\u00a0In other words, provide some detail in your discussion.<\/p>\n 3. \u00a0The length of each song discussion should be about one and one-half to two pages.\u00a0 This gives you enough room to write in some detail without writing a novel.<\/p>\n 4.\u00a0 Please ensure that your biographical information contains the items listed below.\u00a0 Writing this should give you about one page or so of biographical information.<\/p>\n The following is to be included in your composition commentary:<\/p>\n a. dates and a paragraph about the composer\/poet or librettist\u2019s life;<\/p>\n b. a paragraph about his\/her historical significance to the music you are \u00a0performing or to the vocal field in general;<\/p>\n c. a paragraph or so on the genre presented (opera, song cycle,<\/p>\n song, musical theater,\u00a0etc.<\/em>).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" MUS 405 – SENIOR RECITAL 1.\u00a0 The performance must include representative works from the following five categories: a) 17th or 18th-century Italian or English b) 19th-century German c) 19th or 20th-century French d) 20th-century American or British e) an aria from an opera or oratorio. 2.
