Recital Syllabus & Rules for Online DocuSign Submission

JUNIOR AND SENIOR RECITAL SYLLABUS MUS 323, 423A, 423B SPRING 2021

FACULTY / STAFF CONTACTS:

Dr. David Anglin: Recital Coordinator [email protected] Patty Valenzuela: Administrative Support Coordinator

[email protected] In addition to music preparation, there are many steps to a successful recital. Read this document carefully and keep it for reference. You are responsible for understanding all information and following all policies. Use the recital checklist (a separate document) to help you keep track of what needs to be completed by certain dates. If you are unsure of any recital procedures, contact Dr. Anglin or Patty Valenzuela in the music office. All Spring 2021 recitals must be done as video-recorded ONLINE submissions. Recitals submissions and faculty assessments will use the ‘Docusign’ process described in detail later in this document.

GENERAL POLICIES:

Junior and Senior Recitals are courses in our degree programs. Your recital will be graded by a faculty committee. Grades range from A to F.

Recital length and repertoire requirements will vary by area. Please consult your Studio teacher and your area director.

RECITAL PRE-REQUISITES:

You must have passed Recital Approval at the jury immediately preceding the semester in which you wish to perform your recital. You must perform your recital the semester after permission is granted or permission will be withdrawn, and you must reapply for recital approval. You must be registered in MUS 323 (Junior Recital), MUS 423A (Senior Recital), or MUS 423B (Senior Composition Recital). Students enrolled in MUS 323 must have completed or be concurrently enrolled in Advanced Musicianship (MUS 240). Students enrolled in MUS 423A or B must have completed or be concurrently enrolled in Materials of Modern Music (MUS 342).

CANCELLING OR POSTPONING YOUR RECITAL:

You may only postpone or cancel a recital for an excused absence as defined by the university: • Illness, injury to the student, or medical conditions, including those related to pregnancy • Death, injury, or serious illness of an immediate family member. An immediate family

member is defined as a close relative, or a person residing in the immediate household of the student.

• Religious reasons (California Education Code section 89320) • Jury duty, military service, or other government obligation • University-sanctioned or -approved activities (examples include but are not limited to artistic

performances, participation in scholarly conferences and presentations, intercollegiate athletic activities, student government, required class field trips, etc.)

Lack of preparation is not an acceptable reason to postpone or cancel. You must submit documentation of your emergency to Dr. Anglin for approval to cancel or postpone *prior to your recital*. Students who postpone or cancel without obtaining permission from Dr. Anglin *before the recital* will receive a grade of F for the recital (this is the equivalent to missing the only exam in a course). Approved postponements or cancellations may be assigned a grade of I (incomplete). You may schedule your make-up recital for the following semester. If you take an incomplete in Senior Recital, you are not eligible for State-Paid Lessons the following semester. If you take an incomplete in a Junior recital and it results in delaying your senior recital, note that there will be no exceptions granted to the maximum number of semesters students may be on State-Paid Lessons: 8 for native first year students, 5 for transfer students.

RECITAL PROGRAMS:

Use the Recital Program template found on the Conservatory’s webpage: go to “Current Students” in the top menu, then click on “Recital Information” on the right yellow menu. It is your responsibility to provide professional-quality concert programs for your recital. Please proofread carefully to be sure that all pertinent information is included, and that unnecessary information is deleted from the template.

You should determine the program content and format in consultation with your studio instructor and or area coordinator. A complete copy of your program in the proper format with all performer s names spelled correctly is required as part of the DocuSign process. You cannot complete the recital paperwork without uploading a PDF file of your recital program.

Follow the sample program, below, for formatting, listing composers, dates, performers, titles, and movements. For additional sample programs, see the Concert Audio Archive on the BCCM website in the Current Students section. Some performance areas will also have sample programs in designated folders on Beachboard.

Kate Gillon is available to help you edit and format your program. SEE Beachboard folder ‘Tips from Kate.’ To make an appointment with Kate, use the ‘groups’ tab in the Beachboard menu to select a meeting time. You’ll find the ‘ZOOM LINK to KATE in a folder below the syllabus. Kate’s email is [email protected]

GRADING POLICY:

All recitals are graded by a committee consisting of your Studio Teacher and your Area Director or designate. Grades range from A-F and are subject to change in accordance with policies in this document. DocuSign will send you a copy of your comments and rubrics, once all signing parties have completed their part. If you do not receive your copy please contact Patty Valenzuela.

ACCOMPANISTS:

The Bob Cole Conservatory of Music does not provide you with an accompanist. Please see the Undergraduate Handbook on BeachBoard (in “Music-Undergraduate Organization”) for further information. A list of accompanists is available in the Conservatory Office. Cost is usually based on an hourly rate. It is important that you understand this financial obligation. Videotaping and Live-streaming:

The Conservatory does not provide videotaping services for any recitals. It is the student’s responsibility to arrange to prepare a video recording suitable for submission to the ‘DocuSign’ process. You may choose to ‘Livestream’ your recital but this does not release you from submitting a video recording LINK as part of the DocuSign process.

Clair de lune

Votre âme est un paysage choisi Que vont charmant masques et bergamasques Jouant du luth et dansant et quasi Tristes sous leurs déguisements fantasques. Tout en chantant sur le mode mineur L’amour vainqueur et la vie opportune, Ils n’ont pas l’air de croire à leur bonheur Et leur chanson se mêle au clair de lune, Au calme clair de lune triste et beau, Qui fait rêver les oiseaux dans les arbres Et sangloter d’extase les jets d’eau, Les grands jets d’eau sveltes parmi les marbres.

Les berceaux

Moonlight

Your soul is a select landscape Where charming Masqueraders and bergamaskers go Playing the lute and dancing and almost Sad beneath their fantastic disguises. All sing in a minor key Of victorious love and the opportune life, They do not seem to believe in their happiness And their song mingles with the moonlight, With the still moonlight, sad and beautiful, That sets the birds dreaming in the trees And the fountains sobbing in ecstasy, The tall slender fountains among marble statues.

The Cradles

Ne prennent pas garde aux berceaux, Que la main des femmes balance Mais viendra le jour des adieux, Car il faut que les femmes pleurent, Et que les hommes curieux Tentent les horizons qui leurrent Et ce jour-là les grands vaisseaux, Fuyant le port qui diminue,

And care not about the cradles the hands of women rock But the day of parting will come for it must be that the women weep And the men, curious try the alluring horizons And this day the large ships leaving the port that grows smaller,

Automne au ciel brumeux, aux horizons navrants. Aux rapides couchants, aux aurores pâlies, Je regarde couler, comme l'eau du torrent, Tes jours faits de mélancolie. Sur l'aile des regrets mes esprits emportés, Comme s'il se pouvait que notre âge renaisse! Parcourent, en rêvant, les coteaux enchantés, Où jadis sourit ma jeunesse! Je sens, au clair soleil du souvenir vainqueur, Rehleurir en bouquet les roses deliées, Et monter à mes yeux des larmes, qu'en mon coeur, Mes vingt ans avaient oubliées!

5

Autumn, time of misty skies and heart-breaking horizons, of rapid sunsets and pale dawns, I watch your melancholy days flow past like a torrent. My thoughts borne off on the wings of regret as if our time could ever be relived! dreamingly wander the enchanted slopes where my youth once used to smile. In the bright sunlight of triumphant memory I feel the scattered roses reblooming in bouquets; and tears well up in my eyes, tears which my heart at twenty had already forgotten!


10

Und zu dem Strand, dem weiten, wogenblauen, werden wir still und langsam niedersteigen, stumm werden wir uns in die Augen schauen, und auf uns sinkt des Glückes stummes Schweigen.

Ständchen

And to the shore, the wide shore with blue waves, we will descend quietly and slowly; we will look mutely into each other's eyes and the silence of happiness will settle upon us.

Serenade

The rustle of slender leaf tips whispers in the moonlight;

ed a lei che m'innamor conta i palpiti e i sospir.

Dille pur che lontananza il mio duol non può lenir, che se nutro una speranza,

And can recount my thr To her who fills me with love.

Tell her too that distance Cannot assuage my grief, That if I cherish a hope,

In solitaria stanza

I count the hours of sorrow That a flattering hope Comforts me in my love.

In a lonely room

Bebend harr' ich dir entgegen! Komm, beglücke mich

Ja, du weißt es, teure Seele, Daß ich fern von dir mich quäle,

Liebe macht die Herzen krank, Habe Dank.

Und beschworst darin die Bösen, Bis ich, was ich nie gewesen, Heilig, heilig an's Herz dir

sank, Habe Dank. I wait for you, Come, please me!

Sotto alla vampa estiva Molle narcisso svien.

Io, dall'affanno oppresso, Corro per vie rimote E grido in suon che puote Le rupi intenerir

Salvate, o Dei pietosi, Quella beltà celeste; Voi forse non sapreste Un'altra Irene ordir.

Morgen!

Und morgen wird die Sonne wieder scheinen, und auf dem Wege, den ich gehen werde, wird uns, die Glücklichen, sie wieder einen inmitten dieser sonnenatmenden Erde . . .

3

Beneath the summer's A weak narcissus fades.

I, from anxiety oppressed, Race through remote paths And scream with cries that could Stir the cliffs

Save, O merciful gods, This celestial beauty; Perhaps you would not know How to create another Irene.

Tomorrow!

And tomorrow the sun will shine again, and on the path I will take, it will unite us again, we happy ones, upon this sun-breathing earth . . .
