Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This project paper consists of written extended program notes for a Master's Recital performed in the Spring Semester of 2018. These notes include short biographies about each composer's life and career, a brief introduction to the librettist, a translation of each piece, composer and librettist biographies, and style and performance practices of the selections. The recital was comprised of approximately sixty minutes of music, in six language sets: French, German, Italian, Japanese, English, and Spanish. The style periods explored the late Classical, early Romantic, mid-Romantic, late Romantic, early Twentieth-Century, mid and late Twentieth-Century. The first set featured composers Duparc and Massenet, with Pourquoi me reveillier from the opera Werther completing the set. The second set is the German set. While the Beethoven and Flotow pieces were composed chronologically before the French set, they show the vocal movement toward the Romantic period, both musically and lyrically. The third set is from turn of the century Italy. The verismo movement was the operatic answer to the global artistic shift toward realism and truth on stage, in writing, and in art. The fourth section is the Japanese set. Western culture has had an immense impact on the entirety of Japanese culture itself. One of those influences can be observed in its traditional art song. The fifth set includes two songs in English and one in Spanish. These pieces were included to highlight the contributions of modern American composers that have stayed within the traditionally operatic vocal style as seen through the Verdian archetype. The final selection on this recital was a piece by Agustin Lara (1897-1970). Granada is a popular a Spanish art song written in 1932.

Book excerpt: (Book). Art Song: Linking Poetry and Music is a follow-up to author Carol Kimball's bestselling Song: A Guide to Art Song Style and Literature . Rather than a general survey of art song literature, the new book clearly and insightfully defines the fundamental characteristics of art song, and the integral relationship between lyric poetry and its musical settings. Topics covered include poetry basics for singers, exercises for singers in working with poetry, insights into composers' musical settings of poetry, building recital programs, performance suggestions, and recommended literature for college and university classical voice majors. The three appendices address further aspects of poetry, guidelines for creating a recital program, and representative classical voice recitals of various descriptions. Art Song: Linking Poetry and Music is extremely useful as an "unofficial" text for college/university vocal literature classes, as an excellent resource for singers and voice teachers, and of interest to all those who are fascinated by the rich legacy of the art song genre.

Book excerpt: My recital program embraces five languages and spans four periods of western music, two Chinese folk songs, and one Chinese art song. The styles represented are the Mozart concert aria, German Lied, French mélodie, Spanish art song, and Chinese folk and art song. These songs reflect the traditional style and characteristics of their times and cultural origins. They bring the audience on an emotional journey, traveling through the jewels of each respective culture. In 1778, Mozart composed the concert aria "Basta,Vincesti... Ah, non lasciarmi" for soprano and orchestra (K. 295a). The story of the text comes from Greek mythology. In this aria, Dido tries to convince Aeneas not to leave her, and then Aeneas painfully asks himself how can he leave her. The greatest expressive challenge in the piece is to vocally express Dido's emotional struggle of anger and sorrow. The singer must dive into Dido's inner emotional world to empathize with her feelings and to express her complicated emotions. Richard Strauss was a leading German composer of the late Romantic and early twentieth century. His song "Die Nacht" Op.10, No. 3 composed in 1885, describes the descending night that steals everything away from the world. The poet fears that their beloved will also be stolen away by the night. The singer must express a fear of loss as well as passion for their beloved. The piece "Breit uber mein haupt" is one song from 6 Lieder aus 'Lotosblätter', Op.19 , first published in 1888. The poetry expresses a longing for their lover's hair, their eyes, their face, and their soul. It is a challenge to capture vocally the passion and love of the text and musical writing. "Morgen" from Op. 27 is the last song from a set of four songs composed in 1894. The song describes the silent joy brought by the daylight. The poetry speaks of being united through the day in "the muted silence of happiness." The poem captures the profound connection of love through the silence of the morning. Breath control is one of the primary technical challenges, as the piece has long phrases and a slow tempo. By mastering the control of the release of air through use of the diaphragm, the singer is able to navigate the lengthy phrases with expression and power to capture the character of the poetry. "Kling" is the third song from a set of five songs entitled 5 Lieder, Op. 48 composed in 1900. The poetry speaks about personal transformation and the release of the past. It uses nature metaphors to connect the poet's sense of rebirth with the rebirth of the world. The poem has an almost psalm-like character and is composed of rich imagery. The piece is challenging and rests as one of the most difficult art songs of the modern repertoire. The song builds with gradually accelerated rhythm that climaxes on a powerful high C in the final phrase of the song. While technically demanding, Strauss' decision to build musically to the final high C is a fitting expression of the final line of text "Resound, my soul, resound." Fêtes Galantes for voice and piano, is a beautiful and influential song cycle composed by Debussy in 1891-1904. Debussy's art song repertoire is an important cornerstone for the vocal graduate student to master the challenges of early 20th century music. The cycle is impressionistic in style. Every piece is a challenging for the singer, both technically and artistically. In addition, the piano accompaniment is not generally supportive of the vocal part rhythmically, and the singer must be independent of the accompaniment, as the melody is not expressed in the piano. Debussy's vocal writing is an important part of vocal training at the graduate student level. The singer must take time to understand the musical background, and analyze the difference between the vocal line and the musical textures of the accompaniment. The singer must be sensitive to the deep expression of love in both the text and music. The composer's cynical attitude toward love adds layers of depth to the proper interpretation of the songs. With thoughtful analysis and practice one can master the characteristics of Debussy. The Collection of little songs in the antique style composed by Fernando Granados between1896 - 1900 captures the mood and color of Spain. The lovely "El tra la la y el punteado" tells of a "maja" (a colloquial word for attractive woman) who informs her man that she intends to keep singing no matter what he does or says to her. "El majo timido" tells about a "timid man" who looks in at her at night but never comes in. She is amused by his shyness, but at the same time interested in him. Both songs are challenging Spanish folk songs that play with the Spanish girl's passion, romance, and flirting. When a singer approaches these pieces, she must become the woman or "maja." She must express the flirtatious character of the music and the simplicity of the folk poetry. The folkloric Spanish melodies are rich and beautiful as is the musical texture of Granados accompaniments. Spanish song writer Fernando Obradors (1897-1945) composed "Del cabello más sutil" which is a beautiful song describing the beauty of the softness of a woman's hair. It is a song with affectionate and joyful rhythm. The smoothness of the hair makes the singer want to kiss their love. The folk song "Qumandi Flower" is written in the Uighur style of China. The passionate poetry ignites hope and romance between two lovers. The poetry expresses their love metaphorically using imagery of a blooming flower. The rhythm is syncopated and intense. The syncopated and lively rhythms inspire the listener to get up and dance to the music. The vocal contrast between the slow and fast tempos inspires a desire to sing and dance. The Han Folk genres song "Embroidered Purse" is another classic song in the folk tradition of China. The poetry expresses a young lady's happiness and longing while she embroiders a purse for her lover. The most difficult aspect of the song is to vocally differentiate the young lady's three different feelings of shyness, longing, and hope. The art song "Pamir, How Beautiful My Hometown" comes from song cycle Motherland Seasons - Autumn composed by Qiufeng Zheng during the 1980's. Pamir is a place with beautiful natural scenery located in Xin Jiang China where the Uighur people live. The text praises the rich mountains and rivers of the motherland, and the people's happy life. The rhythmic contrast is very strong, beginning from lyrical and slow and then transitions to 7/8 meter with a driving tempo. The singer needs not only to control the syncopated rhythm and the slow tempo at the beginning, but must also use a wide vocal range. The singer also needs to capture the beauty of Pamir and express affection towards the Chinese motherland. A graduate vocal recital is an opportunity to develop musical experience and accomplishment. Through the recital presentation of different periods and different languages, one learns to appreciate the charm and value of Western and Eastern music. They are indeed the musical cultural treasures in the world.
