Abstract
This performance based thesis surrounds a senior vocal performance half recital, a cumulation of musical knowledge, practice, and reflection. With the intent of improving music pedagogy and performance, the purpose of this performance project is to research, perform, and reflect on my senior vocal music half recital given on November 11, 2022. The particular problems of this study were to research chosen repertoire through biographic information of composers, historical perspectives, and circumstances of each composition; prepare a recital through an established creative process, analysis of musical elements, completion of preview jury, and an established understanding of the influences of my performance; perform my senior vocal half recital on November 11, 2022; and reflect on the experience, prestige, and issues surrounding the performance.
Research of each composition allows the performer to connect and understand how, where, and why their repertoire was created. Establishing a creative process determines the success and timeline of each performers’ journey to learning their given repertoire. Performing a senior vocal recital showcases the cumulative time, work, and musical growth of the individual. While personal reflection and feedback of the performance allows continued growth in music and relishment of success.
