...on monitor? Is there a freeware alarm clock application that will help one gradually wake up by slowly turning on the monitor and playing music?

I very much doubt you'll find one that will turn your monitor on. You could have one that covers the screen with a black window, whos opacity changes, but that would require your monitor to be on in the first place.

Alarms that play music all ready exist, I use one myself, it's just called 'Alarm Clock' !
