GRMUS 689P — Oratorio Practicum

2 credits per semester
Spring
Kent Tritle

This practicum focuses on the rich spectrum of solo vocal repertoire, beginning with the works of Carissimi, Monteverdi, and Charpentier, and extending to the 21st century. Through performance in class, students will examine a broad array of practical issues related to the performance of masterworks including the passions of Bach, oratorios of Handel, and requiems of Mozart, Brahms, Fauré, and Verdi. All participants will perform regularly; singers and pianists are expected to collaborate outside of class to prepare weekly class performances.
