Greetings, friends! It's that time again. Time, that is, for me to ask your help in planning another senior recital. This time last year you helped me gather repertoire for my baritone student's program on "Heroes and Villains." That program takes place in April, and I will print the final version closer to recital time. You have also assisted with other interesting topics in the past 6 years, and now I have another one for you to gnaw on.
I have a mezzo-soprano who is interested in presenting a program (and writing the accompanying senior paper) on "The Power of Music." She has been working on a group of lullabies this year, and she thought she might like to do something on the theme of "Music's Power to Soothe." However, we have decided to broaden the theme to include music's power to do a lot of things. We have already come up with a beginning list of songs, but I welcome any and all ideas that you may hit upon. We need songs from a variety of style periods and languages, and we can consider a music theatre group as well. Think about music's power to soothe, to inspire, to comfort, to seduce, to praise, etc.
I await your wisdom.
