P-01 The Art Of French Mélodie: A Manual For Recital Preparation, Kristen Abraham

Honors Scholars & Undergraduate Research Poster Symposium Programs

I document my journey through the research, development and execution of a recital focused on French mélodie, a genre of art song classified by its intense lyricism and precision. Moving through three phases: thinking, doing and reflecting, I highlight the important processes required to transition seamlessly through each. While going through the project each step is documented in a journal to maintain the integrity of the process. My end goal is to present a “How To” manual with information on planning, preparing and ultimately presenting a recital to the public.
