| Abstract | As I prepared my senior vocal recital, I grew frustrated that there was no guidance to assist me or my teacher in incorporating elements outside of the standard recital framework: uncommon choices. Because I gained a great deal of practical experience from my own recital preparation, I decided to craft a document to outline important issues to consider as well as provide helpful resources for students seeking to incorporate uncommon choices into their recitals, and for teachers as they assist and counsel them in this process. In this thesis, the programs of past senior vocal recitals in the Oregon State University music area are surveyed to find the standard repertoire inclusions, and then possibilities for alternative choices are examined. The choices examined are use of transpositions, language, genres, larger works, ensembles, and the physical program. This thesis concludes that the benefits of including uncommon choices in a senior vocal recital outweigh the challenges of doing so, as long as they serve to create a balanced aesthetic experience. |
