Book excerpt: On March 16, 2013 I presented a vocal recital as a requirement for the degree of Master of Music in Vocal Performance. The works performed in the recital covered several languages and musical time periods. The recital began with “When I am laid in earth,” the climactic mezzo-soprano aria from Henry Purcell's opera Dido and Aeneas, and continued with a set of three German Romantic lied: Der Tod, das ist die kühle Nacht, Auf dem Kirchhofe, and Von ewiger Liebe, all composed by Johannes Brahms. Before the conclusion of the the first half, there was a set of two Henri Duparc art songs: Chanson Triste and Lamento, followed by the aria “Mon coeur s'ouvre à ta voix” from Camille Saint-Saëns's opera Samson et Dalila. The second half consisted of two sections with selections taken from the song sets Seven Elizabethan Lyrics by Roger Quilter and Tre Liriche by Ottorino Respighi. The final piece was “Stride la vampa!” from Giuseppe Verdi's opera Il trovatore. The variety of repertoire on the recital allowed me to demonstrate several aspects of vocal technique that I have mastered, including proper breath support, vowel placement, projection, diction, language study, musicality, and agility. For example, while “Nebbie” from Tre Liriche and “Stride la vampa!” are both in the Italian language, they have considerable stylistic differences. “Nebbie” is an art song with dramatic, sweeping melodic lines and stark dynamic contrasts that follow the characterization of the poetry. “Stride la vampa!” tells a horrific story as the character longs for vengeance for mother and sinks into insanity; all these emotions are reflected in the triple meter and dotted rhythms. Studying both pieces allowed me to further my technique and understanding of performance as a craft.

Book excerpt: At 11:00 AM on April 5, 2014, Ms. Román presented a vocal recital as a requirement for the degree of Master of Music in Vocal Performance. The works performed represented several musical time periods and languages. The recital opened with a German language song cycle for bass or alto and piano by Johannes Brahms titled Vier ernste Gesänge. Following the German set, the English language songs were introduced by the aria Must the winter come so soon? from Samuel Barber's opera Vanessa. It continued with three 20th century English songs, The Desire for Hermitage, Solitary Hotel, and A green lowland of Pianos, by the same composer, which ended the first half of the recital. The second half of the recital consisted of a combination of Italian, French, and Spanish songs representing a wide variety of vocal techniques from long, flowing phrases, that require proper use of breath control, to fast-paced patter that requires vocal agility. A Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart aria, Parto, ma tu ben mio from the opera La Clemenza di Tito, commenced the second half of the recital. Followed by the French duet Sous le dôme épais, more commonly known as The Flower Duet, from the opera Lakmé by Léo Delibes. The duet introduces the French portion of the recital, leading to three more songs in the same language. The duet was followed by three French art songs by Henri Duparc, Chanson triste, Le manoir de Rosemonde, and Soupir. Following the French set was the aria Stride la vampa! from the opera Il Trovatore by Giuseppe Verdi. The recital is finalized with Canción de la gitana, a romanza from the zarzuela La alegría del batallón by Spanish composer José Serrano. The variety of repertoire on the recital allowed for the demonstration of several aspects of vocal technique, including breath control, language dominance, diction, phrasing, and agility.

Book excerpt: At 5:30 p.m. on the sixth of April, 2015, Alexandra Flinn-Vivas presented her graduate recital in vocal performance. The recital was sung at the University of Florida Music Building in room 101. The performance was accompanied by pianist Katherine Plympton and also featured Soprano Samone Hicks. The repertoire selected reflected different musical time periods and songs were sung in English, Italian, French, and German. Handel's Hence, Iris Hence Away was performed along with Gluck's Che farò senza Euridice. Ici-bas, Chanson d'amour, and Au cimétiere by Fauré were also featured along with two of Brahms' German lieder and Strauss' Chacun à son goût from Die Fledermaus. Gerald Finzi's song cycle was also a part of the program and the recital ended with Ms. Hicks and Ms. Flinn-Vivas singing Mozart's comical duet See, Here, Dorabella from Cosi Fan Tutte. The recital reflected different attitudes, musical styles, and required vocal agility as some pieces had coloratura while other songs were filled with intense drama and long sustained notes. Vocal technique, breath control, and artistic interpretation were all necessary elements incorporated to fulfill the demands of executing each song successfully.
