Abstract

Thomas Alpers, baritone, presented a Graduate Recital on November 16, 1994 at 6:00 p.m. in Russell Hall Auditorium in partial fulfillment of the degree Master of Music in Performance. Assisting on the recital was Marleta Matheson, pianist. This abstract discusses the ideas and musical focus of the recital pieces. Earth and Air and Rain was completed by Gerald Finzi (1901-1956) in 1932 and was originally composed for baritone and piano to poems by Thomas Hardy (1840-1928). Finzi used many of Hardy's poems for his vocal music including another cycle, Before and After Summer. The set performed represents Finzi's first unified work of Hardy's poetry.
