Abstract

On Saturday, April 17, 1993, Jeffrey Brich, tenor, presented a recital in partial fulfillment of the Master of Music degree. The recital, approximately one hour in length, consisted of two song cycles. The first cycle performed was Dichterliebe (1840) by Robert Schumann, which contains sixteen songs set to poetry from Heinrich Heine's poetic cycle, Lyrisches Intermezzo. Following an intermission, the recital resumed with a performance of Britten's Serenade, Op. 31 (1943). Originally composed for tenor, horn and strings, the soloist opted to use Britten's piano reduction of the string accompaniment for this performance of the work.
