to an external site.

Translation from Italian to English for the Aria “Brindisi”
La Traviata – Brindisi (original lyric)
Alfredo:
Libiamo, libiamo ne’lieti calici
che la belleza infiora.
E la fuggevol ora s’inebrii
a voluttà.
Libiamo ne’dolci fremiti
che suscita l’amore,
poichè quell’ochio al core
Omnipotente va.
Libiamo, amore fra i calici
più caldi baci avrà.
All:
Ah, libiamo;
amor fra i calici
Più caldi baci avrà
Violetta:
Tra voi tra voi saprò dividere
il tempo mio giocondo;
Tutto è follia nel mondo
Ciò che non è piacer.
Godiam, fugace e rapido
e’il gaudio dell’amore,
e’un fior che nasce e muore,
ne più si può goder.
Godiam c’invita un fervido
accento lusighier.
All:
Godiam, la tazza e il cantico
la notte abbella e il riso;
in questo paradise
ne sopra il nuovo dì.
Violetta:
La vita è nel tripudio
Alfredo:
Quando non s’ami ancora.
Violetta:
Nol dite a chi l’ignora,
Alfredo:
e’ il mio destin così …
All:
Godiamo, la tazza e il cantico
la notte abbella e il riso;
in questo paradiso ne sopra il nuovo dì.
La Traviata – Toast
Alfredo:
Let’s drink from the joyful cups
that beauty inflames.
And the fleeting hour became evident
voluptuous.
We liberate in the slightest quivering
that raises love,
as that at the core
Omnipotent goes.
Let’s free, love between the glasses
warmer kisses will have.
All:
Ah, let us free;
love among the glasses
Warmer kisses will have
Violet:
I will be able to divide between you
my joyous time;
Everything is madness in the world
What is not pleasure.
Godiam, fleeting and quick
It is the joy of love,
it is a flower that is born and dies,
no more can be enjoyed.
Godiam invites us a fervid
lusighier accent.
All:
Godiam, the cup and the song
night abbella and laughter;
in this paradise
ne over the new day.
Violet:
Life is in jubilation
Alfredo:
When you do not love me yet.
Violet:
Do not say to those who ignore it,
Alfredo:
it’s my destiny like this …
All:
We enjoy the cup and the song
night abbella and laughter;
in this paradise over the new day.

1)What are some of the ways that studying music can help you in your life, as well as society in general, now or in the future? Hint: go back to our first module text and slides. Ideas where studying music might help include health, wealth, academics, mental health, social cohesion, understanding other people, and so on. 
2)The 20th century American composer Aaron Copland wrote a book called “What to Listen for in Music”. Some quotes from Copland are here: https://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/40015.Aaron_Copland Read through the quotes and select the 2 or 3 of them that are most meaningful to you, and explain why. 
3)In this class, a breathing technique was taught to make listening to music more mindful. This technique can be used in any situation where you need your mind to be more focused OR where you need to reduce your level of anxiety. Review the technique and also review the Ted Talk video in which Evelyn Glennie discusses her mission to teach the world to listen. What is most valuable from these two aspects of our class? 
4)The composer Pauline Oliveros was also very interested in the process of mindful listening, both to conventional music and to everything in the world and interactions around us. Some quotes from her are here: https://quotefancy.com/pauline-oliveros-quotesRead through the quotes and select 2 are 3 that are most meaningful to you, and explain why.
