All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

As this writer began preparation for the recital, many problems of performance began to manifest themselves, problems which are not encountered in opera or oratorio. First one must consider the problem of endurance . Would this singer be able to meet the demands of one full hour or recital performance?

Inasmuch as some of the compositions chosen seemed more demanding than others, it seemed advisable to alternate numbers which placed great physical stress upon the singer with those which allowed some moments of ease and relaxation. It is also necessary to consider significant periods and styles of vocal literature and …

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

It is traditional in a master's recital for violin to include representative works from the Baroque, Classical, Romantic and/or Modern periods. Further, it is customary that the Baroque selection be one of the unaccompanied Bach sonatas or partitas . The program selected in this graduate recital conforms to these standards and to the recommendations of my violin professor, Mr . Richard G. Strawn.

To understand these customs that have developed for violin master'• recitals, it is important to consider the violin literature to see how the forms have varied in the different historical periods. Each new form has brought new …

As long as the writer has been considering his graduate program, he has felt, because of his own peculiar limitations as a performer, that a recital project would be more beneficial to hie developing musicianship than a research and thesis project.

Strangely enough, the writer had participated quite actively for seventeen years in a most varied succession of musical organizations without having acquired that badge of authority that his successful colleagues wore so proudly: mastery of a particular instrument.

During those years, tho writer had sung soprano, alto, tenor, baritone, and bass in various choral groups, performed upon the piano, …

The author began his formal studies toward attainment of an advanced degree in November of 1961. However, the decision to perform a recital was not made until summer, 1965. The desire to improve performance abilities to the point of excellence on at least two instruments was the deciding point in favor of a recital. A more important motivating factor, related to this point of achieving excellence, was the desire to become a better teacher. It is well understood that a teacher's performance on an instrument can inspire students to become better performers. It is a necessity to be able to …

In 1847, the Mormon Church began a migration to the Great Salt Lake Basin, their Zion in the mountains. This pilgrimage was to continue for over half a century, and out of it was to come one of the truly epic stories of the western settlement. Before leaving Nauvoo, these self-styled, Saints of the modern era pledged themselves to set up a system to transport all of their members to Utah, regardless of their financial status. The vow was renewed at the October 1849 Conference held in Salt Lake City. President Heber C. Kimball, first councilor to Brigham Young, suggested …
