Eclectic: A Recording Project Of Original Crossover Compositions, Chance Moore

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Honors Thesis

This is the final documentation for my senior recital that happened on April 27, 2019. Bach, Beethoven, Debussy, Prokofiev, and Liszt were all represented during this hour-long show. The entire repertoire was memorized and challenging. Notably, the entire recital is set in minor keys, which allowed for a stormy and tumultuous aural experience.
