A look at music through the ages

Music is, as we know, organized into many different eras based on different compositional and performance techniques and of course various composers. Even subtle changes from one era to the next create drastic differences in music over longer periods of time. This recital was planned to draw upon several different major eras of vocal music and explore the different techniques and styles characteristic to each. Because of the limitations of my own voice and time restrictions, this recital focused on four eras of music; Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and 20th Century. The following Author's Statement is a description of the planning and preparation process preceding the recital, and also information on each selection performed in the recital.Thesis (B.?)Honors Colleg
