In this study, background information, International Phonetic Alphabet pronunciations, poetic translations, and musical analyses of the ten songs that comprise Gabriel Fauré’s La Chanson d’Ève, Op. 95 are provided. Included is the relationship between his original poetry and Fauré’s resultant song cycle. Additionally, a portion is dedicated to an overview of the registers of the mezzo-soprano voice, and it specifically addresses who is best suited to perform La Chanson d’Ève. This document looks at the vocal challenges presented for the mezzo-soprano voice within each song, particularly the subject of vowel modification as it relates to the IPA pronunciation guide. Finally, by gathering all the pertinent information on Fauré’s La Chanson d’Ève into one document, this performance guide creates a succinct tool for singers and teachers in the vocal studio.

Gabriel Fauré’s Requiem, Op. 48 was an evolving work, which he continued to revise from its inception in 1887 until the published version of 1900. The focus and intent of this paper is to present a detailed analysis of Requiem, Op. 48 as well as historical background to aid conductors in the preparation and performance of this work. Discussions include the history of the requiem mass as a liturgical form, the evolution of Requiem, Op. 48, the John Rutter edition (1984) and his research, and a conductor’s analysis addressing issues of harmony, form, and style.

A new method for the efficient synthesis of ferrocenylenones was developed. Acryloyl, methacryloyl, crotonyl, cinnamoyl, and &amp / #946 / -methylcrotonyl chlorides reacted with ferrocene in the presence of a Lewis acid (EtAlCl2 or EtAlCl2-Me3Al) to give the corrosponding ferrocenylenones (acryloyl, methacryloyl, crotonyl, cinnamoyl, and &amp / #946 / -methylcrotonylferrocenes) in good isolated yields. Using the Gabriel-Cromwell reaction, acryloyl and crotonoylferrocenes were converted to the novel ferrocenyl substituted aziridines with benzylamine, isopropylamine and furfurylamine. The aziridines were isolated in good to excellent yields.
