Abstract

To meet the final requirements of my degree in Music Education, I organized, prepared, and performed my senior vocal recital. In addition to this, I completed my capstone by writing an additional version of my program with added program notes, elaborative information, and translations of pieces that are not in English. This program highlights composers Henry Purcell, Franz Schubert, Amy Beach, Leonard Bernstein, Manuel De Falla, Léo Delibes, and Jacques Offenbach. I completed extensive research on their lives, formulating this knowledge into biographies. I also included more detailed information on all of the pieces sung so audience members could have the option to learn more about each piece’s unique meaning and background. This recital is not only a culmination of my efforts throughout my time as a voice student at the School of Music but a lifetime of singing, studying music, and performing. Through much work combined between myself, Dr. Orna Arania, my accompanist Chang Xu, and other collaborators, I was able to perform my recital on December 6th, 2024, at 7pm in the NIU Recital Hall.
