Senior honors recital : an honors thesis (HONRS 499)

Abstract

The program notes contained in this thesis provide some useful background information about the works I performed on my senior honors recital on January 19, 1992. In addition to a brief biography of each composer and composition, I have included texts to the vocal works by Samuel Barber that I transcribed for the tuba. I have also included texts to the poetry used in The Wonderland Duets. I hope that my comments are helpful to the listener seeking a deeper understanding of the works performed.
