Richard Strauss

Perfect Tenor Recital Selections

November 6, 2018 By admin Leave a Comment

Voice recitals are part of a voice student’s degree fulfillment requirements. Whether you are preparing for a Junior Recital, Senior Recital, or Graduate Recital, identifying and grouping texts to display your vocal skill is key. Texts may be selected and grouped by language, emotion, or level of difficulty. Texts may also be selected and grouped by composer or as a cycle of work from a single composer.

Although we often see a division in the Lyric Tenor Fach, there are technically only five Fächer for the tenor voice. (Want to learn more about the Fäch System and tenor voice? View our multi-part series on the Fäch System here: http://blog.ipasource.com/2017/04/24/the-fach-system-the-tenor-voice/)

Grouped by Aria and Art Song, this post offers texts for a tenor voice performer to consider including in a recital program.
